White - Mr2 No Turbo Charger on 2040-cars
Palmdale, California, United States
My wife bought this car new and within 90 days someone turned left in front of her on Pacific Ave. Venice and there is no where to go. It did extensive damage to the front end but because it was such a square hit the unitized frame/body did not suffer any twisting or mishaping. The insurance company still felt it was cheaper to pay it off then to repair it. My wife took the money and had Venice Beach Auto Body, repair the car. This same business is still in operation. In 2007 I bought the car from her for business write off purposes for using my own car. I then began going through the car mechanically for maximum reliability during my 100 mile round trip daily for my work. In 2010 I switched over to my pick-up for that travel and keep the MR2 for a back-up vehicle. I have since retired and although I have had it sitting in the driveway ever since, I have just now decided that I should sell it.
This car has always been Smoke-Free, It's radio is the top of the line Toyota radio for that year. It is an AM/FM, and cassette stereo player. The stock speakers in the headliner are no longer available so I had these reconditioned approx. 3 years ago.. Nothing else fits in that space. With the exception of the body work and the catalytic converter (Magic Muffler) all repair work has been at Marina Toyota in Marina Del Rey and I have the complete folder of receipts and work orders for this car. I don't think there is much difference in the DMV's everywhere. Paper work must be completed in advance and received and registered by the DMV. Payment will be cash, certified check or paypal. I am a member of AAA and we may well be able to do it at a AAA office. This is going to be a great find for whomever buys this car. With very little work and new paint, this car will look fantastic and easily admired by those with an eye for cars. |

Toyota Supra ready for its retrospective video closeup
Mon, 20 May 2013Our friends at XCAR have taken the time to train their lenses on the iconic Toyota Supra. With Toyota finally back into the performance car game, it seems only logical to remember one of the brand's most legendary sports cars. While we're all busy ladling praise onto the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins, it's important to remember that Toyota used to produce all manner of fun-to-drive machinery. The Supra once sat at the top of that list, its most recent iteration giving buyers the option of a ludicrous forced-induction inline six, gorgeous styling and plenty of presence.
Of course, the legend didn't stop once the Supra fell off American order sheets in 1998. Always an aftermarket darling, the Supra has gone on to become a tuner favorite in nearly every corner of grassroots motorsport. From drag racing to road racing and everywhere in between, the Supra is remains a force to be reckoned with nearly 15 years after it last prowled the US auto market. You can catch the tribute from XCAR below.
GM outsold VW globaly in first quarter, Toyota reports numbers next week
Thu, 18 Apr 2013General Motors released its first quarter sales figures this week, reporting that it sold 2.36 million cars and trucks worldwide. That figure represents an increase of 3.6 percent when compared to the same period last year. GM's growth was attributed to many factors, including global Cadillac sales that were up 26 percent and Chevrolet posting a one percent increase over last year (this marked Chevy's tenth straight year of record global sales).
Volkswagen came in just behind GM, as the German automaker reported global sales from January through March at 2.27 million vehicles, an increase of five percent when compared to last year. While that number was strong, VW is cautioning that markets outside China and the US, such as those in Europe, are becoming a challenge as economies falter.
Yet to report sales is Toyota, current holder of the global world sales crown (the Japanese company sold 9.75 million cars last year, against 9.29 million sold by GM and 9.1 million vehicles sold by VW). Even though GM and Toyota both say they don't care who sells the most units, it is unquestionably a strong bragging point and sales equate to revenue. That said, Toyota will report its first quarter numbers next week.
Toyota casts off in Ponam-31 motor yacht [w/video]
Sun, 12 Oct 2014Some Japanese automakers focus purely on cars, while others dabble in all sorts of motorized transportation. Honda, for example, makes everything from motorbikes to jet aircraft. But while Toyota may be known principally for automobiles, it also makes a line of boats. And this is the latest.
The new Toyota Ponam-31 motor yacht is built around an aluminum hull with a flybridge and cockpit rear deck layout, similar to the Carver 32 on which this writer spent his childhood summers. It measures 31 feet overall and is powered by a pair of 3.0-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engines derived from the Land Cruiser Prado (known in these parts as the Lexus GX 460) but marinized for nautical application. Toyota has even equipped its new Sports Utility Cruiser with such features as Drive Assist and a Virtual Anchor System.
Toyota expects to sell around 15 units of the Ponam-31 through its network of 49 dealers across Japan, with prices starting at 29,700,000 yen (about $27,500 at today's conversion rates). Scroll down below for a video, along with a press release, meant to show potential customers what's waiting for them.
