Very Rare Toyota Mr2 Supercharged (factory Oem Aw11 First Gen 4agz-e on 2040-cars
Chula Vista, California, United States
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. |

2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Thu, 08 May 2014What would you say if we told you that outside of Jeep and Land Rover, the best brand for those who want to go off road is Toyota? Sounds remarkable, eh? But the truth is, Toyota's history of providing vehicles for the rougher bits of our blue marble dates back to 1950, barely a decade after Willys built the first Jeeps and only a few years after Land Rover made its big debut with the iconic Series I.
In fact, Toyota's start in off-roaders was with a small contract for providing the US Army with vehicles, during the Korean War. From that, the BJ was spawned. This Jeep-like vehicle evolved into the 20 Series and then into the iconic 40 Series Land Cruiser in the 1960s.
So yes, Toyota knows its way around the trails. While the Land Cruiser, deservedly, gets all the attention thanks to its impressive longevity, we're partial to the 4Runner, which is a far more affordable entry that serves as Toyota's challenger to the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
EPA says automakers ahead of schedule for 54.5 MPG by 2025
Sat, Apr 26 2014Remember, the target is 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Today, the CAFE level is a little over 30. How we get from here to there is something the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is monitoring closely. Thus, the EPA just released an annual flash report on how the auto industry is progressing towards meeting the nation's fuel economy goals. Overall, the industry is doing almost 10 grams per mile (equivalent) better than the rules require. The good news is that the industry is a bit ahead of schedule. In the report (see page iii), the EPA breaks things down by automaker based only on MY12 numbers. Tesla is at the top of the list (which is ranked by over-compliance with 2012MY CO2 standards), but for our money, the real leader is Toyota. The Japanese automaker built the second-highest number of vehicles (2,020,248, after General Motors' 2,364,374) but racked up the most net 2012 over-compliance credits (13,163,009 metric tons). That's an average of over 6.5 metric tons per vehicle. The next closest is Honda, with just over five metric tons of credits per vehicle. Given the MPG fiasco with Hyundai and Kia, the EPA says, "we are excluding Hyundai and Kia data because of the ongoing investigation into their testing methods," but overall, the rest of the industry has credits worth 25,053,168 metric tons of CO2, which means it's doing almost 10 grams per mile (equivalent) better than the rules require. Go team. For now, the numbers in this report (and there are a lot more of them – get the 59-page PDF for yourself here), can't really be used to understand everything from the first year of the new CAFE program. The EPA writes, "Because the program allows credits and deficits to be carried into future years, at the close of the 2012 model year no manufacturer is considered to be out of compliance with the program. ... Compliance with the 2012 model year standards can't be fully assessed until the end of the 2015 model year." There are a more interesting tidbits in the report, such as the fact that Fisker produced 1,415 model year 2012 vehicles, Tesla made 2,952. Remember, too, that CAFE numbers don't equal the fuel economy you see in your daily drives. In the real world, the 54.5 CAFE level will be about 40 mpg, and the average fuel economy today is around 25 mpg, so we have a ways to go, no matter how you measure it.
