I'm a dealer of classic and collectible cars, and I also import Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Land Cruisers. I ran across this '88 Celica and could not resist buying it and importing it into the US. This is a one-owner car with low miles (111,420 KM's or 69,233 Miles). It is in excellent condition, as you can see in the complete set of photos. Everything works except the cruise control, which engages but does not hold the set speed. The power top operates properly, all 4 power windows work, and even the radio works (although it is Japanese band so it only receives a small range of US frequencies). This car has been mechanically inspected, and is ready to be licensed and driven. The only flaws on the body are two small dimples on the passenger side front fender and a small dent under the passenger side rear tail light. Both of these defects are clearly visible in the photos. Also there is a defect in the center of the dash, perhaps where a GPS unit was mounted. Overall, this Celica is in excellent condition. I couldn't find a spec of rust on the entire vehicle. I can't be sure it's the original paint, but it appears to be. The only things I've done to the car are replacing the battery, checking the fluids, inspecting the mechanicals, and a thorough detailing.

This Celica was imported in July 2013. It comes with copies of all the import paperwork including the EPA and DOT import declarations and a copy of the Japanese Export Certificate. This car has a clean Missouri title and can be registered in all 50-states. The correct VIN is ST1627212811 which is non-standard for a newer vehicle in the USA, but correct for a JDM spec vehicle.

The engine is an inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve, 2.0L gas model with electronic fuel injection. The original JDM battery was bad when it arrived so I purchased and installed a new Yellow-Top Optima battery. The car starts easily and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly and is easy to drive. It is right-hand-drive, but this is very easy to get used to after a few minutes of driving. It's only an inconvenience at a drive-through or ATM machine, lol.

Included is the original spare tire, and the original Toyota toolkit. The toolkit is very cool and includes several tools with the Toyota name on them.

Lexus, Mazda win KBB 5-Year Cost To Own Awards
Wed, 05 Feb 2014We focus a lot on what new cars are like to drive, but it's difficult on a one-week loan to really get a sense of what a car is like to live with. Sure, we try to recreate that sense with our long-term vehicles, but even after a year, it's impossible to know fully learn about a car, particularly in terms of reliability and cost of repairs. For 2014 model year vehicles, Kelley Blue Book has put together a list of the most affordable vehicles over a five-year period.
At the tippy top of the list are Mazda and Lexus, with the Zoom-Zoom automaker winning the award for best non-luxury brand. Lexus, meanwhile, was the most affordable luxury marque over a five-year period. It's interesting to note, though, that not a single Mazda won its segment in this year's awards.
General Motors did quite well, taking eight segments, including both the subcompact and plug-in segments, with the gas-powered Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV. The Chevy Camaro SS and ZL1 took the high-performance car award. Toyota was well represented, with five winners split between the main brand (Corolla, Prius C and Tacoma) and Lexus (LS and RX).
Toyota, Kaley Cuoco grant wishes in Super Bowl XLVII ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013For viewers who plan on watching the Super Bowl only for the commercials, here's one for you to enjoy ahead of time. As we saw in the teaser video that Toyota released last week, will be making the transition from Big Bang to The Big Game as a wish-granting genie in a commercial for the 2013 Toyota RAV4.
Though not as entertaining as the actual teaser for this commercial, it still garnered a couple chuckles from the Autoblog crew. We won't spoil it for you, but a word of advice: if Cuoco ever shows up in your driveway granting you wishes, we'd suggest you be very clear what you want... and enunciate.
If you want to see the commercial before this Sunday's game, we have the video (and an accompanying press release) posted after the jump.
Production Toyota C-HR to debut in Geneva, has hybrid engine
Fri, Feb 12 2016Toyota now officially confirms earlier reports that the C-HR crossover concept (above) will debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March. The CUV will also be available a European-made hybrid powertrain, but the company won't yet say whether that will be the only engine option. "We are entering the C-segment crossover market with a fantastic product and with a hybrid powertrain from the start," Johan van Zyl, Toyota Motor Europe president and CEO, said. At least for Europe, the company will build the production C-HR at its factory in Turkey. The automaker originally planned the C-HR for the US as a Scion model and even displayed the concept that way at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. However, the brand's demise means the crossover now gets to be a full Toyota product here. The five-door CUV rides on the Toyota New Global Architecture, but test vehicles keep the production version's styling hidden under heavy camouflage. The final vehicle reportedly looks like the concept, though. On this side of the pond, the C-HR will compete against compact crossovers like the Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade.

The vehicle will be built at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Turkey (TMMT) in Sakarya, Turkey, in what marks the first time a hybrid-powered vehicle will be produced in the country. This will be TME's third plant to produce hybrid vehicles in the Europe region, after Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK in Burnaston, Derbyshire (Auris Hybrid and Auris Touring Sport Hybrid) and Toyota Motor Manufacturing France (Yaris Hybrid). TME also announced that the hybrid engine for the crossover is to be produced at Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK's engine plant in Deeside, Wales. The production destination for the vehicles will be greater Europe and regions outside Europe. Individual export countries are being considered at this time.
