You are looking at a well kept, winter covered, mint condition, fantastic '85 Supra. NO RUST. I have had her for about 5 years and love her to death but it is time to move on.

I am the second owner and I have only put on about 4,000 miles. I will be completely honest about everything wrong with the car, no sense in telling any stories, you will see it anyway. The AC compressor won't hold a charge. The O rings have shrunk up and the whole system probably needs the O rings changed. If it was driven more the oil in the system would keep them lubed but that hasn't happened. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS, even the motorized antenna. I do have some videos of the car. I have done a lot to keep her in great mechanical shape. All replacement parts are Toyota. I have even saved the old parts. What has been replaced: Plugs, plug wires, all water hoses, all belts (including timing, done by dealer), slave cylinder, cap/rotor, tires, gas cap, headlights. EVERYTHING else is ORIGINAL. It is kept under a chamois car cover, with a waterproof cover over that from November to May. The waterproof cover was riped up during a February wind storm (worse than Sandy), so that is gone. But, I tied down the ripped cover with bungie cords and one of them wore thru and scratched the top of the car! CRAP.. I have touched it up but you can still see it. For the most part the paint is in fantastic shape, there are a couple of very small paint chips, but you really have to look to see them. The ONLY rust is on both sides of the spoiler where it touches the liftgate, I have a picture. So very small, just can't get to it because of the location.I have a picture of the driver door, where the clear coat is peeling just a little above the trim. Again, I want you to know everything. The interior is in perfect shape, almost showroom, the only thing that shows any discolor or wear is the steering wheel, and that is minor compared to the ones I see online or on Ebay.

As you can see I am not asking top dollar. But, this car is worth top dollar. Each winter I take out the battery and in the spring when I reinstall it, and turn the key, she just instantly turns over and purrs like a kitten. Wonderful. And boy can she fly! I never have been one to push her, but she wants to go, go, go! I would love her to go to a person who loves to collect classic cars. But, that would be up to you as the new owner. :)

After the auction is complete, and a winner is declared, the winning bidder must make a comletely refundable $2000 payment to my PayPal account. The remainder will be paid when the car is seen and the winning bidder is completely happy. You will have to go to my local bank and present a check or money order with verifiction of funds. The Title will then be signed over to the new owner.

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.

Next-gen Toyota Tacoma to debut at Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Toyota's confirmation comes on the heels of General Motors' successful launch of its own midsize pickups. The next generation of the Toyota Tacoma pickup truck will be revealed in January at the Detroit Auto Show, a top executive confirmed Thursday. Bob Carter, senior vice president of automotive operations for Toyota, offered no other details, but the new version of the pickup is expected to have significant upgrades compared with the aging model on sale now. Our spy shooters caught a prototype testing this summer, and rumors of the new generation have been swirling for months. We've also previously reported that Toyota is planning to ramp up production next April at a factory in Mexico that builds the Tacoma. Toyota's confirmation comes on the heels of General Motors' successful launch of its own midsize pickups, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, which have garnered awards, positive reviews and solid sales since they arrived in showrooms this fall. It's unclear how large the new Tacoma will be, especially considering that the Canyon and Colorado flirt with fullsize territory. The Tacoma was last updated in 2012, and the segment has changed dramatically since then with the addition of the GM trucks. Another Tacoma competitor, Honda's aging Ridgeline, is also expected to re-launch in 2015, which would leave the Nissan Frontier as the oldest truck in the field. Tacoma sales have slipped 4.1 percent to 140,757 units this year, though they posted a 3.3-percent gain in November. Meanwhile, Carter also said Lexus will reveal two performance vehicles, though he didn't elaborate. "I'll leave it at that, but I promise you'll enjoy it," he said coyly. Lexus just showed the LF-C2 convertible concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Toyota expects hybrids will soon reach 20-percent sales volume globally

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Hybrids have come quite a long way from their roots as dull, slow, boring ecomobiles. Today, Porsche sells three hybrid models, one of which is the amazing 918 Spyder. BMW will soon sell four, including a low-slung, two-seat sports car. Even Ferrari and McLaren, full-fledged hypercar manufacturers, are embracing the tech. And all of these cars are sold alongside the same sort of boring cars that popularized hybrids in the first place. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, though, we should see an even bigger increase in the number of hybrid vehicles in the coming years.
"I foresee hybrid models pretty soon reaching 20 percent of global sales from about 13 percent to 14 percent now," Uchiyamada-san told Automotive News. Uchiyamada is the man behind the original Prius, which gives him some degree of authority on making predictions about hybrid adoption.
What's remarkable, though, is that the 20-percent figure doesn't include plug-in hybrids, just gas- and diesel-electric models. "Suppliers need higher volumes to slash costs of components specific to plug-in models, including batteries that should be bigger and more capable than the ones used in traditional hybrids," Uchiyamada told AN.
