Here is a rare and collectible 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa with 110,200 miles, extremely low for a 21 year old car. The 92 Supra is by far the rarest MK3 Supra as only a little over 1000 were sold in the US. The 92 was the ONLY year the color Teal was offered and the ONLY year which the shadow gray leather seats were offered. It is also rare to find a 92 with Targa top as most 92s had either hard top or a sunroof. This car is almost completely stock, even the factory radio and factory exhaust which is very quiet.
I have only owned this about 6 months, bought it with the intentions of keeping it, but poor health has made me lose interest. In the 6 months I have owned it , I have only driven it a total of about 100 miles. I would STRONGLY suggest it be trailered or shipped as it has not been driven on long enough trips to be proven.
It has some positives and some negatives. As for positives, the previous owner spent almost $6000 on repairs and I will furnish his paperwork. These repairs include a rebuilt head, rebuilt turbo, new head gasket, and some front end work, all in the last 1500 miles. The engine sounds great, very smooth, no smoke , no knocks. The automatic transmission shifts properly and I noticed the cruise works. I believe all lights work and all glass is good, no cracks. The paint appears to be original with only some light touch ups on small dings. The trim around the windshield and rear glass is much better than most MK3 Supras. The interior is the best of the shadow gray leather I have seen. ( I have owned and parted out MK3 Supras for several years) The dash is mint, steering wheel is good, door panels are good, rear carpet is good, hatch cover is very good, rear seats are amazing, first original leather Supra rear seats I have seen which are not cracked on top. The tail lights have no cracks, as this is hard to find. It also has a new battery.
For the negatives, there is a sound ,a sort of rubbing / grinding sound, I believe is in the right front wheel, could be in the wheel itself, could be a wheel bearing, or it could simply need aligned, I don't know, and I have not felt like messing with it. The brakes seem soft and may need some attention. The heater works fine, but the Air Conditioning does not, all components appear to be there, it may just need charged. This is a 21 year old car and it has its share of parking lot dings and scratches. There is also a dent on the passenger rear quarter as can be seen in pics and the rear bumper and rear spoiler each have a bump. I noticed one spot on the drivers door where there is some rust bubbling. This car will come with a full size spare of the same 5 spoke 92 aluminum wheel, the original targa tool kit, the original 92 Supra owners manual in the original pouch from the dealer where it was bought new. I will assist in shipping by taking it to a shipping transfer point for a nominal fee. I will accept deposit by Pay Pal ONLY, the remainder will have to be in cash or a certified check if it is to be shipped . This is a very low reserve auction , please bid to win. I can take pictures of any other areas you may want to see if you ask for them. If you have less than a feedback of 10 please email me and convince me you are real and serious or your bid will be canceled. Thanks for looking.

Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.
YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.
Toyota gives dealers permission to drop Scion, shows them FR-S droptop, Juke rival first
Mon, 19 Aug 2013We recently heard that Toyota could be looking to shrink its network of Scion dealerships, and now Automotive News is reporting that the automaker has officially given its dealers the green light to dump Scion without any penalties. Currently, Scion has about 1,000 dealers, yet our report from August 8 quotes an industry analyst as suggesting a healthier figure would be between 350 and 500 outlets. But before its current dealers make a decision on whether or not to get rid of the youth-oriented brand, Toyota also showed off a couple potential future products in the pipeline.
The FT-86 Open Concept shown above was revealed back in March at the Geneva Motor Show, and AN says that an FR-S convertible was driven on stage at a recent national Toyota dealer meeting in Atlanta. There has still been no definitive word one way or another as to whether the droptop model will be built, but it could be a good way to follow up to the popular FR-S coupe. Another possible future product is a subcompact crossover, which was shown in drawing form at the meeting, presumably aimed at small CUVs like the Nissan Juke and the upcoming Honda CUV based on the Fit, a model recently previewed by the automaker's Urban SUV concept.
