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.

Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024

Wed, Oct 19 2022

If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.

Toyota creates GT86 concept inspired by Initial D

Wed, Jun 29 2016

Everyone has a favorite movie or TV car of their youths. The love of these cars can ignite a lifelong passion for automobiles. Some lust for the sharp, stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future or the decked-out Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. For anime and manga fans, it's the panda-colored Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno from the Initial D manga and anime series. Toyota, recognizing the significance of the that car, meticulously reimagined it for a modern audience, basing it on the UK market GT86. The GT86, sold in the United States as the Scion FR-S and soon to be rebadged as the Toyota 86, is considered by some to be the spiritual successor to the rear-wheel-drive AE86 Corolla from the 1980s. Both are reasonably affordable, lightweight cars with a propensity for oversteer. The original AE86 from Initial D was a highly modified but realistic drift machine. The amazing feats of that tofu delivery car as it raced everything from Mazda RX-7s to a Honda S2000 turned the little Toyota into a cult icon. That AE86 itself was inspired by the personal vehicle of Japanese racing driver Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya served as both an inspiration and supervisor for Initial D. Many of the modifications on the Initial D car, like the TRD carbon-fiber hood and Fujitsubo exhaust, car were exactly the same as Tsuchiya's real-life vehicle. Toyota is no stranger to crafting modern incarnations of classic vehicles. Last year the company created a Back to the Future Tacoma. Toyota's Initial D concept car uses the same parts wherever possible. Like the original, it has a carbon-fiber hood, Fujitsubo exhaust, and black Watanabe F8 wheels. The suspension, lights, and body have all been modified. Even small details like the engine cover and door handles were modified to recall the fictional car. The end result is a fantastic creation that pays great homage to the original. Toyota went as far as hiring UK manga artist Sonia Leong to design a series of backdrops that place the car in the same action shots as the original series. While this one-off vehicle is just a concept, most of the parts are available to purchase for fans who may be inspired to create their own version. Toyota's concept will be on display at various motoring shows across the UK this summer. Related video: Featured Gallery Toyota Initial D GT86 TV/Movies Scion Toyota Coupe toyota gt86 toyota 86
