1993 Toyota Mr2 on 2040-cars
Elkhorn, Wisconsin, United States
|
I bought this car from my cousin a little over a year and a half ago, he bought it off the showroom floor brand new, in 1993. His wife died of cancer and the car was stored since then in his garage in Ohio. My uncle faithfully started this car at least once a week to keep all systems working. I've always wanted one of these. Since owning my own restoration shop for years I decided to give it the overall mechanical treatment to make sure it was reliable. I am A.S.E and I-Car certified. Ive put 6000 miles on it driving cross country a few times. (Im 6 foot 6 and it is extremely comfortable, I also have back problems but not driving this car). When I bought it I replaced , tires, brakes, starter, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, coil, starter relay, wires, plugs, air and oil filters, and battery. Eight speaker pioneer HD cd player was installed in original factory holes with no modifications or cutting of dash or interior. I have the original cassette to be included with purchase. The factory color shines like new, I give it a once a year hand polish and carnuba wax to keep it protected. There is a scratch on the left quarter panel that only penetrates the clear coat, there is minor color peeling on bottom of front lower bumper cover, normal from high parking blocks, and minor damage around the antenna. NO RUST. any other small imperfections in the body are not worth mentioning. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10, no burns or fading or obvious wear on seats etc. The leather cover on shifter handle should be replaced. Recently the water pump went out taking the timing belt with it. I have no place to work on it in winter, but I have a mechanic that will fix it for 200 to 250 labor and The parts come as a kit on E Bay for approx. 120 dollars. I am buying a house here and I hate to part with this great car, but I need the money. If I cant sell it as is, I will wait and fix it and the price will go up to what it is really worth, at least 7500 dollars. I will sell it one of two ways. With a 1500 dollar deposit, and by adding 500 dollars to price, I will have the water pump fixed and then you can pick it up, or as is with a 1000 dollar deposit. the deposit is to remove it from listings, and is not refundable. before you take the vehicle all money must be paid, either way, it is being sold as is with no refunds. THIS CAR IS ALREADY CLASSIC AND IS VERY DESIREABLE AND HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, mid engine rear wheel drive it handles like a race car and still gets 33MPG. Buyer is responsible for transportation.

Toyota nearing $1B settlement of unintended acceleration criminal probe
Sun, 09 Feb 2014According to those all-too-nebulous "people familiar with the matter," Toyota is close to a settlement with the US federal government to end a criminal probe over its long-running unintended acceleration fiasco. Though Toyota has never admitted guilt, the deal could reportedly crest a billion dollars and would likely include a criminal deferred prosecution agreement, and while we're not legal experts, The Wall Street Journal explains that such a deal would "[force Toyota] to accept responsibility while avoiding the potentially crippling consequences of federal criminal convictions."
The report from WSJ also suggests that Toyota is facing charges that it "made false or incomplete disclosures" to various government agencies regarding possible defects to its cars. Such charges may include mail and wire fraud violations. Toyota has already paid out fines totaling $66.2 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because it failed to report safety defects in a timely manner.
This deal with the federal government is not related to the billion-dollar class-action settlement reached with Toyota owners over falling vehicle values, and it's also different from the roughly 400 lawsuits still in courts alleging personal injury of wrongful death due to cases of unintended acceleration. In other words, don't expect to hear the end of such courtroom verdicts and settlements anytime soon...
2013 Toyota RAV4
Tue, 16 Apr 2013A Nicer View Than Ever Of Middle Of The Road
When we had our first shot behind the wheel of the 2013 Toyota RAV4, the overall judgment from Managing Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski could be summed up in a sentence along the lines of, "Eh, not bad." The truth is that the compact crossover segment, now filled with not-so-compact offerings, is as cutthroat as any in the industry these days. When a heavyweight player like the RAV4 comes to market with a new generation, it is not at liberty to start from a clean sheet, lest it throw cold water on a vehicle that sells tens of thousands of units globally every month. Like De La Soul says, "Stakes is high."
If the choices in the marketplace were still largely limited to the Honda CR-V, as was the case when this market niche was green, the Toyota offering might actually seem like the exciting choice. But with new players offering better dynamic thrills (Mazda CX-5), cool turbo motors and fancy technology (Ford Escape), or even crunchy cred (Subaru Forester), the small crossover shopper is really spoiled for choice in 2013.
Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
