Up for sale is my 1998 Toyota Celica GT Convertible, I'm listing it one more time before it goes to the Junk Yard, I have to make room in my garage so If you see the value in it please take advantage of getting a great deal on this great car.

Recently my car was rear Ended and the labor cost was going to exceed the value of the car so I'm not able to afford to have the back repaired. It does not have a salvage title, but it is a "Revival Junk", This is what the DMV has it as right now. Basically it can be repaired if someone is willing to put the time into fixing it or want's to use it for parts or to part it out. It will be sold as a junk car and if you end up repairing the damage then you can go to the dmv and go through the steps of trying to get it inspected etc..

This car is fully running and in great shape besides the damage from the accident in the back. Under the hood the engine etc are all in amazing condition. The Car drives like a dream and Was taken such good care of. The car has been garage kept and well maintained. So if you are interested in it for parts or to repair or have any questions please email me before purchasing.

If you are rebuilding a celica this is a great parts car, or if you buy it you can part it out and make more money off of it then i'm asking. I have seen used celica gt motors sell for 1,500+ dollars just in itself not including everything else under the hood along with exterior and interior parts and accessories so I'm going to have to take a loss on it because I don't have the ability myself to drop the engine out, the converter and everything else under the hood, because if I could i would make way more money doing that then selling it out right to someone, but I need it out of my garage so I can move on and put my new car in. The windows & glass are all original and in excellent shape, everything inside is original oem parts. I have been checking around and just finding any parts on a 1998 celica gt are so hard to find in great condition that the people whom are selling the doors and glass and fabric to the roof etc are making a killing on selling the parts. I know just the parts alone for the convertible top are super expensive if bought new, I know because I had to have new hydrolics put in when I first bought the car so the top would lay back flat and wow I spent 2500.00 just to get that fixed for parts and labor.  If you buy parts new from toyota if they still have them you pay an arm and a leg for them so here is a chance to get these parts for a really great deal and fix up your own celica. I had an offer for 1850.00 just for the engine alone but as I can't part it out myself I had to pass. Just The back heated glass window alone people are charging 300.00+ dollars used. If you are considering parting it out the switches inside are all working great, you have all the interior and exterior parts from the mechanical parts to the doors, the fenders, front bumper, windows, seats, steering wheels, mirrors, floor matts shifter, alarm, switches, convertible top fabric to all the parts that make it function to sell, along with headlights, engine, wheels, tires are all in excellent shape, I could go on forever. So if anyone is seriously considering on fixing it up, using it for parts to fix up their current celica, or making great money Parting it out from the interior to the exterior and everything under the hood this is a great car to do so with.

Toyota to kill Scion brand [w/video]

Wed, Feb 3 2016

Toyota Motor Co. said Wednesday it will kill its youth-oriented Scion brand, ending a 13-year experiment that attracted new customers but ultimately drained resources from the parent company. The FR-S sports car, iA sedan, and iM five-door hatchback will be re-badged as Toyotas starting in August for the 2017 model year, and the tC coupe will end production then. The C-HR displayed at the Los Angeles Auto Show will become a Toyota vehicle when it launches. Scion's 22 dedicated team members will be given opportunities to join Toyota. Toyota says it made the decision in response to customers' needs, noting it finds younger buyers want practicality in addition to the individualistic styling and features that Scion offered. Meanwhile, Toyota's own vehicles have gotten sportier, which the company says appeals to younger buyers. Scion claimed some successes, pointing to its average customer age of 36 years old, with 70 percent of its buyers new to Toyota. Scion sold more than a million vehicles since it launched. Its best year was 2006, when it sold 173,034 vehicles. Sales declined steadily in 2007-08 and then crashed in 2009 during the recession to 57,961 units, before bottoming out in 2010 with only 45,678 sales. "This isn't a step backward for Scion; it's a leap forward for Toyota. Scion has allowed us to fast track ideas that would have been challenging to test through the Toyota network," said Jim Lentz, founding vice president of Scion and now CEO, Toyota Motor North America. "I was there when we established Scion and our goal was to make Toyota and our dealers stronger by learning how to better attract and engage young customers. I'm very proud because that's exactly what we have accomplished." While Scion never recovered from its drastic sales decline, it served as a test bed for marketing and dealer tactics that helped its parent company. Scion tried out no-haggle pricing, a streamlined option plan (some cars had only two choices: color and transmission) and a pre-paid maintenance plan. "We appreciate our 1,004 Scion dealers and the support they've given the brand," said Bob Carter, Toyota senior vice president of automotive operations. "We believe our dealers have gained valuable insights and have received a strong return on their investment.

The tumultuous history of the diesel engine

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Volkswagen, diesel's most enthusiastic patron, deceived everyone about the amount of emissions its cars were putting out. We have covered this latest massive automotive scandal in great detail, and there are surely more fascinating revelations to come. It turns out that this is just the latest episode in the epic story of the controversy and intrigue surrounding the diesel engine, and its inventor. This is the story of the tumultuous birth and interesting evolution of the compression-ignition engine at the center of the VW scandal. Napoleon III Got Rudolf Diesel Deported Rudolf Diesel was born in Paris in 1858. His Bavarian parents had settled in France where his father, Theodor, was a leather goods manufacturer. When the French Parliament declared war on Prussia, kicking off the Franco-Prussian war, the Diesels fled to London. When he was 12, Rudolf went to live with his aunt and uncle in the Bavarian university town of Augsburg. It was his parents' hometown, and importantly, it's where Rudolf began studying at the Royal County Trade School. His time in Augsburg, graduating at the top of his class from trade school that laid the groundwork for all that was to come. Diesel Nearly Blew Himself Up An early career in refrigeration saw Diesel running R&D in Berlin for Linde, a company started by refrigeration pioneer Carl Von Linde, one of Diesel's professors. His ambition to branch out beyond refrigeration, and his deep understanding of thermodynamics, led to efficiency experiments with steam engines. Diesel was trying to create an engine that didn't waste heat from the combustion process, therefore getting the most work out of the fuel. Instead, he was nearly killed when an experimental ammonia vapor steam engine exploded. Recovery took many months, and during some of that time, he was no doubt planning his next experimental engine, based on the theoretical Carnot cycle. His Engine Was An Attempt To Stick It To The Man Steam engines were expensive to run and wasteful. Diesel thought the efficiency of his design would be a way for the small business to compete with the dominant industrial giants. It was, and it did, but big business is equally passionate about chasing efficiency. Diesel engines quickly proliferated in industries both grand and cottage. Rudolf Didn't Really Invent The Diesel As We Know It Instead, he improved an existing one to a significant degree. The Diesel engine could be considered an evolution of the "hot-bulb" engine.

Dubai claims debut of Toyota GT86 sedan concept

Sun, 03 Nov 2013

Typically, when the organizers of an auto show reveal that a new car will debut at their show, we take notice. But this particular claim from the Dubai International Motor Show ought to be taken with a grain of salt.
As our compatriots at AutoGuide discovered, the Facebook page for the Emirates auto expo includes a post with an interesting claim: that a sedan based on the Toyota GT86 (known in the US as the Scion FR-S) will debut at the show. The Facebook post is accompanied by the image above, purporting to show the concept in question.
The strange part is that the organizers claim the four-door GT86 concept will make its "regional unveil" at the Dubai show, which would seem to indicate that the concept in question would make its international debut at an earlier show. Considering that the doors open in Dubai on Tuesday, that seems increasingly unlikely. All of this begs the question, If this isn't actually a four-door GT86, what might it be?
