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 (112,206 KM's or 69,693 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. It has been driven about 800 KM's since arriving, and runs and drives perfectly.

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.

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.

Toyota launches updated Verso-S in Europe

Wed, 14 May 2014

Globally, the Toyota Yaris has bred more variants than we can shake a stick at. It's been known in different markets as the Vitz, the Platz, the Bella, the Vios and, to us, as the Echo. The first-generation model bred a small cargo van called the Yaris Verso - a mini minivan riding on the shortest wheelbase in its class - which was renamed the Verso-S for Europe and alternatively known as the Space Verso, the Ractis, the Ractis Verso and even the Subaru Trezia in certain markets. And now Toyota has launched a revised version of its Verso-S in Europe.
Arriving as a mid-life facelift after three years on the market, the new Toyota Verso-S has been reinterpreted through the "Keen Look" design language that's been distinguishing the latest generation of Toyotas, particularly in the European market. That means new projector-beam headlights and LED daytime running lights, a reshaped grille with chrome surround, more LEDs around back, a fresh set of 16-inch alloys and new color options.
The interior has likewise been spruced up with new trim and color choices, as well as a tire pressure monitor fitted as standard. There's a new touchscreen display with more connectivity options, upgraded nav and a rearview camera as well. Since Toyota's made no mention of engine upgrades, until we hear back, we have to assume the 1.3-liter inline-four and 1.4-liter diesel engines carry over unchanged with the buyer's choice of either a six-speed manual or continuously variable transmission.

Toyota recalls slew of models for possible airbag calibration defect

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

Toyota is recalling sixteen models from the 2009 to 2013 model years over a potential issue with passenger seat airbag calibration. In spite of the large number of different Toyotas covered by the recall, just 3,235 units are included. These were vehicles installed with accessories like leather seat covers and headrest DVD systems by Southeast Toyota Distributors, and during the modifications the passenger seat occupant sensor system might not have been calibration tested. If the sensors aren't set up properly, the passenger airbag might not work as it should.
Affected models include: Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Prius, Prius V, Rav4, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra and Venza. Scroll down for the relevant model years for each.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall will begin this month. Southeast Toyota will inform owners, at which time they can take their Toyotas to dealers for testing and repair. The complete bulletin from the NHTSA with more information is below.
