1993 Toyota Mr2 on 2040-cars
Elkhorn, Wisconsin, United States
|
I bought this car from my cousin a little over a year and a half ago, he bought it off the showroom floor brand new, in 1993. His wife died of cancer and the car was stored since then in his garage in Ohio. My uncle faithfully started this car at least once a week to keep all systems working. I've always wanted one of these. Since owning my own restoration shop for years I decided to give it the overall mechanical treatment to make sure it was reliable. I am A.S.E and I-Car certified. Ive put 6000 miles on it driving cross country a few times. (Im 6 foot 6 and it is extremely comfortable, I also have back problems but not driving this car). When I bought it I replaced , tires, brakes, starter, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, coil, starter relay, wires, plugs, air and oil filters, and battery. Eight speaker pioneer HD cd player was installed in original factory holes with no modifications or cutting of dash or interior. I have the original cassette to be included with purchase. The factory color shines like new, I give it a once a year hand polish and carnuba wax to keep it protected. There is a scratch on the left quarter panel that only penetrates the clear coat, there is minor color peeling on bottom of front lower bumper cover, normal from high parking blocks, and minor damage around the antenna. NO RUST. any other small imperfections in the body are not worth mentioning. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10, no burns or fading or obvious wear on seats etc. The leather cover on shifter handle should be replaced. Recently the water pump went out taking the timing belt with it. I have no place to work on it in winter, but I have a mechanic that will fix it for 200 to 250 labor and The parts come as a kit on E Bay for approx. 120 dollars. I am buying a house here and I hate to part with this great car, but I need the money. If I cant sell it as is, I will wait and fix it and the price will go up to what it is really worth, at least 7500 dollars. I will sell it one of two ways. With a 1500 dollar deposit, and by adding 500 dollars to price, I will have the water pump fixed and then you can pick it up, or as is with a 1000 dollar deposit. the deposit is to remove it from listings, and is not refundable. before you take the vehicle all money must be paid, either way, it is being sold as is with no refunds. THIS CAR IS ALREADY CLASSIC AND IS VERY DESIREABLE AND HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, mid engine rear wheel drive it handles like a race car and still gets 33MPG. Buyer is responsible for transportation.

Toyota's Psy-style Waku-Doki ad inherits Japan's bizarre ad crown
Tue, 29 Jul 2014A new Japanese Toyota ad featuring crisply suited businessmen driving into the jungle only to segue into a Psy-style music-video dance-off with a gorilla and natives is the latest car commercial to go viral. Jungle Wakudoki is the newest installment in a grand tradition of bizarre ads from the island nation that are by turns hilarious, head-scratching and occasionally even frightening.
Let's face it: My people are weird.
I'm half-Japanese and take suitable pride in my Asian roots, but even I can't figure out what's been slipped into the water coolers of the country's ad agencies much of the time - or the nation at large, for that matter. From Japan's ubiquitous obsession with all things adorable (kawaii) to its offbeat sense of humor and its bizarrely perverse and violent tentacle porn, it's clear there's a lot going on in the culture, and only some of it bubbles up to the surface in its marketing efforts. Much of the strangest and most amazing ads are for non-transportation products (e.g. laundry soap, snacks, energy drinks), but the automotive space has its fair share. This latest Toyota ad had me trawling YouTube for a common theme, trying to make sense of why these spots are the way they are. Scroll down to watch the Toyota ad in question as well as a bunch of other examples of Japan's most bizarre car-related ads and see if you can't find the thread that runs between them. Is it just that something's being lost in translation? Have your say in Comments.
Toyota recalls 370k Sienna minivans, 10.5k Lexus GS models over separate issues
Thu, 22 May 2014The year of the recall continues, but this time it isn't from General Motors. Toyota is announcing two, separate recalls affecting a pair of its models.
First, Toyota is recalling 370,000 Sienna minivans from the 2004 to 2011 model years that are registered or originally sold in cold-weather states. The problem is that the spare tire carrier assembly cable can be splashed by water contaminated with road salt and cause corrosion. There is a splashguard in place to prevent this, but it sometimes gets lost in "normal usage," according to the company. If the cable does break, then "the spare tire may separate from the vehicle."
This is actually the second repair for this problem for some of these vehicles. In 2010, Toyota issued a recall on 600,000 Siennas from the 1998 to 2010 model years. At the time, it installed a new splashguard and sprayed the area with an anti-rust chemical. However, according to Toyota spokesperson John Hanson speaking to Autoblog, the campaign worked for the 1998 to 2003 models but wasn't sufficient for the newer ones. For the latest recall, the vehicles are getting the entire cable replaced with a stainless steel unit and a new splashguard.
Toyota Yaris Hybrid-R zips in on its way to Frankfurt
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Toyota has been known to make some exciting cars over the years, but its hybrids, well... let's just say a Prius appeals to a different kind of buyer. The TS030 Hybrid LMP1, on the other hand, now that's more our speed. And at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week, the Japanese industrial giant will bridge the gap with the concept car you see here. Previewed in bits and pieces along the way, Toyota has now revealed the full details and array of photos of its new Yaris Hybrid-R concept. And what the full picture reveals is a Prius C that's gone to the gym - or more appropriately, the track.
Powering this little pocket rocket is TMG's Global Racing Engine: a 1.6-liter inline-four with direct injection and a Garett turbocharger to drive 300 horsepower to the front wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox. A pair of electric motors provide an extra 60 hp to each of the rear wheels for a combined output of 420 hp and through-the-road all-wheel drive. A third 60hp electric motor serves as traction control under acceleration and acts as a generator under braking to feed the TS030-derived super capacitor that boasts a higher power density and faster charge/discharge speed than a traditional battery. The system can provide a 40-horse boost for ten seconds in Road mode, or the full 120hp for five seconds in Track mode.
Though based on the three-door Yaris, there'd be no mistaking this for any ordinary econo-hatch. 18-inch TRD alloys with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires pack the wheel wells and a wider grille dominates the front fascia, while black and blue trim contrast sharply with the white bodywork. The rear pillar incorporates a quick-fill competition-spec fuel cap, LED daytime running lights illuminate the way and oversized brakes keep it all under control. The interior boasts Recaro racing buckets in black leather and blue Alcantara. There's more to digest in the press release below, but the bottom line is that if this is where Toyota is taking its hybrids, we want to climb into the driver's seat, and we're looking forward to seeing the concept in the flesh next week.
