Up for sale is a black 1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo. I am the fourth owner, having owned the car for nearly ten years, and to this day, it still puts a smile on my face. There are many nice automobiles out there, but this is one of the few where you get it all: design, engineering, performance, exclusivity, and reliability! Under my ownership it has never been in an accident, always garage kept, never smoked in, and well-maintained. It has seen rain and even a little snow over the years, but generally was not driven in inclement weather. Exterior rates at a 7/10 and interior a 6.5/10; it shows very well for a car its age.

Background:

In June 2003, it was bought from the previous (third) owner. The car had been stolen from the second owner and the engine, transmission, seats, and door panels were stripped. The third owner bought the vehicle at an auction in March of 2001 (have copy of auction invoice) and over the next two years, rebuilt it with the help of his friend who at the time was the shop foreman at Rockville (355) Toyota. He used some parts (turbos, targa top, seats, and door panels) from a 1995 Toyota Supra and everything else including the engine, transmission, and rear struts were all purchased new from Toyota (have receipt copies he provided me).

Before purchasing, the car was thoroughly inspected at Koons Tysons Toyota and was in very good condition, with the only issues needing work were replacement of two tires, an alignment, and the right rear brake light was out. A compression and leak down test showed all cylinders were in the 140-155 lbs range (have receipt). After those checks, I purchased the vehicle and have been a proud owner since! The body currently has just under 114,000 miles while the engine and transmission have 81,00 miles (approximately 33k mile difference). In December, I brought it in for a 90k service which included replacement of the water pump, timing belt, fuel filter, fixed valve cover gasket leaks, drop pan and replace transmission fluid, and Mobil 1 synthetic oil, a service costing over $2000. This fine automobile is ready to go!

Known issues:

This Supra is mechanically sound, no leaks, smoke, etc. Other than that, here's a list of known issues:

Targa roof leak - known issue w/ Supras. Under heavy rain, the roof sometimes leaks in a single spot (driver-side), about a drop every ten seconds. To fix, the removable roof-lock strip may either need to be caulked (i.e., silicon seal) or replaced. This was not a big deal for me as I tend to not drive in rain and it does not occur all of the time.
Wheels - overall in good condition. On the passenger side, there are some minor curb rash areas. Additionally, passenger side wheels were used with a cleaner that added a light hazy like coating to the chrome finish.
Right side windshield washer nozzle does not stream fluid. Not sure if this is due to wax build up clogging the nozzle or some other issue, but not an issue for me as the fluid from the left nozzle does the job.
Scratches/ding/chips - The carbon fiber hood has a scratch near the driver-side headlight (see picture), and a small chip on hood edge. There are scratches on the front and rear driver side fenders as well as the right rear bumper. There is a door ding on the driver door. Overall finish is quite good for a fifteen year old car.
Missing seat slider on driver side - it must have popped off at one point but it does not affect operation/functionality of moving the seat back forward/backward
Trunk latch - in order to open the trunk, the trunk release handle needs to stay in the "up" position to release the lock
Radio antenna - the mast does not go up and down. Affects the reception of a few FM radio stations and all AM stations
Headlight beam cutoff - the OEM glass headlamps (imported from Europe) have a different beam cut-off pattern than stock headlamps, which have plastic lens, sold in North American Supras. The glass lens is more durable and functionally superior to the plastic lens (and work great with the HID's) emitting a brighter light, but the cut-off forces the beam to a shorter distance. This can be adjusted, based on owner preference, but it was never an issue for me.

-------------

Notes:

The vehicle is being sold as-is. I have made my best attempt to disclose all known information.
Have financing in-place. Do not use Buy It Now feature unless you intend to pay within the specified time frame
This Supra will be advertised on multiple sites, plus I will bring it to local car dealers for their best offers, so I may end the eBay listing if sold through another channel
Have most records/receipts of parts purchased and services performed
Always used Mobil 1 Synthetic oil
Has been to the track once (MIR in November of 2003)
I either wait or use the turbo timer to cool the turbos before shutting off engine
Boost is at stock levels for at least the past two years (to preserve turbo life)
When I had the performance parts installed in 2006, I dyno'd it: result was 332 rwhp on Mustang Dyno @ 15 PSI (prior to mods, rwhp was 255)
Have title in-hand; no liens

Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Bentley and Rolls-Royce both introduce new luxury vehicles and Toyota revealed its latest Prius I'm Senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. With a top speed of 187 mph Bentyaga will be the fastest production SUV on the road when it hits the market. Eventually, Bentley intends to launch a seven-seat version, a higher performance Speed model, and more efficient diesel and hybrid variants of its new luxury SUV. Dawn is the new four seater convertible from Rolls-Royce. While the car looks to the past for its name it boasts lots of modern tech including Rolls-Royce's Zed F eight-speed automatic transmission for imperceptible gear changes and a silently operating, six layer, canvas top. The launch of Toyota's latest Prius marks the fourth generation of the popular hybrid. Prius has gone from a niche product to one of the industry's most important vehicles. Toyota hopes its new Prius will redefine the category it helped to pioneer. We're expecting fuel economy to increase by 10 percent and this is the most tech laden Prius ever. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus, some insight on the new Cadillac XT5. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore.

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?

Tue, Nov 8 2016

It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

Toyota recalling 1.9M Prius models globally for software update

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

Toyota has announced a set of voluntary recalls covering 960,000 Prius, RAV4, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 models in the United States to address two separate issues. Worldwide, Toyota will have to recall a total of 1.9 million Prius cars.
The Prius recall affects about 700,000 2010-2014 models in the US, due to a fault in the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU software. It says that the current software could result in high temperatures on certain transistors and possibly damage them. When it fails, the error forces the car into failsafe mode. Toyota says that in rare circumstances, it could even shut the hybrid system down while the car is being driven.
Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada told Automotive News that the software update should take about 40 minutes, and dealers would start to be notified about affected vehicles today. She also told them that the first reported glitch occurred in May 2011 in the US when the system overheated and the car entered failsafe mode. The affected cars were built between March 2009 and Feb. 5, 2014, according to Automotive News. Toyota says that it has received no reports of accidents or injuries caused by either fault.
