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 makes $100M investment to boost Indiana Highlander production
Mon, 25 Aug 2014Toyota has announced that it will be making a $100 million investment in its Princeton, IN factory in a bid to increase production of its popular Highlander CUV. The move will create 300 new jobs by 2016 and increase the total number of crossovers the plant can produce by 30,000.
Toyota currently builds the Highlander, alongside the fullsize Sequoia, at Toyota Indiana's West Plant. The additional capacity, though, will be sent to the East Plant, which is currently responsible for production of the recently refreshed Sienna minivan.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno said in a statement. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated
Mon, 02 Dec 2013Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.
