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 mulling more Tundra, Tacoma capacity in TX

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

Toyota may be expanding its pickup truck production at its San Antonio, TX factory following calls from dealers for more Tacoma and Tundra models, according to a new report from Automotive News.
The San Antonio plant is currently able to produce 250,000 trucks on two shifts with overtime, while a secondary facility in Tijuana, Mexico can build an extra 50,000 Tacomas. Despite this capacity, and the fact that Tundra is a slow seller relative to the full-size trucks from Ford, Ram and Chevrolet/GMC (not to mention the Tacoma being part of a segment with diminishing sales), Toyota franchisees apparently can't get enough of the trucks.
"Dealers are telling us they could sell more Tacomas and Tundras," said Bill Fay, the general manager of the Toyota Division. "We are evaluating our footprint and capacity." According to AN, Toyota has moved over 248,000 trucks through November.

Toyota recalling select 2014 Camry and Avalon models

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Toyota has announced a rather small voluntary recall, affecting 5,650 Avalon and Camry sedans from model year 2014. Both gas and hybrid models are included in the action.
This recall focuses on the left front lower suspension arm, which may have a bad bolt connecting it to the ball joint. If the car hits a big enough pothole - a real concern as we head into winter - or suffers a major impact, the two components could separate, at which point steering control would more or less vanish.
According to Toyota, there have been no crashes, injuries or deaths due to this problem. Toyota is notifying owners, who will need to report to dealers for a free replacement lower suspension arm.

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
