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! |

Nearly 700,000 Toyotas and Lexuses named in fuel pump recall
Tue, Jan 14 2020In an announcement posted to its corporate press room, Toyota made known a voluntary safety recall on select 2018 and 2019 Toyota and Lexus models. The recall includes roughly 696,000 vehicles and deals with a fuel pump that might stop working. An internal investigation into the issue is under way. Affected rides include the Toyota 4Runner, Camry, Highlander, Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Avalon, Corolla, and Tundra, as well as the Lexus LS 500, LC 500, RC 350, RC 300, GS 350, IS 300, ES 350, LX 570, GX 460, RX 350 NX 300, RX 350L, and GS 300. The Avalon, Corolla, NX 300, RX 350L, and GS 300 are restricted to 2019 model years, while the others are 2018 and 2019 model years. The potential danger in this issue is pretty obvious. Should the fuel pump stop, the vehicles could sputter, stall, and come to a stop, likely without the ability to restart the cars. Toyota notes warning lights and messages would display should this occur, but by then, it'd be too late. Although Toyota made the announcement this week, the investigation is not yet complete, and therefore, a fix has not yet been specified. The resolution, when determined, will come free of charge to affected customers. Toyota plans to send out notifications for affected vehicles in mid-March.Â
US expands probe into ZF-TRW airbag failure-to-deploy to 12.3 million vehicles
Tue, Apr 23 2019DETROIT — U.S. auto safety regulators have expanded an investigation into malfunctioning airbag controls to include 12.3 million vehicles because the bags may not inflate in a crash. The problem could be responsible for as many as eight deaths. Vehicles made by Toyota, Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Mitsubishi and Fiat Chrysler from the 2010 through 2019 model years are included in the probe, which was revealed Tuesday in documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It involves airbag control units made by ZF-TRW that were installed in the vehicles. The control units can fail in a crash, possibly because of unwanted electrical signals produced by the crash itself that can disable an air bag control circuit housed in the passenger compartment, according to NHTSA documents. The electrical signals can damage the control circuit, the documents say. ZF, a German auto parts maker which acquired TRW Automotive in 2015, said in a statement that it's committed to safety and is cooperating with NHTSA and automakers in the investigation. The case is another in a long list of problems with auto industry airbags, including faulty and potentially deadly Takata airbag inflators. At least 24 people have been killed worldwide and more than 200 injured by the inflators, which can explode with too much force and hurl dangerous shrapnel into the passenger cabin. The inflators touched off the largest series of automotive recalls in U.S. history involving with as many as 70 million inflators to be recalled by the end of next year. About 100 million inflators are to be recalled worldwide. On April 19, NHTSA upgraded the ZF-TRW probe from a preliminary evaluation to an engineering analysis, which is a step closer toward seeking recalls. So far, only Hyundai and Kia and Fiat Chrysler have issued recalls in the case. Four deaths that may have been caused by the problem were reported in Hyundai-Kia vehicles and three in Fiat Chrysler automobiles. NHTSA opened an investigation in March of 2017 involving the TRW parts in Hyundais and Kias. The upgrade came after investigators found two recent serious crashes involving 2018 and 2019 Toyota Corollas in which the airbags did not inflate. One person was killed. Jason Levine, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety, a nonprofit consumer group, said the ZF-TRW case shows the auto industry thus far has learned very little from Takata.
Toyota donates engineers, not money, to country's largest anti-hunger charity
Thu, 01 Aug 2013Key to production of any kind is efficiency - the ability to achieve maximum productivity with minimal effort or waste. Toyota has become a master of efficiency, with streamlined manufacturing operations around the world. In fact, the Japanese brand has become so well known for efficient operations that it now offers consulting services for organizations and companies outside the auto industry.
It also offers the same consulting for non-profits, free of charge. The New York Times took an in-depth look at the transformative impact that Toyota's engineers had on the city's charities, including The Food Bank, the country's largest anti-hunger charity. The auto manufacturer helped revolutionize the way these organizations served the community, showing that there's more to corporate philanthropy than just donating money.
