1987 Toyota Corolla Ae86 - New Engine And Great Shape - Real Mileage 43,000 on 2040-cars
Clinton, Missouri, United States
|
For Sale is a rare 87 Toyota Corolla Sport SR5 Coupe 2-Door AE86 1.6 L Gas SOHC.
The engine was replaced 43,000 miles ago in 2005 along with many parts under the hood. Around the same time it got a new paint job (of the original color) and rust repair. In 2008 the windshield was replaced and is in excellent condition. The interior, as you can see, is also in excellent condition. The original radio has been replaced with a CD player /pocket and the back and front speakers have been replaced as well. Other than these few audio modifications and engine replacement no other major modifications have been made to the car and she is all original. The car lights function perfectly. The heating and A/C works but the vent changer is stuck on forward facing vents. The cruise control doesn't work. Since 2005 it was used until 2007 when it was put into storage for almost the entire year while I was abroad. Then from 2009 to 2013 it was stored again while I went abroad a second time. As expected from an engine with only 43,000 miles, it runs great, starts up right away, gets up to speed fast and rides smooth. The vehicle has a clean title and no liens. All major and minor work was paid off when completed. All receipts and documents for work done to the car since it was bought used by me in 2003 is still available, including the engine replacement and paint job mentioned above. This car was lovingly used for the majority of 11 years but now it's time for me to move on and put this rare vehicle into the hands of someone who can continue caring for it. As for knocks against the car, there is a bit of rust around the back wheel wells and on the driver's side front wheel well and a bit on the passenger side front wheel well. Other than this the exterior is in great condition. The dash is cracked in several places and there is a hole on the driver's side seat that has been patched. The car has been very reliable and I would expect it to continue to run great. The vehicle is about an hour away but I am in Kansas City. If you are serious about the car then I will drive it up to show you. I'm open to negotiations. If interested please contact me and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have. |

Why Toyota Camry's Korea Car of the Year win is a big-time upset
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2013 Toyota Camry is officially the car of the year in Korea. The country's motoring press graced the Japanese sedan with the honor for the first time, officially marking a shift in prevailing Korean attitudes toward Japan and its products. According to industry analysts, buyers in the country are no longer simply choosing their purchases based on whether or not they're made in South Korea, but rather based on quality and personal choice. That's a big jump from a few years ago, when buyers viewed their purchases through a patriotic lens.
The Camry managed to edge out a total of 44 other cars, including hardware from both Hyundai and Kia, to become the first foreign vehicle to take home the Korea Automobile Journalist Association's Car of the Year award. As The Detroit News points out, just 10 years ago, domestic manufacturers held some 99 percent of the Korean car market. But a change in trade regulations has opened up the country considerably, and buyers now have access to a wide range of products from around the globe. As a result, Hyundai and Kia have countered by cutting prices in an attempt to keep their grip on the market.
Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?
Fri, 09 Nov 2012We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.
Toyota settles first wrongful death suit related to unintended acceleration
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Toyota's sales seem to have rebounded from the unintended acceleration issues from 2009 and 2010, but the automaker is far from done dealing with this situation. Following a settlement worth up to $1.4 billion for economic loss to affected vehicle owners, Toyota has settled rather than going to trial in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from an accident in Utah in 2010 that left two passengers dead. This isn't the first case in which Toyota has settled, but it was the first among a consolidated group of cases being held in Santa Ana, CA.
According to The Detroit News, this case was scheduled to take place next month, and it was for a November 2010 incident in which Paul Van Alfen and Charlene James Lloyd were killed in a Camry when, based on findings by the Utah Highway Patrol, the accelerator got stuck causing the car to speed out of control and hit a wall; the terms of the settlement were not announced.
The article says that while Toyota will settle on some cases, it doesn't plan on settling on all of them as it still wants to be able to "defend [its] product at trial." This will probably be the case in suits claiming that software for the drive-by-wire accelerator was the cause of an accident in a Toyota or Lexus vehicle. The question of whether or not the electronic accelerator played any role in this problem has been a hot-button topic since the beginning. Toyota has issued recalls in the past to attempt to prevent unintended acceleration caused by trapped floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but it also says driver error was to blame in some instances.
