1992, All Original, Supra With Turbo, Leather, Removable Top, And Only 92,000 Mi on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
Rare, completely
original 1992 Toyota Supra MKIII, with turbo, automatic transmission, 92,000 miles,
leather, and removable roof panel. This car has all options. The last year of
this body style, the ’92 is the most sophisticated design and best of its run
(according to car magazine reviews of the day). Teal blue paint is original and
in excellent shape considering its 22 years in the So Cal sunshine. There is a
barely noticeable ding or two in the door panel from a car door opening into it
in a parking lot. And a barely noticeable abrasion mark about 6 inches long on
the right front bumper that can probably be buffed out. The paint is also
beginning to show signs of oxidation here and there in the clear-coat (that can
also probably be buffed out). The
oxidation can be seen mainly on the roof panel and rear bumper/spoiler area. The
black trim around the rear lift-back glass and black paint on wiper arms shows
some sun damage (see pics). Interior is very good (dash is perfect, no splits)
but passenger seat (now covered) recently developed a crack and split open in
the seat area. The previous owner shortened the driver floor mat, it apparently
curled up and interfered with pedals but hasn’t while I’ve owned it. The rest
of the interior is new car clean and all the controls/gadgets work as they
should. The retractable cargo cover works and is in good shape except for some cosmetic
peeling of the pigmented coating that covers a non-moving part of it. The
factory CD/Tape/radio is installed (has never been out as far as I know) and
everything associated with it works except the CD play head is slightly out of
alignment causing one stereo channel to playback quietly relative to the other.
The antenna raises and lowers as it should. The engine runs great and transmission
shifts smoothly (many do not, I've heard). This car has been adult owned and
driven, and has received regular maintenance since new. I have maintenance
records back to year 2000. All maintenance was performed by the dealer that
sold the car new until 2008 (Toyota of Cerritos, CA). All the maintenance I’ve
done since then has been by either a local San Diego Toyota dealership or a
long-time trusted mechanic who owns an established local repair shop. All
rubber hoses and tubing replaced in 2010. Battery is about a year old. New
tires around 10k miles ago. This car is reliable and tight. No rattles at all. No
leaks. Drives and sounds like a new car but better because you seldom see
another one on the road and it gets more compliments than any new car I’ve ever
owned. I found this car in a small dealership near Los Angeles in 2008 after
the original owner traded it in on a new Toyota from the dealer that sold him
the Supra in 1992 (mileage was about 72,000). The dealer wholesaled it to Ray’s
auto where I found it. I contacted the original owner and he told me the car’s
history. The dealership that originally sold the car gave me a computer printout
of the maintenance performed but their history only went back to year 2000.

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey
Wed, 05 Feb 2014According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.

Toyota Camry, Honda Civic inventories mounting as US automakers make inroads
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Two of the hottest-selling cars in America aren't quite as hot as they used to be. The Toyota Camry and Honda Civic are both seeing dealer supplies increase in the face of renewed competition from the much-improved Detroit Three.
According to a report from The Detroit News, the Camry's dealer inventory is 15 days higher than its seasonal average, while the Civic is 25 days above average. Things aren't expected to get better for Toyota and Honda, as RBC Capital Markets analyst Joseph Spak marked the two Japanese offerings as "at risk for reduced output."
The Detroit Three, meanwhile, are seeing supplies dwindle as demand increases, especially for the Ford Fusion, which has seen an 18-percent increase in 2013 sales, and the Chevrolet Cruze, which was second only to the Camry in June 2013 sales.
