I'm a dealer of classic and collectible cars, and I also import Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Land Cruisers. I ran across this '88 Celica and could not resist buying it and importing it into the US. This is a one-owner car with low miles (112,206 KM's or 69,693 Miles). It is in excellent condition, as you can see in the complete set of photos. Everything works except the cruise control, which engages but does not hold the set speed. The power top operates properly, all 4 power windows work, and even the radio works (although it is Japanese band so it only receives a small range of US frequencies). This car has been mechanically inspected, and is ready to be licensed and driven. The only flaws on the body are two small dimples on the passenger side front fender and a small dent under the passenger side rear tail light. Both of these defects are clearly visible in the photos. Also there is a defect in the center of the dash, perhaps where a GPS unit was mounted. Overall, this Celica is in excellent condition. I couldn't find a spec of rust on the entire vehicle. I can't be sure it's the original paint, but it appears to be. The only things I've done to the car are replacing the battery, checking the fluids, inspecting the mechanicals, and a thorough detailing. It has been driven about 800 KM's since arriving, and runs and drives perfectly.

This Celica was imported in July 2013. It comes with copies of all the import paperwork including the EPA and DOT import declarations and a copy of the Japanese Export Certificate. This car has a clean Missouri title and can be registered in all 50-states. The correct VIN is ST1627212811 which is non-standard for a newer vehicle in the USA, but correct for a JDM spec vehicle.

The engine is an inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve, 2.0L gas model with electronic fuel injection. The original JDM battery was bad when it arrived so I purchased and installed a new Yellow-Top Optima battery. The car starts easily and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly and is easy to drive. It is right-hand-drive, but this is very easy to get used to after a few minutes of driving. It's only an inconvenience at a drive-through or ATM machine, lol.

Included is the original spare tire, and the original Toyota toolkit. The toolkit is very cool and includes several tools with the Toyota name on them.

Why Lexus shies away from plug-in hybrids
Mon, Apr 20 2015Lexus may have softened its stance a bit from the anti plug-in vehicle ads the Toyota luxury badge ran last year, but at least one executive from the company casts a pretty critical eye towards the concept as a way to cut both emissions and refueling costs. In fact, Lexus doesn't really buy the fact that buyers of plug-in hybrids are really looking to save both gas and the environment, Green Car Reports says, citing an interview at the recent New York Auto Show with Lexus executive Mark Templin. Templin also said hydrogen fuel-cell technology may be a better way to edge towards zero emissions. Templin decried plug-in hybrid technology because it adds weight to vehicles, which contributes to poor emissions figures in the process. He added that plug-in vehicle buyers are motivated more by potential tax credits and solo driving rights in high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes than cutting back on fuel use. Last summer, Lexus ran an supposedly tongue-in-cheek print ad poking fun at how long it takes to charge a plug-in vehicle and how using air conditioning can shorten a car's charging range. Last spring, Lexus had to backpedal from an anti-electric ad it ran that had serious mistakes about hydrogen infrastructure. News Source: Green Car Reports Green Lexus Toyota Hybrid PHEV
Toyota raises Japanese base wages for first time since 2008
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Toyota is on track for record profits, and in return, its Japanese workers are receiving their first increase in base wages since 2008, plus higher pay based on seniority and a larger bonus for 2014. The Japanese automaker predicts the average laborer will net a 2.9 percent income gain.
The average Toyota employee will earn 2,700 yen ($26.28) more each month, a 0.8 percent increase from last year. Workers will also receive about 7,300 yen ($71.09) more monthly based on seniority and promotions. Finally, the company's union pushed through a median bonus of 2.44 million yen ($23,768) for 2014, the highest in 6 years.
The pay boost comes as Toyota forecasts a record 1.9-trillion yen ($18.5 billion) profit for the fiscal year ending on March 31, according to Bloomberg. It has been helped by the Japanese government's efforts to weaken the yen on international markets and expand inflation. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been asking businesses to increase compensation to end years of deflation and offset upcoming higher sales taxes. Honda and Nissan have also raised their wages there in recent months.
Toyota close to licensing deal with BMW for fuel cell technology
Wed, 23 Jan 2013For over a year now, we've been hearing about a potential partnership between Toyota and BMW on everything from sports cars to lithium-ion batteries, but one of the first cooperative projects between these two automakers could bring Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technology to a BMW vehicle. Reuters is reporting that an announcement is likely to be made as soon as later this week regarding a BMW fuel cell vehicle that could be in production by 2020 with a prototype running around by 2015.
The last we heard of Toyota's fuel cell technology, it was in the FCV-R Concept that we saw at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, but there is no word how far along in development this system is. If it does come to fruition, such a vehicle for BMW would build on the automaker's commitment to hydrogen that started with the Hydrogen 7, which unlike a fuel cell vehicle, simply ran on hydrogen fuel rather than converting it to electricity for use in motors. We're definitely interested where this Toyota/BMW tie up could be headed.
