1992, All Original, Supra With Turbo, Leather, Removable Top, And Only 92,000 Mi on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
Rare, completely
original 1992 Toyota Supra MKIII, with turbo, automatic transmission, 92,000 miles,
leather, and removable roof panel. This car has all options. The last year of
this body style, the ’92 is the most sophisticated design and best of its run
(according to car magazine reviews of the day). Teal blue paint is original and
in excellent shape considering its 22 years in the So Cal sunshine. There is a
barely noticeable ding or two in the door panel from a car door opening into it
in a parking lot. And a barely noticeable abrasion mark about 6 inches long on
the right front bumper that can probably be buffed out. The paint is also
beginning to show signs of oxidation here and there in the clear-coat (that can
also probably be buffed out). The
oxidation can be seen mainly on the roof panel and rear bumper/spoiler area. The
black trim around the rear lift-back glass and black paint on wiper arms shows
some sun damage (see pics). Interior is very good (dash is perfect, no splits)
but passenger seat (now covered) recently developed a crack and split open in
the seat area. The previous owner shortened the driver floor mat, it apparently
curled up and interfered with pedals but hasn’t while I’ve owned it. The rest
of the interior is new car clean and all the controls/gadgets work as they
should. The retractable cargo cover works and is in good shape except for some cosmetic
peeling of the pigmented coating that covers a non-moving part of it. The
factory CD/Tape/radio is installed (has never been out as far as I know) and
everything associated with it works except the CD play head is slightly out of
alignment causing one stereo channel to playback quietly relative to the other.
The antenna raises and lowers as it should. The engine runs great and transmission
shifts smoothly (many do not, I've heard). This car has been adult owned and
driven, and has received regular maintenance since new. I have maintenance
records back to year 2000. All maintenance was performed by the dealer that
sold the car new until 2008 (Toyota of Cerritos, CA). All the maintenance I’ve
done since then has been by either a local San Diego Toyota dealership or a
long-time trusted mechanic who owns an established local repair shop. All
rubber hoses and tubing replaced in 2010. Battery is about a year old. New
tires around 10k miles ago. This car is reliable and tight. No rattles at all. No
leaks. Drives and sounds like a new car but better because you seldom see
another one on the road and it gets more compliments than any new car I’ve ever
owned. I found this car in a small dealership near Los Angeles in 2008 after
the original owner traded it in on a new Toyota from the dealer that sold him
the Supra in 1992 (mileage was about 72,000). The dealer wholesaled it to Ray’s
auto where I found it. I contacted the original owner and he told me the car’s
history. The dealership that originally sold the car gave me a computer printout
of the maintenance performed but their history only went back to year 2000.

Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
Post-earthquake, Toyota prepares to reopen some plants in Japan
Wed, Apr 20 2016Toyota will restart vehicle production at most of its closed factories in Japan next week, but the factories that build the Mirai and many Lexus models will remain closed through at least April 28 and possibly longer. The earthquakes around the city of Kumamoto on the island of Kyushu forced the automaker to stop most of its assembly throughout the country due to a lack of parts supply. Toyota will reopen the plants in phases from April 25 to 28. However, the Motomachi factory with its LFA works, which makes the Mirai, and the Miyata factory will remain closed. These sites also build the Lexus NX, RX, ES, GS, and CT, according to Toyota. The automaker didn't say when production would begin again or how this would affect vehicle supply. "In the update, we received this morning from TMC, they said that at this stage it is too soon to tell what the impact on production will be, so we can't say yet whether there might be vehicle shortages in the US," spokesperson Aaron Fowles told Autoblog. While the quakes were focused on Kyushu, they damaged Aisin Seiki factories, which supplied parts to Toyota plants across the country. The automaker worked with its partner to import the necessary components from China and Mexico, and Aisin started moving molds from the damaged plants to operational ones in Japan, which gets production under way sooner. Automotive News Europe estimates the week of lost production cuts total assembly by 90,000 vehicles. It could cost Toyota the equivalent of $458.2 million to $641.5 million. The company could make up some of the losses through overtime. Toyota says these plans are subject to change because on ongoing tremors in the region, which could cause more damage. Reuters reported there was a magnitude 5.5 aftershock in the Kumamoto area on April 19. So far, the quakes have killed at least 47 people and around 100,000 people have moved to evacuation centers. Toyota to Restart Production on Vehicle Assembly Lines in Japan from April 25 Apr. 20, 2016 Toyota City, Japan, April 20, 2016-Between April 25 and 28, Toyota will restart production on most of its vehicle assembly lines in Japan. On April 17, Toyota announced that, due to parts shortages resulting from the severe earthquakes that struck Japan's island of Kyushu last week, production would be suspended on almost all of its vehicle assembly lines in stages between April 18 and 23.
Toyota sells 3-millionth Prius
Sun, 07 Jul 2013Three generations in sixteen years and more than three million units sold worldwide - as of the end of June, those are the stats on the Toyota Prius. Even though Toyota says Prius sales might not reach the goal of 250,000 units this year, the little hybrid that could still doesn't have any problem flying off dealer lots. The second-generation Prius sold 1.2 million examples in its eight-year lifespan, and the third generation, introduced in 2009, has sold 1.7 million examples in just four years.
Toyota is also touting its investment in future powertrains, some 790 billion yen ($7.9 billion US) on research and development into new platforms and components, and "environmental technology development."
The press release below has more details, the future undoubtedly has more Priuses Prii in it.
