Incredibly Clean '89 Supra Sport Turbo With 5spd And Only 48k Original Miles!!! on 2040-cars
Chandler, Arizona, United States
Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original red on gray leather manual transmission 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo with a Targa roof and the optional Sport Suspension Package. See below for a complete description of the car. I have a small private collection of sports cars from the 80's/90's and I have maxed out my storage location thus need to sell a car every time I buy one. In this case, I purchased a Buick GNX (on eBay) last week which has always been a dream car for me, but it means another car must go. The only reason I am choosing to sell the Supra is that it has the highest mileage of the cars in my collection and I have driven it the most since I have owned it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the car...in fact, it is one of the cleanest in the collection irrespective of the miles. Please review the information below and contact me at 480-227-9850 if you have any questions.
Car History: I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Louisiana. It was previously in Illinois with the original owner for most of its life. Prior to buying it, I spoke to the original owner to understand the complete history since new and was happy to learn it was always in the care of an enthusiast. The original owner informed me of an incorrect mileage entry in 2001 which showed up on the CarFax report I ran. All the information and documentation provided confirmed this was simply an error. The car has zero rust, dents, or body work, and the paint is original and is truly impressive. Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Supra Sales Brochure, Window Sticker, and what appears to be Factory Build Sheets (in Japanese). The OEM Targa removal tool, jack (never used), and three keys are included as well.
Engine: The 7M GTE 3.0L V6 Turbo engine is a true classic with good power and legendary reliability. The engine is completely stock and is rated at 232HP and 254TQ. Mated with a slick shifting 5 speed transmission, the car is a joy to drive. I have driven this car on several 300 mile trips and am amazed at how smooth the engine is. Even at 25 years old, it has plenty of power and cruises comfortable above 80mph for hours. The engine compartment is fully detailed and looks like new.
Maintenance: Since I have owned the car, I have had all four brakes and rotors replaced, new fuel filter installed, and all fluids changed. As with the previous owners, only Synthetic motor oil, Royal Purple Transmission and Differential Fluid has been used. The brake lines were replaced in 2012 as was the turbo seals and manifold gasket which had a minor leak, all with OEM parts. Everything else is original and the engine is currently in excellent running condition.
Exterior: The factory original "Super Red" paint is really amazing still with only a couple stone chips on the hood. The previous owner installed a 3M clear bra to prevent more chips. The Targa roof panel is in as new condition as are all the trim pieces. The glass is original and free of marks (except VIN etching). The wheels match the rest of the car and are in excellent shape. Tires are Toyos and have less than 2,000 miles on them. All lights and signals work perfectly.
Interior: The interior is also amazing shape and looks/feels like new. The Gray leather is a fairly rare option and looks great with the red exterior. The leather is in great condition and shows little wear. In fact, only the driver's seat exhibits wear and it is minor...limited to the bolster and a scratch on the thigh support (see pic). The dash, bezels and interior trim is perfect and all gauges and lights work as new. The car has its original factory radio cassette with slave CD unit. The system works great but the display on the head unit is dim and difficult to read.
Misc.: The car has its original A/C system which works perfectly. Heat and defrost also work without problems. The Supra is equipped with optional equipment including Anti-Lock Brakes and the Sport Package which includes the electronic modulated suspension system (TEMS). This system features a "normal and "sport" option keypad on the center console and works as new. The leather seats were also an option as was the carpeted floor mats which are still in great shape.
Auction Details: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours via PayPal. Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending. If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed. The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249. Thanks for your interest in my Supra and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R is road-going version of brand's racing technology [w/video]
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Did you know that the Yaris is Toyota's best-selling vehicle in Europe? That may help explain to us Americans why the car that's lowest on the company's totem poll here in the US got turned into an all-wheel-drive hybrid track monster for the 2013 Frankfurt Monster Show.
Called the Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R, this three-door pocket rocket isn't just a hybrid making a lot of horsepower - it incorporates technology from Toyota's TS030 Hybrid racecar that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship series, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Yaris Hybrid-R packs a 300-horsepower, turbocharged, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine under its hood, which should be enough for most speed freaks, but Toyota pairs it with two 60-hp electric motors at each rear wheel (the same ones used in the production Yaris Hybrid that's sold in Europe). That makes total system output an insane-for-this-size 420 hybrid horsies.
But that's not all, as the Yaris Hybrid-R forgoes the traditional battery pack below the rear seats in favor of a supercapacitor, which can both hold more energy and has a much faster power charge/discharge speed than traditional batteries. Paired with the supercapacitor is a third 60-hp electric motor/generator positioned between the engine and six-speed sequential transmission. Its job is to feed the super capacitor energy during deceleration and direct its power to the rear electric motors when more grip and oomph is needed.
2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?
Sun, 24 Nov 2013With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
