Incredibly Clean '89 Supra Sport Turbo With 5spd And Only 48k Original Miles!!! on 2040-cars
Chandler, Arizona, United States
|
Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original red on gray leather manual transmission 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo with a Targa roof and the optional Sport Suspension Package. See below for a complete description of the car. I have a small private collection of sports cars from the 80's/90's and I have maxed out my storage location thus need to sell a car every time I buy one. In this case, I purchased a Buick GNX (on eBay) last week which has always been a dream car for me, but it means another car must go. The only reason I am choosing to sell the Supra is that it has the highest mileage of the cars in my collection and I have driven it the most since I have owned it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the car...in fact, it is one of the cleanest in the collection irrespective of the miles. Please review the information below and contact me at 480-227-9850 if you have any questions.
Car History: I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Louisiana. It was previously in Illinois with the original owner for most of its life. Prior to buying it, I spoke to the original owner to understand the complete history since new and was happy to learn it was always in the care of an enthusiast. The original owner informed me of an incorrect mileage entry in 2001 which showed up on the CarFax report I ran. All the information and documentation provided confirmed this was simply an error. The car has zero rust, dents, or body work, and the paint is original and is truly impressive. Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Supra Sales Brochure, Window Sticker, and what appears to be Factory Build Sheets (in Japanese). The OEM Targa removal tool, jack (never used), and three keys are included as well.
Engine: The 7M GTE 3.0L V6 Turbo engine is a true classic with good power and legendary reliability. The engine is completely stock and is rated at 232HP and 254TQ. Mated with a slick shifting 5 speed transmission, the car is a joy to drive. I have driven this car on several 300 mile trips and am amazed at how smooth the engine is. Even at 25 years old, it has plenty of power and cruises comfortable above 80mph for hours. The engine compartment is fully detailed and looks like new.
Maintenance: Since I have owned the car, I have had all four brakes and rotors replaced, new fuel filter installed, and all fluids changed. As with the previous owners, only Synthetic motor oil, Royal Purple Transmission and Differential Fluid has been used. The brake lines were replaced in 2012 as was the turbo seals and manifold gasket which had a minor leak, all with OEM parts. Everything else is original and the engine is currently in excellent running condition.
Exterior: The factory original "Super Red" paint is really amazing still with only a couple stone chips on the hood. The previous owner installed a 3M clear bra to prevent more chips. The Targa roof panel is in as new condition as are all the trim pieces. The glass is original and free of marks (except VIN etching). The wheels match the rest of the car and are in excellent shape. Tires are Toyos and have less than 2,000 miles on them. All lights and signals work perfectly.
Interior: The interior is also amazing shape and looks/feels like new. The Gray leather is a fairly rare option and looks great with the red exterior. The leather is in great condition and shows little wear. In fact, only the driver's seat exhibits wear and it is minor...limited to the bolster and a scratch on the thigh support (see pic). The dash, bezels and interior trim is perfect and all gauges and lights work as new. The car has its original factory radio cassette with slave CD unit. The system works great but the display on the head unit is dim and difficult to read.
Misc.: The car has its original A/C system which works perfectly. Heat and defrost also work without problems. The Supra is equipped with optional equipment including Anti-Lock Brakes and the Sport Package which includes the electronic modulated suspension system (TEMS). This system features a "normal and "sport" option keypad on the center console and works as new. The leather seats were also an option as was the carpeted floor mats which are still in great shape.
Auction Details: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours via PayPal. Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending. If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed. The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249. Thanks for your interest in my Supra and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Toyota sees Camry share loss despite predicting increasing sales
Tue, 02 Apr 2013Toyota may be set to lose share the midsize sedan market. While speaking with Automotive News, Toyota North America CEO Jim Lentz said that if his company kept pace with the current swell in the market for family four doors, Toyota would need to sell around 500,000 Camry models. "I'm not sure we can do much more than 400 [thousand] today," Lentz said.
But that doesn't mean Camry sales are shrinking - on the contrary, Lentz thinks Toyota will likely sell more Camry units in 2013 than it did in 2012, it's just that the company isn't keeping pace with segment's current explosion in popularity. Industry wide, midsized sedan sales have increased by 20 percent. "Are we going to lose [Camry] share? Probably so," Lentz said, "but we will continue to grow in raw volume."
Toyota sold 404,886 Camry units last year, and the company just revised its 2013 sales objective from 2.18 million units earlier this year to 2.2-million plus units, so while things are looking up for the brand and Camry sales may be on the rise, Toyota may not have the muscle to keep up its share in the sedan segment. Whether that's because of a production bottleneck or a predicted sales ceiling isn't clear. We've got a call in and will update this news item if/when we learn more.
NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022
Thu, Mar 17 2016The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.
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.
