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.

Ford Fusion production scaled back just 3 months after it was accelerated

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

Three months after kicking off production of the Ford Fusion at its Flat Rock, MI factory, Ford Motor Company is taking steps to trim output in the face of heavily discounted competition from Toyota and a growing supply of vehicles.
The addition of Fusion production in Flat Rock - which also builds the Mustang - was meant to be what pushed the handsome mid-sizer past its arch-nemesis, the Toyota Camry. An extra facility building Fusions was also meant to curb the growing demand for Ford's highly profitable sedan.
But with word that Flat Rock would take "approximately" one extra week off for the holidays combined with an 88-day supply of Fusions - reportedly due in no small part to what Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas called "aggressive discounting of the Camry" - some analysts are now beginning to wonder if Ford may have overextended itself by adding a second Fusion facility to the mix.

Toyota to recall 185k cars globally, including Yaris

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

Toyota has announced it is recalling a total of 185,000 vehicles worldwide for a power steering issue. Yaris and (overseas) Vitz models built between November 2010 and March 2012 could suffer a short circuit in their power steering control module if water gets inside. Should that happen, the power steering could fail, increasing effort when turning. The recall also includes the Verso-S and Ractis built from August 2010 to August 2011. The recall covers 130,000 vehicles in Japan and around 22,450 in Europe.
Only 74 units are being recalled in the United States.
Toyota says if the fault occurs, the vehicle will display the Electronic Power Steering warning light on the dash and a buzzer will sound. The automaker will alert owners by mail and dealers will replace the power steering control module free of charge. You can read the quick press release on the recall below for more information.

Toyota Auris Touring Sports is a handsome Prius V alternative [w/videos]

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

The Toyota Prius V has a lot to recommend it, but adventurous and sporty styling is not in its repertoire. That's why this new Auris Touring Sports has our attention. Claimed to be the "first full hybrid estate car" in the compact class, this two-box Auris has genuine visual panache to go with its load-lugging capability and parsimonious fuel economy. In the metal, we think its v-shaped grille and headlamp treatment acquits itself better than it does on the new RAV4, a model that shares its new design language.
Built by Toyota UK, the Auris Touring Sports hybrid is powered by a familiar-sounding 1.8-liter gas engine paired with an electric motor, with total system output quoted at 134 horsepower. The model will also be available in a variety of gas or diesel trims if you prefer your vehicle sans electrification (a non-hybrid model is shown). It goes on sale later this year in Europe, but don't hold your breath to see one in North America. Still interested? Scroll below to see a couple of videos and to read the official press release.
