Up for your consideration is a rare model produced and manufactured by Toyota.

A beloved MR2 with factory Supercharged motor!

Only 210,000 original miles. 3 owners since new!

Automatic transmission

Working A/C

Fair paint but it is red and as you know red fades so this was a repaint along the way before it arrived in my hands.

Still very presentable, mint it is not.

Interior is lovely and heavy velour fabric was used.

Dash does have cracks in it which most MR2's of this era were prone too.

Carpet is torn, completely usable but again, depending on how mint you want it would need replacing.

All tires are about a year old and have 80% tread left. Warranty from Discount tire is valid.

Front strut cartridges where replaced recently with new KYB ones but still have some clunks when hitting a pothole. Possible bushings need replacing in the suspension. Again typical.

Radiator has been rodded ad cleaned with a complete cooling system flush. Only done as a preventative measure and the car has never been overheated.

Distributor has been R&R within two years.

The 4AGZ-E motor sounds and performs healthy. There are some minor leaks. I do not know from where as it could be any number of places. If you are familiar with MR2's than you know this is par for the course. Typical.

Keep in mind the car is close to 26 years old and is not a new vehicle. it will have minor stuff that need tending too but still drives great!

The power to weight ratio is great and a hoot to drive. Very Go-Kart like. Speedy Gonzalez as it like to be called can roll with the best of them, especially in turns.

A low stance and great suspension really serves the driver looking to have fun in the twisties or at your next autocross event.

All electrical works but at this time the alternator has given up the ghost so it will need replacing before said fun can be had. A fresh battery is also needed.

With a new battery it will start and drive but not very far before the battery goes dead. Again, alternator. About a $100 and two hours labor.

It has T-tops but missing the inside covers. I have tinted all windows to cut down on sun glare and protect the interior from fading.

A/C works great. The blower could be stronger but it is what it is. No power steering. Great steering radius.

Currently registered till JULY and has Arizona Plates and clear Arizona Title.

This is a modern classic and gaining value over time. Only 1 in 10 cars sold were Supercharged.

With a little work than can be a true looker and collectors piece.

Car is currently located in San Diego and if your in the area inspections are welcomed.

If transporting out of state I can assist but ultimately it is buyers responsibility to have the car paid in full as well as finding transport company.

You are the expert and no warranties are given and implied. As-is where is.

Also as a side note, antenna motor broken so does not go up and down.

Drivers side window switch broken. Window does not go up or down. No power locks.

Toyota says no one wants a Toyota electric car

Tue, Oct 28 2014

It's no secret that Toyota doesn't really have a heart in pushing pure electric vehicles. The very limited Scion iQ EV project was killed before it went very far and the RAV4 EV project with Tesla was always only meant to produce just 2,600 units, but it didn't even get that far. In short, by all public appearances, Toyota just doesn't see the value of a pure EV. "No one is coming to our door asking us to build a new electric car." – Toyota's Craig Scott Toyota's public reasoning for the lack of a Prius C EV, for example, has often been that customers don't want to compromise on range and that hydrogen is a better bet. Company executives like Bob Carter say so over and over again. A new comment by Craig Scott, Toyota's national manager of advanced technologies, says that the Japanese automaker, give a slightly different spin on things. "Toyota actually favors fuel cells over other zero-emission vehicles, like pure battery electric vehicles," he told the Los Angeles Times. "We would like to be still selling cars when there's no more gas. And no one is coming to our door asking us to build a new electric car." This, understandably, has riled up a lot of EV supporters, many of whom have called on all automakers to sell more electric vehicles. After all, if Nissan can sell around 3,000 EVs a month in the US, couldn't Toyota do something similar? Are there thousands of people coming to the door asking for the fuel cell sedan that Toyota will start selling in the US next year? That answer is unclear, but it certainly doesn't look like Toyota is backing off its H2 bet any time soon.

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of

Couple survives 50-foot fall from overpass in Toyota

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

It doesn't matter the make or model - modern vehicles are technological miracles when it comes to occupant protection. Take this story out of New York City, which involved two people going for a very wild ride in a Toyota Matrix.
Carlos and Raquel Broadbelt were on the Cross Bronx Expressway overpass when they hit a patch of ice while dodging a pothole, sending them hurtling into a guardrail and over the side of the overpass. They fell 50 feet onto the road below. Despite the catastrophic accident - and the mangled Toyota - both driver and passenger walked away. The couple spent a night in the hospital just for observation.
The Broadbelts' miraculous survival has even surprised doctors, who told Dave Carlin from CBS New York they'd never seen an accident like it. Take a look below for the full news report from CBS New York.
