This is 100 percent legal 1986 Toyota Soarer (model gz20). It was legally registered through the state of texas under the 25 year rule with all proper documentation for import and from japan. VIN number is gz200011055. I am unable to input it ebay since japanese VIN numbers are shorter, because of that I had to input it as a 1980 when it is a 1986. It has the factory twin turbo inline six engine (1g-gte) and manual transmission (w57) . It has been very well taken care of. It only 99,243 kilometers (61,500 miles). It has been garage kept since it was imported, started once a week, and driven on sunny days only. It is a definite head turner. People love to see it on the road. Whether you keep this classic completely original or if you put a 1jzgte or 2jzgte in it, it sure to be the car that grabs attention. The paint is perfect and interior is great as well. The center console armrest could stand to be reupholstered and mirror trim has some cracks which was common for this model. Other than its in great shape. It has 3 piece 17" bbs wheels that match the style and date of the soarer. As I mentioned it has the original 1g-gte with w57 gearbox, with factory LSD, factory front mount intercooler, HKS boost controller, boost guage, tein coil over suspension, Trust brand stainless exhaust, kouki headlamps grill and bumper, Nardi steering wheel, factory digital combination meter which looks really cool, electronic folding mirrors, hydraulic hood supports, 12 disc cd changer (aftermarket). This Soarer was really ahead of it's time with all the options it has. Nothing in the US in 1986 has as many creature comforts and options as this Soarer. Side note- It does not have a sunroof, so for the taller drivers this is an extra two inches of head room for you. I do have the adapter brackets to mount a 1jzgte or 2jzgte into the soarer plus a J series bell housing for the w57. I can include these in the deal if interested.
Good luck bidding. Please ask questions if you are serious and have the funds. You must arrange pick up of the vehicle. I will help with meeting the transport for pick up of course. I am asking 500.00 deposit within 48 hours and the rest of the payment at my bank. If you aren't able to come here then the rest of the payment can be through paypal. Contact me first if we are going to use paypal for full price. Thank you. |

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Toyota to end Australian production by 2017
Mon, 10 Feb 2014There is more bad news for the Australian auto industry today, as Toyota has just announced that it will follow General Motors and Ford in shuttering its manufacturing operations on the continent. Production and assembly will cease by the end of 2017, but Toyota will remain in Australia as a sales and distribution company.
"We did everything that we could to transform our business, but the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia," said Toyota Australia President and CEO Max Yasuda.
In an official statement, Yasuda said that the closure would directly affect 2,500 manufacturing employees and an unknown number of corporate workers. However, a report in the Australian newspaper The Age suggests that the jobs of 24,000 workers at Australian auto suppliers could also be in jeopardy. Toyota currently builds its Camry, Camry Hybrid, Aurion sedans in Australia, along with four-cylinder engines, and it plans to begin importing the Camry and Aurion after production stops.
Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
