Original Owner Best Color Combination on 2040-cars
Huntington Beach, California, United States
DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS AND INTEND TO PURCHASE. This is not a fire sale it was difficult for the owner to make the decision to sell her car. Her husband, one of my very best friends, passed away a few months ago and she is selling the MR2 because their SUV is currently more practical. So please don't play games. If you want a "buy it now" email me with a phone number.
I am listing this car for the original owner, a very close family friend. The car was purchased new by her and has been well cared for as the photos will indicate. As noted in the "defects area the only item on this car requiring attention is the front facia which has the usual damage inflicted by years of driving. We considered repainting the front facia prior to selling (cost of $350) but then the question of damage or an accident could be asked. So take a look at the photos, repainting the facia will bring the cars finish to a very nice level. This car has never been in an accident and drives straight and stops true. The motor and drive train has been well maintained with regular service and only minor maintenance items needed during its life such as a MAP sensor and Oxygen sensor replacement. The water pump was replaced as well as the usual belts, brake pads and service items. The car retains its original clutch and shifts as it should. I do not know the life of a clutch in an MR2 but there is no slippage or chatter indicating a need for service. New rear tires were installed at 116,877 miles and front tires have about 60% wear remaining. A new top was installed in May of 2012 at a cost of $1620.00. The fit is perfect. The interior is in excellent condition with no dash cracks, no fading and just the normal wear on the seats with no tears. The car was always garage kept and is owned by a non-smoker. Everything on the car works as it should. There are no defects, rock chips in the windshield or door glass While there are some tiny marks on the wheels there is no "curb rash" where the wheels have been ground against a curb. If you are looking for a very clean and desirable ONE OWNER MR2 requiring very little effort to make it a near perfect example this is the car for you. The car shows like one with half the miles. You will not be disappointed. I invite and recommend a personal inspection. The car is located in Mission Viejo, California. While I have endeavored to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible I once again recommend a personal inspection and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. Please do not bid on this car unless you have the ability to complete the transaction. By bidding you are committed to purchase if you are the winning bidder and you should consider this a binding contract. There is no warranty expressed or implied. This vehicle is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. |

Toyota Recalling Millions Of Cars Over Multiple Concerns
Wed, Apr 9 2014Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling nearly 1.8 million vehicles in the U.S. for various safety problems, including air bags that may fail to deploy. The Japanese automaker announced the U.S. recall Wednesday as part of a broader recall of 6.39 million vehicles - and 27 Toyota models - globally. In the U.S., the recall includes: - 1.3 million vehicles with faulty electrical connections that could cause the air bags to deactivate. Included are the 2009-2010 Corolla, 2009-2010 Matrix, 2008-2010 Highlander, 2009-2010 Tacoma, 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe. If the air bags deactivate, they could fail to deploy after a crash. - 472,500 small cars with defective springs in the front seat rails, which could prevent the seats from locking in place. Included are the 2006-2010 Yaris hatchback, 2007-2010 Yaris sedan and the 2008-2010 Scion XD. Toyota said it is currently working on remedies for the problems. Dealers will replace the defective parts for free when replacement parts are available. The Pontiac Vibe, which is made by General Motors Co., is included in the recall because Toyota designed and engineered it for GM when the two companies shared a factory in California. GM says 40,500 Vibes will be recalled, and says GM dealers will make repairs when Toyota sends them the parts. The air bag issue is unrelated to a separate GM recall of 2.6 million vehicles for an ignition switch defect that can also deactivate the air bags. The Vibe isn't included in that recall. Toyota said no injuries or crashes have been reported related to the recalls. By region, the recall affects 2.3 million vehicles in North America, 1.09 million vehicles in Japan and 810,000 vehicles in Europe. Other regions affected by the recall include Africa, South America and the Middle East. The recall is one of Toyota's largest since 2009 and 2010, when the company issued a series of recalls totaling more than 10 million vehicles for various problems including faulty brakes, sticky gas pedals and ill-fitting floor mats. Toyota is under pressure to announce recalls quickly after a U.S. government investigation found it hid information about past defects. Last month, the company agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle that investigation. It also paid fines totaling $66 million to the U.S. government for delays in reporting unintended acceleration problems.
Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell Mirai isn't good enough to be a Lexus
Thu, Nov 17 2016It looks like the first hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle from Lexus will be faster than previously advertised, but it will get to the market slower than expected. It's all part of the paradox involved with Toyota looking to broaden its fuel-cell technology beyond the Mirai. Either way, the first Lexus fuel-cell vehicle is slated to start sales by the end of the decade, said Auto Express, citing comments from Alain Uyttenhoven, head of Lexus Europe. Uyttenhoven noted that it'd take an SUV to provide enough space to accommodate the packaging for the Lexus fuel cell powertrain. That comment may imply that the hydrogen-fueled powertrain from Lexus will offer similar performance to that of the Lexus RX450h hybrid SUV. That model delivers 300 horsepower and boasts a 0 to 60 mile-per-hour time of about seven seconds. Such a mill would be a departure from what we'd previously reported on Toyota's plans to expand its fuel-cell technology to its Lexus luxury badge. With Toyota believed to be planning to unveil as many as three fuel-cell models in time for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, the Japanese automaker said early last year that it may have a Lexus fuel-cell vehicle available as soon as 2017, while reports suggesting the model would be a Lexus LS-based sedan. Additionally, the Mirai's fuel-cell powertrain had been believed to be the platform for the proposed Lexus fuel cell from the moment that model started sales in California last year. Apparently, though, the Mirai's 152-horsepower powertrain, coupled with a full-tank range that would be about 20 percent less than the 300-mile Mirai, isn't up to snuff for Lexus duty.

Shuttle-hauling Tundra finds permanent home in science exhibit
Mon, 03 Jun 2013The idea of lifting a full-size pickup truck completely off the ground by hand might seem as likely as, say, said pickup truck towing a 150,000-pound space shuttle, but... hurray, physics! The same Toyota Tundra that towed the Space Shuttle Endeavour to its final resting place at the California Science Center is now on permanent display there as an exhibit that shows how a lever works.
Like all levers, this exhibit uses a fulcrum allowing people other than Superman to lift the 5,625-pound pickup (plus an extra 1,000 pounds for the rig). That's almost as impressive as the Tundra pulling 17 times its rated towing capacity back in October. Regardless, Toyota is once again cashing in on the publicity stunt and visitors to the science center get a live demonstration of a simple machine - we call that a win-win.
