I'm a dealer of classic and collectible cars, and I also import Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Land Cruisers. I ran across this '88 Celica and could not resist buying it and importing it into the US. This is a one-owner car with low miles (111,420 KM's or 69,233 Miles). It is in excellent condition, as you can see in the complete set of photos. Everything works except the cruise control, which engages but does not hold the set speed. The power top operates properly, all 4 power windows work, and even the radio works (although it is Japanese band so it only receives a small range of US frequencies). This car has been mechanically inspected, and is ready to be licensed and driven. The only flaws on the body are two small dimples on the passenger side front fender and a small dent under the passenger side rear tail light. Both of these defects are clearly visible in the photos. Also there is a defect in the center of the dash, perhaps where a GPS unit was mounted. Overall, this Celica is in excellent condition. I couldn't find a spec of rust on the entire vehicle. I can't be sure it's the original paint, but it appears to be. The only things I've done to the car are replacing the battery, checking the fluids, inspecting the mechanicals, and a thorough detailing.

This Celica was imported in July 2013. It comes with copies of all the import paperwork including the EPA and DOT import declarations and a copy of the Japanese Export Certificate. This car has a clean Missouri title and can be registered in all 50-states. The correct VIN is ST1627212811 which is non-standard for a newer vehicle in the USA, but correct for a JDM spec vehicle.

The engine is an inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve, 2.0L gas model with electronic fuel injection. The original JDM battery was bad when it arrived so I purchased and installed a new Yellow-Top Optima battery. The car starts easily and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly and is easy to drive. It is right-hand-drive, but this is very easy to get used to after a few minutes of driving. It's only an inconvenience at a drive-through or ATM machine, lol.

Included is the original spare tire, and the original Toyota toolkit. The toolkit is very cool and includes several tools with the Toyota name on them.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
How new car shortages may impact your buying experience
Wed, 04 Sep 2013If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.
Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Nissan recall 3.4 million vehicles for faulty airbags
Thu, 11 Apr 2013Most vehicle recalls that take place these days are a result of some problem that happens during the manufacturing process by the automaker, but as we see here, parts suppliers can also factor in to problematic safety issues. Automotive News is reporting that a total of 3.4 million vehicles produced by Japanese automakers between 2000 and 2004 are being recalled globally due to faulty airbags produced by an outside supplier, Takata Corp.
According to the report, vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda are being recalled because of passenger front airbags that do not inflate properly. Globally, Toyota is said to be recalling around 1.73 million cars including 510,000 in the US composed of Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia and Tundra as well as the Lexus SC430 for the 2001 through 2003 model years; this is the second time this year the 2003 Corolla and Matrix have been recalled for an airbag problem. Honda is recalling 1.14 million models, Nissan another 480,000 and Mazda 45,463. The article says that Takata supplied faulty airbags to non-Japanese automakers, but it did not specify which ones.
Honda and Toyota have released information on their own websites about the recall, while Nissan and Mazda have not yet commented. Read official press releases from Honda and Toyota, below, and look for updates as we have word from the others.
