Turbo, 5-speed, Red, Completely Stock on 2040-cars
Warwick, New York, United States
I have for sale a bone-stock, unadulterated 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo with 84k original miles on it. It's fully loaded e.g. 5-speed, Turbo, T-tops w/original t-top bags, Black leather interior, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power windows, original AM/FM Radio with CD/Cassette, A/C, front and rear spoiler along with other standard equipment.
Unlike most other MR2's with leather interior, there are NO rips or tears in either seat and the tops do not leak. The car was originally from Canada so the speedometer is in Kilometers. (there's still the "Candian Yacht Club" sticker in the window from the previous owner). The original owner then moved to Florida where he traded it in at a dealership. I bought it from a Car Auction in Tampa, FL in November of 2007. I bought a one-way ticket to Tampa, paid $8000 cash for the car and drove it back to New York. It had 64,527 miles on it when I picked it up (103,846 km's) Since then, it's been garage kept and NEVER driven in snow and RARELY in wet weather . . only if I got caught in the rain while already out. In the 7 1/2 years that I've had it, I've only put 20,000 miles on it averaging not even 3000 miles each year. Mechanically, besides Oil Changes, I had to replace the igniter about a year after I got it, I had the cooling system flushed, the front left caliper was stuck at one point and one of the front fog lights needed a new bulb. I also put some Yokohoma AVS ES100's about 15,000 miles ago. .the fronts still look okay, the rears are about done. Other than that, it's been maintenance free and an awesome ride considering it's going on 25 years old and entering official "antique car" mileage. The car starts right up and you can feel the power surge when the turbo kicks in. I always meant to "completely restore" the car e.g. new shocks, bushings, paint, re-finish the engine, etc., etc. but driving it was fun enough and I never really had the time to do it right and doubt I will any time in the near future :-( The car is in beautiful shape save for the expected nicks and pebble spots on the front and natural slight fading of the paint which is original as far as I can tell. There is 1 RUST area on the lower quarter-panel on the passenger side at the base of the rear wheel well. . .apparently dirt/mud collected there and caused the oxidation. That's the only rust spot on the car. . .front trunk is spotless as is the rear trunk as well as everywhere else. Interior is also beautiful. 2 spots on the interior are a cracked ash tray lid and a scratch on the glove compartment door. I hate to part with this car. . .it was really hard to find an MR2 Turbo that hadn't been messed with in any way and still had relatively low mileage ~ I kept looking on Ebay on and off for about 2 years and came across this one. . I actually set my bid as high as $10,000 and was surprised it went for only $8000. These cars are getting more and more rare as time goes by ~ I don't need to tell anyone who knows MR2's. . .if you're unfamiliar with the production and value of MR2's then you're most likely not looking at this auction. I realize there are no good pictures of the interior or engine compartment or trunk. Can't find them on my computer right now. . will take some and get them up here in the next few days. Sorry for the book. . .gonna miss this car. . .good luck and happy bidding! |

Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'
Sat, 05 Oct 2013Bad news, sportscar fans. According to a new report from What Car?, Toyota has cancelled plans to produce a GT86 convertible, a model based on the FT-86 Open Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In truth, Toyota never actually confirmed it would produce the budget-friendly droptop in the first place, but rumors have been flying since last year and Toyota reportedly showed its embattled Scion dealers a FR-S version of the convertible in August. Presumably, this means that a lidless variant of the Subaru BRZ is not in the cards, either.
The reason for the move is unknown, though What Car? reports "one possible cause is weight; Toyota did say that further work would be required on rigidity before the convertible could be launched, and that could have added extra bulk that conflict with the regular GT86's ethos of light weight and agile handling." It doesn't look like that work will happen anytime soon, as "sources now say that the car has now been delayed indefinitely, with no place in Toyota's product plan in either 2014 or 2015." Still holding out hope? What Car? says the project could be "fast-tracked" if management decides it wants to reboot the program down the road.

Weekly Recap: Toyota wants cars to be your 'close friends' around 2020
Sat, Oct 10 2015Toyota confirmed plans this week to launch autonomous technology in its production cars around 2020. The automaker's version is called Highway Teammate, and it's one element of a broader mobility strategy that includes vehicles communicating with each other and the grid. "Toyota believes that interactions between drivers and cars should mirror those between close friends who share a common purpose, sometimes watching over each other and sometimes helping each other out," the company said in a statement. That sounds utopian, and perhaps a bit cheesy, but it's an acknowledgment that autonomous driving requires more than technology developed in a vacuum. Toyota is looking at its research in a broader context, and dubs its overall strategy the Mobility Teammate Concept. Highway Teammate is the first step. Its test vehicle is a modified Lexus GS, which uses road-mapping data and external sensors to merge or exit highways, change lanes, and maintain safe distances during driving. It's operated on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Toyota has been working on autonomous tech since the 1990s, with the goal of providing mobility for older people and the disabled, as well as lowering the frequency of traffic accidents. Toyota's push comes as an early adopter, Nissan, is hedging on its own deadline to implement the autonomous tech by 2020 due to a lack of firm laws governing self-driving cars around the world. Conversely, Volvo took the landmark step of being the first automaker to accept liability for when its cars will operate in autonomous mode, and urged the US government to set federal guidelines to regulate the technology. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 BMW M4 GTS: Your water-injected, turbo-boosted demon BMW is unleashing its most powerful M4 ever, a 493-horsepower special edition that's road legal yet bred for the track. The company is making 700 copies for sale around the world, and 300 of them will come to the United States. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder revs to 7,600 rpm and uses a water-injection technology to cool the intake air and lower the compression temperature. BMW says this allows it to wring more power out of the inline six. The car also uses carbon-fiber reinforced plastic for the roof, hood, engine compartment strut brace, drive shaft, and rear spoiler to reduce weight. The M4 features BMW's organic light-emitting diode taillights, which are said to be an industry first.
Recharge Wrap-up: Audi to build Q6 e-tron in Brussels, Boris Johnson test drives Toyota Mirai
Thu, Oct 15 2015Audi will build the Q6 e-tron at its factory in Brussels, Belgium. Production for the electric vehicle - which will be based on the concept car from the Frankfurt Motor Show in September - is slated for 2018. Its expected driving range of about 311 miles should help make it competitive against the Tesla Model X. Audi's Brussels plant is also where the A1 is made. It employs about 2,500 workers and produced about 115,000 vehicles in 2014. Read more from Automotive News Europe. During a visit to Toyota Headquarters, London Mayor Boris Johnson confirmed that Transport for London will be the UK's first Toyota Mirai customer. Mayor Johnson traveled to Japan on a three-day trade mission, and took a test drive of the fuel cell vehicle. "By embracing this technology of the future, we aim to consolidate hydrogen's role as a practical alternative fuel for the 21st century and beyond," says Johnson. "I am sure that Transport for London will provide the ideal environment for us to see everything Mirai can do and, in doing so, take another great step towards improving air quality in our city and protecting the health of Londoners."

The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) has delivered 12 electric commercial lawn mowers to government and nonprofit organizations in San Bernardino County. The donation of the electric mowers is part of a demonstration program to promote zero-emissions equipment. At prices ranging from $3,000 to $20,000, the electric mowers cost about 25 percent more than their gas-powered counterparts, but their lower operating costs can make up for the price difference in about two years. In addition, they produce about half the noise, and save about 600 pounds of harmful emissions per year. SCAQMD plans to deliver five more of the mowers as part of the same program.

SCAQMD Launches Nation's Largest Zero-Emission Commercial Lawn Mower Demonstration Program in San Bernardino SAN BERNARDINO, Calif., Oct. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The South Coast Air Quality Management District today delivered a dozen new, battery-electric commercial lawn mowers to agencies in San Bernardino County as part of a long-term demonstration program to promote the zero-emission equipment.
