This car is in excellent condition. I bought it from the second owner, who bought it from a co-worker at PG&E. It has been garaged and parked covered almost it's entire life, and the condition of the paint and trim and weatherstripping shows it. The current mileage is 73,119.
I bought this car with plans of making it a sort of cruiser. Yeah, I wish it was a GTS or at least a manual transmission car too, but it is so clean that I thought it would be perfect just to find some japanese bumpers and lower the car slightly to make just a cool cruiser. The auto is a nice overdrive 4 speed, so it gets around great. Unfortunately now, things are happening in my life and I need to get down to the bare essentials, so this near collector grade car has to go before I could really get started on it. The lady I bought it from had lost her license and couldn't see too well. She bumped the front drivers side headlight cover in a parking lot, and was also responsible for the dent on the passenger side rear fender. What actually saved the car was the fuel pump, which I believe committed suicide in order to save the rest of the car. When I bought the car the lady's caretaker said "it has some sort of fuel problem" and he was right. I replaced the fuel pump with a factory Toyota kyosan unit and it has been running perfectly ever since. The only other work that has ever been to the car besides regular oil changes is the replacement of the drivers headlight cover and the sunroof. These were painted to match the car by a local body shop and, while they look decent, are not a perfect match. I don't think most people would notice, but I know what I'm looking for, and I can't honestly say the job was done perfectly. If I had more time I would have these repainted again, but because of life circumstances these are going to be left to the next owner. The only other damage on the car is a tear in the front bumper from the same event that dented the headlight cover. Fortunately the fender and hood were not effected in any way and remain totally original. The paint is bright and shiny everywhere with only extremely minor door dings and scratches resulting from normal careful use. The car is virtually rust free, with a little bit of rust on the underside of the hood where water accumulates in the support bracket or something like that. The sunroof was rusted, as they all are. This is a result of the toyotas seal design and the 2 ply construction of the panel. Basically, a steel sandwhich winds up being permanently submerged in water which ends with a rusty panel even in a car that was garage kept. The roof itself is perfect, and the sunroof was replaced with a fiberglass unit that looks stock, weighs a lot less, and won't rust again. All in all this is an exceptionally clean AE86 in one of the best color combinations ever offered for these. Feel free to contact me for more photos or with any questions or if you would like to inspect the car before bidding. Of course the car is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied, I encourage anyone interested to take a look at the car and see how nice it is for yourself. Buyer is responsible for the arrangement of freight. Please remember that a bid on this auction is a contractual obligation to purchase. Thanks a lot guys! |

Next Toyota Prius may get optional all-wheel drive
Tue, Jul 15 2014We've been hearing rumors about the next generation of the Toyota Prius for the last couple of years on a pretty regular basis. From the expectation of lithium-ion battery packs with more capacity for electric-only miles to wireless charging and more emotional styling, there's been no shortage of talking points for the car that's expected to see its first light of day at the very end of 2015 (we hope). But one thing we've yet to hear about, until now that is, is all-wheel drive. According to a report from Automotive News, Koei Saga, senior managing officer in charge of powertrain development of the Prius, said in an interview last week, "I think we will possibly do [all-wheel drive]" for the car's next generation. There isn't any further indication on how the AWD system would work, but we'd put our money on something similar, at least in principle, to the E-Four system that just debuted on the 2015 Lexus NX 300h, which uses an electric motor mounted at the rear to power the car's back wheels when the front wheels lose traction. The AN report also repeats a rumor we've heard before – that Toyota may offer two different battery pack options in its next Prius, one using lithium-ion chemistry and one using the nickel metal hydride technology that the Prius has featured from its very beginning. While the automaker has yet to talk efficiency, it's natural to expect more capacity for EV driving from newer lithium-based technology over that of nickel-based packs to go along with what we'd also expect would be a somewhat higher price. We're sure you're just as curious about the next Prius as much as we are, and so we'll leave you with these words, again from Saga: "The batteries will be renewed. Everything will be revised. And I think we will come up with a fuel economy that will surprise everyone."

Toyota's refreshed Sai is a Lexus HS by any other name
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Toyota first launched Lexus in the United States back in 1989, but it wasn't until 2005 that it brought the luxury marque home to roost. But don't think that Toyota didn't find a way of selling many of its premium models in the Japanese Domestic Market in the meantime. The Lexus LS was sold as the Toyota Celsion, the ES as the Vista and Camry Prominent, and the SC as the Soarer. (We could go on, but you get the point.)
These days Lexus sells in markets around the world, including Japan, but Toyota still spins off its own versions of Lexus models to sell domestically as well. Like the new Sai, for example. Sharing its platform, hybrid propulsion and much more with the Lexus HS (which you may remember as the world's first dedicated luxury hybrid until it was pulled from the market early last year), the Sai was introduced to Japan at the same time as the HS was rolled out around the world. Now nearly four years on the market, Toyota has given it a bit of a refresh.
Boasting a far more aggressive front end and a restyled rear, the revised Sai features LED headlights, 16-inch alloys and a higher-quality interior in which JDM buyers will find a new center console and trim, along with an optional 10-speaker infotainment system. Toyota also boasts that the new Sai is made of 20-percent Ecological Plastic and recycled resin.
