1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Hatchback 2-door 3.0l All Original! Unmolested! on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
1989 Toyota Supra Turbo Unmolested, Original Supra Turbo. Very hard to find in this condition. 77272 original miles. Automatic transmission. Ice Cold A/C. Wheels are absolutely perfect and it is sitting on new Nitto NT450 tires. In the last 300 miles it has had a new Alternator, spark plugs and wires, O2 sensors, thermostat, valve cover gaskets, drive belts and several hoses. The car does not leak anything or burn any oil. Original owner's manuals. I also have a LeBra front bra for the car with mirror covers, new in the box, that is included as well. This is a non-smoking vehicle. Ash tray and lighter appear to have never been used. No smells. Very nice original Burgundy cloth interior with no rips, stains or tears. Original carpeted Supra floormats. No cracks in dash. Original luggage cover works perfect and looks great. Interior is extremely clean. I would give the interior a 9/10 or better. The tops of the rear seats have some minor fading, but that is it. The exterior of the car is in very good shape. White paint shines nicely. All the glass is in perfect shape, no scratches, with a very nice tint job on the windows. It doesn't appear to have ever been in any accidents. There are some nicks and scratches in the paint, but not many. A couple of small dings along the right rear quarter panel. The front spoiler has a small tear in it from low driveways, I guess. I have only noticed a couple of tiny rust spots. Nothing bad for a car of 25 years old and being in and around several climates in its life. Overall, I would give the exterior of the car an 8.5/10 or better. This car has obviously had caring owners throughout it's life. It drives out great and the turbo spools up and has a great sound to it. I am being extremely forthright with what I have noticed about the car and want the buyer to be informed with truthful information. I am describing this car the way I would want it described to me. Please remember that it is 25 years old. This is not a new car. I am a very small, very particular, auto dealer in Houston, TX. I do it as a side business as I just love cars of all kinds. I only buy cars to resell that I like and enjoy. This car is owned by my company, 1012 Motorcars in Houston, TX. The buyer will have to pay a Vehicle Inventory Tax of .2558961% (about $25 per $10000) and temp. license plate fee of $5. Texas buyers will also have to pay sales tax of 6.25% along with Registration fees (@$55). Out of state buyers are responsible for titling and paying appropriate fees in your own state. I will accept a deposit thru PayPal of $500 within 24 hours of auction close and the car must be paid for in full within 7 days of Auction close by either Cash, Bank Wire or Certified Bank Check only. I will assist with shipping at the buyer's expense. Please check my feedback. I have sold many cars, and other stuff, to many happy people on eBay. Please forward any questions that you have to me and I will answer promptly. Thank you for looking and bidding! |

Hello, Siri? Please don't crash the car
Tue, Oct 7 2014Hands on the wheel and eyes on the road? You could still be distracted while driving. Voice-recognition software that many automakers tout as a safer alternative to handheld devices can still divert drivers' attention, a new study published by AAA found. Researchers noted that workload ratings were the highest on their scales when participants in the study used Siri. The technology is alluring because it allows drivers to do things like change the radio station or compose a text message without removing their hands from the wheel or their gaze from the road. But many of those tasks increase a driver's cognitive workload. Depending on the situation, that can be dangerous. "It's especially problematic, because you can be distracted and not know it," J. Peter Kissinger, president of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, told Autoblog. "That's the nature of mental distraction. It's hard to appreciate. ... Often, you don't know you're distracted until it's too late." There's significant variation in the results of the study. Simple, single-task car commands for operations like changing the radio station caused minimal increases in workload, about the same as listening to an audio book. Composing information using speech-to-text technology was more burdensome, and using menu-based functions caused a high level of cognitive workload. Siri-based interactions posed the highest levels of distraction, according to AAA. Researchers noted that workload ratings were the highest on their scales when participants in the study used Siri, and two of the three simulator crashes they observed during the study of 36 participants came while the subjects were interacting with Siri. The subjects weren't looking at nor making contact with their iPhones during these interactions. "Common issues involved inconsistencies in which Siri would produce different responses to seemingly identical commands," the researchers wrote. "In other circumstances, Siri required exact phrases to accomplish specific tasks and subtle deviations from that phrasing would result in a failure. ... Some participants also reported frustration with Siri's occasional sarcasm and wit." It wasn't just the complexity of the task that caused variations in level of distraction – the variations could also be dependent on the particular make and model of the car being tested.
Toyota launches Pixis Space; first kei cars are Daihatsus in drag
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Toyota has announced that it will unveil its first-ever kei car to be sold under its recently launched Pixis sub-brand. The vehicle, called the Pixis Space, will make its official debut in late September. Based on the Daihatsu Move Conte, the Pixis Space will be sold at Toyota dealerships through what the automakers calls "Pixis stations." Yes, seriously.
After Toyota's version of the Daihatsu Move Conte makes its debut, the Japanese automaker will launch a Pixis-badged Daihatsu Hijet truck and microvan in December. By the end of 2012, Toyota says it will launch a Pixis version of the upcoming Daihatsu e:S - a vehicle that returns 70.6 miles per gallon (U.S.) as measured under Japan's JC08 test cycle.
In case you weren't aware, Daihatsu - Japan's oldest manufacturer of automobiles - operates under the control of Toyota. In other words, these Pixis machines are simply badge engineering at the kei level.
JLR shares backstage 'No Time to Die' Range Rover Sport SVR carnage
Sat, Sep 18 2021James Bond's latest adventures will take him to Norway and Scotland, as seen in the trailer for the upcoming "No Time to Die." Somewhere along the way, the British spy encounters a pair of Range Rover Sport SVRs, the ultimate high-performance SUV from JLR's Special Vehicle Operations division in one of the movie's centerpiece car chases. Now, the company has given us a behind-the-scenes look at its filming, and the automotive carnage that ensues. The filmmakers wanted to take a Bond action sequence off-road, and chose the Range Rover Sport SVR as the the bad guys' pursuit vehicle. Armed with a JLR product placement deal (Bond drives a new Defender in another part of the movie) the henchmen had no qualms picking one of the most expensive things on the menu. Unfortunately, that also makes is a bit hard to watch when machines that start at $115,000 are totaled as they careen through the air or roll onto their roofs. The SVRs share a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 with the Jaguar F-Type SVR and are the most powerful vehicles in the Land Rover portfolio. With 575 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque on tap, translating to a 0-60 time of 4.3 seconds, they're the perfect weapon for chasing a super-spy down a dirt road. As for Bond himself, 007 makes his escape in a decades-old yellow Toyota Land Cruiser Prado. Specifically, it's a 90-series, a smaller version built from 1996 to 2002 that was never sold in the U.S. but remains popular in other parts of the world. The most powerful engine had just 190 horsepower from a 3.4 liter V6 shared with the similar-era 4Runner. Despite the power discrepancy, Bond manages to dispatch the Range Rovers in spectacular fashion. Wait, this is a Range Rover promo, right? "All the stunts are for real, there's nothing that's CGI'ed," said Neil Layton, the film's action vehicle coordinator. "So to make the cars more dramatic on the screen, we had to turn off a lot of safety feature aids that's on there." Interestingly, another non-JLR product shows up in the video as well. The camera car is a blacked out (to minimize reflection in other cars) Ford F-150 Raptor outfitted with a massive rooftop boom. "No Time to Die" is hits the screens on October 8.
