Restored 1989 Red Toyota Supra Turbo Targa Top on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
I have put allot of "labor and love" into this car. It has been restored almost completely. The condition is excellent. I have replaced the following. Fuel Injectors, Starter, Water pump, Brakes, Radiator(duel core),Turbo release valve, Head Gasket, Struts. Tires and new paint job.
This car has features that I do not think any other supra in the United States has. It has the original 1989 car phone in it(keeping everything original). It has a 2012 push button Start with automatic locking and unlocking when away from the car. It has a rear release. Interior lighting panel, custom antenna, custom front end cover, special halogen lights and fog lights. Heavy Duty Duel core radiator(less than 200 miles old). I bought this from a friend of mine and made it my project once I saw the condition and the car phone. It is important for the potential buyer to know that I am not going to sell this car to somebody who wants to go drag racing even though it is much faster than stock. I am looking for a collector or a supra lover who will cherish this car and take great care of it as I have. I only drive this car maybe 2 times a month for a Sunday drive , and believe me its a head turner. I have had the car almost 5 years and only put a total of 4,000 + miles on it. The rest of the time it is in my garage and covered. The payment terms are that the potential buyer and I meet and he/she test drives my supra before any transaction will occur. The payment will be in a wire transfer or pay pal and once the money is cleared then I will release and transfer the title into the new lucky owners name |

Toyota discontinuing FJ Cruiser after 2014 model year
Tue, 20 Aug 2013The Toyota FJ Cruiser is not long for this world. According to the manufacturer's own fleet website, the rugged FJ will be discontinued after the 2014 model year, with the companies final orders due in June of next year.
Toyota first launched the FJ Cruiser in 2006 as a 2007 model, and aside from minor year-over-year changes, it has not been substantially updated. The FJ is the modern successor to the original FJ40 Land Cruiser that Toyota produced from the 1960s all the way up through 1984, when the automaker decided to better focus on its larger, four-door Land Cruiser line. Currently, it uses a 4.0-liter V6 engine with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and is available with either a five-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. Interestingly, word of the FJ's demise comes not long after Toyota's US boss, Bill Fay, reaffirmed his company's commitment to body-on-frame trucks in late July.
Also of interest, Toyota's fleet website states that the 2014 model year Prius range will have "minor updates," though it's unclear what those are as of this writing. When Autoblog reached out to confirm these developments with Toyota, spokesman Curt McCallister reminded us, "As is our corporate policy, we don't discuss future products beyond the present or upcoming model year."
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Toyota found not at fault in alleged unintended acceleration crash
Fri, 11 Oct 2013Toyota has already paid out millions and billions of dollars in settlements surrounding unintended acceleration, but the first lawsuit in the matter, which headed to a California court in July, has reached a verdict. Following the 2009 death of Noriko Uno, whose 2006 Camry was hit by another car and then sped out of control before crashing into a tree, the jury found that Toyota was not at fault in the crash.
Even though the 2006 Camry (shown above) wasn't involved in any of the unintended acceleration-related recalls and it was not equipped with a brake override, Automotive News reports that the jury's verdict says there was no defect in the car and actually blames the entire incident on the driver that ran into Uno's car - to the tune of $10 million. The accident started when the other driver ran a stop sign and hit Uno's car, and the report says that medical conditions (including diabetes) caused Uno to fail to stop her Camry.
The AN article also states that this lawsuit was a bellwether case for around 85 other personal-injury and wrongful-death suits against Toyota, but there are still many impending suits across the country. Scroll down for an official statement on this particular case from Toyota.
