1989 Toyota Mr2 63,150 Original Miles Verified By Carfax Stored For 10+ Years on 2040-cars
Jensen Beach, Florida, United States
If you’ve been looking for a low mileage, early
MR2, this is a great choice.
About as close to a "barn-find" as you can get. Drive and enjoy it as-is, or put a little more effort in and make it a show winning original! Starts and runs like new. Everything works perfectly. There
have been no aftermarket modifications or alterations (it still has the original steel wheels and am/fm radio). 63,141 miles. This car is in very good condition throughout for a 25 year old, mostly original, survivor car.Leased new in Miami, Florida 10/26/1989 it was garage kept from 1989 to 2004. In 1994 it had 44,334 miles when the original owner moved to Fort Pierce, Florida. He drove the car another 18,000+ miles until the air-conditioning stopped working in 2004. He bought a new car and parked this MR2 in the drive way with a cover over it for the next 10 years. (Unfortunately the original paint never stood a chance of being protected from the Florida sun under the cover.) It still has the tires on it from 2003 (that he never rotated) about 1/3 worn in the front and on the wear bars in the rear. They show signs of age cracking and are ready for replacement. The car was purchased from the original owner 02/2013 by his neighbor, put back in running order and than sold 2 months later (04/2013) to the gentleman I purchased it from. The gentleman I purchased it from prepared the car as a graduation present for his grandson that was moving to Florida. From 04/2013 to 07/2013 the car had a complete new Air-conditioning system installed, a new alternator, new clutch slave cylinder, new battery, new belts & hoses, complete tune up and maintenance service completed and more. He registered the car in July 2013 awaiting his grandson's arrival, but the lad changed his mind and was a no-show. I purchased the car recently with the intentions of preparing it to do some SCCA racing with my son, but after realizing how original and rare it is, did not have the heart to take it apart. I bought a e30 BMW instead and now have too many cars in the driveway. (And I need the money to put into the e30). Exterior finish is a $600 Maaco quality black paint job. It is glossy paint with no faded or worn areas. There are a few dings and dents that were painted over, so it is clear that the car is not a bondo covered rust bucket. There is No Rust anywhere on the vehicle. The original Grey paint is still there in the inside of the doors, the door jams, under the bonnet, hood, truck, etc. and any where the outside paint job did not cover. The grey is very dark, so this is not noticeable, however it does give the option of easily putting the car back to it's original Grey color. Interior is near mint, but shift boot is worn and there is the kind of wear associated with a 63,000 mile Toyota. There are no mechanical issues. Runs flawlessly, Pulls strong, Clutch engages smoothly, Shifts solidly and firmly, No transmission issues. No fluid leaks.Very Cold A/C. The exhaust system is original, so the muffler does need replacement and the car is a bit loud (see videos). Car
is sold where is and as is. Winning bidder is required to provide $1000 deposit
via cash, cashier's check, money order, or bank wire transfer within 48 hours of auction close and full balance within 7 days of auction
close. If you want to come to Jensen Beach and do some fishing before buying a set of tires and driving back I can point you to some good fishing guides. Being the off season, the fish camps have some good deals going. If you want to fly in, the nearest airport is in West Palm Beach, or 3 hours away is Orlando if you would rather visit Mickey Mouse instead of Tiger Woods or Donald Trump. If you want me to hold the car a week or so while you arrange shipping, that is okay too, but if you need to store it a month or longer I will take it to a local storage facility for you to pay rent at. I am about 30 miles from Fort Pierce, a major Florida Shipping hub, so getting transportation is easy. Clean Florida title and bill-of-sale will be provided
upon receipt and confirmation of all purchase funds. I have the car for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. I welcome and encourage personal inspections, test drives, and having the car checked by a mechanic. Call or text me at 305-283-8602 with any questions. Clean and clear Florida Title, and Superior CarFax! Happy bidding! |

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.
November U.S. new car sales mixed as automakers deepen discounts
Fri, Dec 1 2017DETROIT — Major automakers posted mixed U.S. November new vehicle sales on Friday and predicted a competitive December as they rushed to sell vehicles and boost their numbers before 2017 ends. Automakers are trying to sell down 2017 model-year vehicles, offering high discounts to consumers as the year-end nears. In 2016, the industry reported record annual sales of 17.55 million units. According to consultancies J.D. Power and LMC, discounts have been above 10 percent of the average transaction price for 16 of the past 17 months, a level experts say is unhealthy and unsustainable. The November sales results come as the National Automobile Dealers Association said on Friday it expects new vehicle sales to decline to 16.7 million units in 2018, after dropping to 17.1 million for the full year in 2017. If that forecast comes true, the race to move new vehicles off dealers' lots will only intensify next year. Brandon Mason, a director at PwC's automotive practice, said a worrying trend for the industry was a rising number of subprime loans. He said subprime levels are at just over 20 percent of originations, against more than 30 percent prior to the Great Recession, but recent increases remain a concern. "That's a bit of a red flag," Mason said. "It's something to keep an eye on as we move into 2018." November results by automaker: General Motors: Sales fell 2.9 percent, with sales to consumers flat against the same month in 2016. Much of the decrease was driven by lower fleet sales. GM said strong SUV and crossover sales pushed its average transaction price for the month above $37,000 for the first time. The level of unsold cars, which has been a concern for analysts and the industry, rose slightly to 83 days' supply, from 80 days at the end of October. "More vehicles are sold in December than any other month, and we are very well positioned because we have momentum in so many segments, but especially in crossovers," said Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president of sales operations. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: Fleet sales are low-margin, and FCA in particular has targeted a significant reduction in this type of sale in 2017. It posted a 4 percent overall decrease in sales for November, but fleet sales were down 25 percent while sales to consumers were up 2 percent on the year. Ford: The No. 2 U.S. automaker reported a 6.7 percent increase for the month, with fleet sales up nearly 26 percent and retail sales 1.3 percent higher than in November 2016.
Australia may offer money to keep Toyota making cars there
Tue, 04 Jun 2013In the wake of last month's announcement that Ford will cease automotive and engine production in Australia after 2016, many are wondering what the country's other automakers will do. Holden has already confirmed it will stay the course despite Ford's exit.
Much of the GM subsidiary's reason for sticking around has to do with a deal made last year between Holden and the Australian government. In order to secure a GM investment of $1 billion and a commitment to keep manufacturing in Australia through 2022, the government threw in an extra $215 million. According to Australia's Minister for Innovation and Industry, Greg Combet, the government is now in talks with Toyota for a similar deal.
Toyota operates one plant in Australia, the Altona manufacturing and engine plant in Victoria. The facility produces the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Australasia-only Aurion for both the local market and export. The report from GoAuto indicates that negotiations with the Australian government would include adding production of a third, all-new model at Altona, possibly the new RAV4, because it shares many parts with the Camry.
