73,119 Miles 1987 Toyota Corolla Sport Sr5 Coupe 2-door Ae86 on 2040-cars
Arcata, California, United States
|
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! |

Honda Civic losing ground to Toyota Corolla, sales crown threatened
Wed, Dec 17 2014Oh, what a difference a year has made. When the numbers were tallied for 2013, the Honda Civic was riding high by claiming its segment's sales crown in the US despite being challenged by the latest generation of the Toyota Corolla for part of the year. However, with just a month to go in the battle for C-segment supremacy in 2014, it looks like Toyota gets to hoist the trophy this time. Looking at November sales numbers, Honda moved 300,644 Civics through the first 11 months of the year, down 2.1 percent in volume. Furthermore, for the month alone, the company sold 23,060 Civics, a 12.3 percent drop. Meanwhile, on Toyota's side, business has been booming comparatively. Through the first 11 months it sold 309,373 Corollas, a 10.6 percent jump, and for November alone it moved 25,609 examples, a 14.2 percent improvement. With fewer than 10,000 cars between them, it would take quite a December slump for the Corolla to lose this fight. According to The Truth About Cars, the Civic actually started out the 2014 somewhat positively with 5 percent growth over the previous year, though still behind the Corolla's figures. However, the Honda has seen a slide since then with five consecutive months of sales drops. Meanwhile, the Toyota has generally kept showing growth. Being the newer model of the two, the Corolla comes to this fight with an advantage. Honda hasn't let the Civic languish; it gave the model a CVT in 2014 to boost fuel economy. That's nothing like the Toyota's thorough recent rethink, though. According to TTAC, Honda does have reason to crow about the Civic, just not necessarily in the US. The model is on track to be the bestselling vehicle in Canada for the 17th consecutive year and have its best sales since 2008 there.
Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R zips in on its way to Frankfurt
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Toyota has been known to make some exciting cars over the years, but its hybrids, well... let's just say a Prius appeals to a different kind of buyer. The TS030 Hybrid LMP1, on the other hand, now that's more our speed. And at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, the Japanese industrial giant will bridge the gap with the concept car you see here. Previewed in bits and pieces along the way, Toyota has now revealed the full details and array of photos of its new Yaris Hybrid-R concept. And what the full picture reveals is a Prius C that's gone to the gym - or more appropriately, the track.
Powering this little pocket rocket is TMG's Global Racing Engine: a 1.6-liter inline-four with direct injection and a Garett turbocharger to drive 300 horsepower to the front wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox. A pair of electric motors provide an extra 60 hp to each of the rear wheels for a combined output of 420 hp and through-the-road all-wheel drive. A third 60hp electric motor serves as traction control under acceleration and acts as a generator under braking to feed the TS030-derived super capacitor that boasts a higher power density and faster charge/discharge speed than a traditional battery. The system can provide a 40-horse boost for ten seconds in Road mode, or the full 120hp for five seconds in Track mode.
Though based on the three-door Yaris, there'd be no mistaking this for any ordinary econo-hatch. 18-inch TRD alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires pack the wheel wells and a wider grille dominates the front fascia, while black and blue trim contrast sharply with the white bodywork. The rear pillar incorporates a quick-fill competition-spec fuel cap, LED daytime running lights illuminate the way and oversized brakes keep it all under control. The interior boasts Recaro racing buckets in black leather and blue Alcantara. There's more to digest in the press release below, but the bottom line is that if this is where Toyota is taking its hybrids, we want to climb into the driver's seat, and we're looking forward to seeing the concept in the flesh next week.
