1992, All Original, Supra With Turbo, Leather, Removable Top, And Only 92,000 Mi on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
Rare, completely
original 1992 Toyota Supra MKIII, with turbo, automatic transmission, 92,000 miles,
leather, and removable roof panel. This car has all options. The last year of
this body style, the ’92 is the most sophisticated design and best of its run
(according to car magazine reviews of the day). Teal blue paint is original and
in excellent shape considering its 22 years in the So Cal sunshine. There is a
barely noticeable ding or two in the door panel from a car door opening into it
in a parking lot. And a barely noticeable abrasion mark about 6 inches long on
the right front bumper that can probably be buffed out. The paint is also
beginning to show signs of oxidation here and there in the clear-coat (that can
also probably be buffed out). The
oxidation can be seen mainly on the roof panel and rear bumper/spoiler area. The
black trim around the rear lift-back glass and black paint on wiper arms shows
some sun damage (see pics). Interior is very good (dash is perfect, no splits)
but passenger seat (now covered) recently developed a crack and split open in
the seat area. The previous owner shortened the driver floor mat, it apparently
curled up and interfered with pedals but hasn’t while I’ve owned it. The rest
of the interior is new car clean and all the controls/gadgets work as they
should. The retractable cargo cover works and is in good shape except for some cosmetic
peeling of the pigmented coating that covers a non-moving part of it. The
factory CD/Tape/radio is installed (has never been out as far as I know) and
everything associated with it works except the CD play head is slightly out of
alignment causing one stereo channel to playback quietly relative to the other.
The antenna raises and lowers as it should. The engine runs great and transmission
shifts smoothly (many do not, I've heard). This car has been adult owned and
driven, and has received regular maintenance since new. I have maintenance
records back to year 2000. All maintenance was performed by the dealer that
sold the car new until 2008 (Toyota of Cerritos, CA). All the maintenance I’ve
done since then has been by either a local San Diego Toyota dealership or a
long-time trusted mechanic who owns an established local repair shop. All
rubber hoses and tubing replaced in 2010. Battery is about a year old. New
tires around 10k miles ago. This car is reliable and tight. No rattles at all. No
leaks. Drives and sounds like a new car but better because you seldom see
another one on the road and it gets more compliments than any new car I’ve ever
owned. I found this car in a small dealership near Los Angeles in 2008 after
the original owner traded it in on a new Toyota from the dealer that sold him
the Supra in 1992 (mileage was about 72,000). The dealer wholesaled it to Ray’s
auto where I found it. I contacted the original owner and he told me the car’s
history. The dealership that originally sold the car gave me a computer printout
of the maintenance performed but their history only went back to year 2000.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
Next Lotus Elise to draw from its roots
Wed, Jul 27 2016Recently-appointed Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales told Autocar that work on the new Lotus Elise, which is coming in 2020, is already underway, and thanks to growing sales, the automaker is set to make a profit for the first time in 20 years. Gales also dropped some details about the new sports cars' design philosophy and underpinnings. According to the report, the new Elise will utilize the same aluminum chassis technology found in the original Elise and won't bear any resemblance to the 2010 Elise concept. Instead, the upcoming vehicle will uphold its roots with a lightweight design that emphasizes driver involvement at an affordable price. The new Elise is rumored to weigh in at roughly 1,984 pounds, almost 384 pounds more than the original Elise. In order to meet US crash ratings, the Elise will most likely be wider, but have the same length as the current model. Power will probably come from a Toyota unit producing between 134 horsepower and 245 horsepower. The Elise is expected to come to the US where it will be offered with a manual and automatic transmission, which will both come from Toyota as well. Gales claims Lotus has more orders now than in any year in the last 10 years, with the US being one of the automaker's most important markets. Related Video:
Toyota settles first wrongful death suit related to unintended acceleration
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Toyota's sales seem to have rebounded from the unintended acceleration issues from 2009 and 2010, but the automaker is far from done dealing with this situation. Following a settlement worth up to $1.4 billion for economic loss to affected vehicle owners, Toyota has settled rather than going to trial in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from an accident in Utah in 2010 that left two passengers dead. This isn't the first case in which Toyota has settled, but it was the first among a consolidated group of cases being held in Santa Ana, CA.
According to The Detroit News, this case was scheduled to take place next month, and it was for a November 2010 incident in which Paul Van Alfen and Charlene James Lloyd were killed in a Camry when, based on findings by the Utah Highway Patrol, the accelerator got stuck causing the car to speed out of control and hit a wall; the terms of the settlement were not announced.
The article says that while Toyota will settle on some cases, it doesn't plan on settling on all of them as it still wants to be able to "defend [its] product at trial." This will probably be the case in suits claiming that software for the drive-by-wire accelerator was the cause of an accident in a Toyota or Lexus vehicle. The question of whether or not the electronic accelerator played any role in this problem has been a hot-button topic since the beginning. Toyota has issued recalls in the past to attempt to prevent unintended acceleration caused by trapped floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but it also says driver error was to blame in some instances.
