Clean Mk2 Celica Supra. Rebuilt Motor, Great Driver Or Restoration Project on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:208000
Location:

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

 CLEAN 1985 CELICA SUPRA FOR SALE- NO RESERVE, AUCTION STYLE LISTING!! More pics of the interior are coming, I apologize. Also, autocheck reports that it was titled in 2001 and at that time it was reported "not actual mileage." Utah is kind of funny about odometer requirements on older cars and there is no verification whatsoever done by the state on odometers. I CAN PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THIS CAR HAS 208,000 ORIGINAL MILES. The odometer works and always has, and as far as I know I got the car from the original owner.

This supra is in very good condition for the age and mileage. While it is by no means a show quality car, it is a very clean driver or base for a restoration. These are getting harder to find and only increasing in value. Great investment in a classic Japanese sports car. This car is the "P" or performance package, which had wider wheels, fatter tires, fender flares, and a few other distinguishing features.

The motor was rebuilt in 2001 (top end, head gasket, water pump, timing belt) and it was parked that year upon the death of the owner. It sat until 2014 when I went through it and got it running. The tank and injectors have been cleaned, new fuel pump installed, fuel filter, lines etc as well as a complete tuneup. It also has a new battery. It runs perfectly with no hesitation, bogging or misfiring. It sounds great and pulls strong. It has a newer exhaust all the way back. I had plans to save it from storage and restore it, but  all I have done is get it driveable. It will still need tires (they have great tread, but are old.) Probably rear shocks, and some minor work here and there but all in all it runs and drives great and is a strong reliable runner. The clutch feels strong and the transmission feels nice. It is a rewarding car to drive.

The body: The body is clean and straight. There are no missing or broken trim pieces. No dings or dents. The only noticeable flaw is the drivers front marker lens is cracked. The car has been repainted (probably in the 90s) but looks to be a fairly thorough paint job. All the doorjams etc look good and the paint still shines and feels smooth. There is some minor surface rust near the gas filler door, but none elsewhere. Undercarriage has minor surface rust as well but really nothing concerning. There is no rust on the body or undercarriage that I would consider "rot" or un-repairable.

The interior: Interior is clean and nice. Minor wear on the outer drivers side bolster and arm rest. Other than that the interior is a 9/10. Dash is un-cracked, headliner is clean, carpets are good, and nothing is missing or broken. It comes with the original carpet mats and original rubber mats. It has an aftermarket cd player that was installed in the 90s with a kenwood equalizer. It is wired for subs, and there is a kenwood amp underneath the passengers seat. The drivers seat has a small air bladder with which you can inflate different sections of the seats to suit your preference. They really are comfortable sporty feeling seats.

As far as I can tell everything works including the A/C and heat. The car is equipped with cruise control which is a somewhat rare option on 5-speed performance packages. All gauges function correctly.

Aside from the car, this is what is included:
2 factory rubber mats
2 factory carpet mats
an un-opened leather bra for the car
2 sets of keys
original owners manual
spare tire
toolkit

The car is located in Salt Lake City, UT and is also for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason. The car has a clean clear utah title and will be sold with a title and bill of sale. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ARRANGING SHIPPING. I WILL BE HAPPY TO MEET A TRANSPORT TRUCK ANYWHERE IN SALT LAKE VALLEY. THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO EXISTING OR IMPLIED WARRANTY. I HAVE TRIED TO BE HONEST AND THOROUGH IN MY DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME, AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE #. PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND READ THE WHOLE AD BEFORE BIDDING. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION, YOU OWN THE CAR. YOU ARE NOT BIDDING ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY THE CAR, YOU ARE BUYING IT. A $500 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS DUE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE. I'm not trying to scare away buyers or come across rude but I have had many flaky buyers on eBay motors. Please don't waste my time or the time of people who actually want the car.

Feel free to contact me with ANY questions you have about the car or the auction. I accept cash and cashiers check. The deposit will be paid by paypal or bank transfer. Thank you

Toyota gives a free RAV4 to 50-millionth customer [w/video]

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Not surprisingly, the 50-millionth Toyota product sold in the US was a Camry, but Toyota had a big surprise in store for Michael Dee, the buyer of said milestone vehicle. Toyota group vice president Bill Fay showed up at Dee's house to not only personally thank him for the purchase, but also completely paid off that brand new Camry, presenting the owner with a clear title.
But that wasn't all. As you can tell from the image above, Fay had one more trick up his sleeve. The group VP brought along a brand new 2013 Toyota RAV4, which was also presented to Dee in appreciation. The best part is that Dee's genuine amazement was all caught on video, which is posted below.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).

Toyota sudden acceleration class action may cover 22 million owners

Thu, 16 May 2013

A total of 22.6 million current and former Toyota owners have been sent notices that they may be eligible to receive compensation from the automaker for damages related to the unintended acceleration fiasco that has dominated headlines in 2009 and 2010. The total payout may be as high as $1.63 billion, according to The Detroit News.
Steve Berman, a lawyer for the owners, calls the potential deal "a landmark, if not a record, settlement in automobile defects class action litigation in the United States." Still, there's some debate about whether or not Toyota's proposed settlement is fair, as it includes $30 million for safety research and driver education programs - in other words, Toyota seems to be suggesting that drivers need more education on how to drive their correctly working and fully functional vehicles. For those keeping track, Toyota would also be paying lawyer fees of $200 million.
A US District Judge in California is scheduled to hold a so-called "fairness hearing" on June 14 that could decide the fate of this particular settlement. Further courtroom wrangling will be required to hash out any wrongful death suits levied against Toyota stemming from unintended acceleration claims, as those are not part of this class-action suit.
