Turbo, 5-speed, Red, Completely Stock on 2040-cars
Warwick, New York, United States
|
I have for sale a bone-stock, unadulterated 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo with 84k original miles on it. It's fully loaded e.g. 5-speed, Turbo, T-tops w/original t-top bags, Black leather interior, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power windows, original AM/FM Radio with CD/Cassette, A/C, front and rear spoiler along with other standard equipment.
Unlike most other MR2's with leather interior, there are NO rips or tears in either seat and the tops do not leak. The car was originally from Canada so the speedometer is in Kilometers. (there's still the "Candian Yacht Club" sticker in the window from the previous owner). The original owner then moved to Florida where he traded it in at a dealership. I bought it from a Car Auction in Tampa, FL in November of 2007. I bought a one-way ticket to Tampa, paid $8000 cash for the car and drove it back to New York. It had 64,527 miles on it when I picked it up (103,846 km's) Since then, it's been garage kept and NEVER driven in snow and RARELY in wet weather . . only if I got caught in the rain while already out. In the 7 1/2 years that I've had it, I've only put 20,000 miles on it averaging not even 3000 miles each year. Mechanically, besides Oil Changes, I had to replace the igniter about a year after I got it, I had the cooling system flushed, the front left caliper was stuck at one point and one of the front fog lights needed a new bulb. I also put some Yokohoma AVS ES100's about 15,000 miles ago. .the fronts still look okay, the rears are about done. Other than that, it's been maintenance free and an awesome ride considering it's going on 25 years old and entering official "antique car" mileage. The car starts right up and you can feel the power surge when the turbo kicks in. I always meant to "completely restore" the car e.g. new shocks, bushings, paint, re-finish the engine, etc., etc. but driving it was fun enough and I never really had the time to do it right and doubt I will any time in the near future :-( The car is in beautiful shape save for the expected nicks and pebble spots on the front and natural slight fading of the paint which is original as far as I can tell. There is 1 RUST area on the lower quarter-panel on the passenger side at the base of the rear wheel well. . .apparently dirt/mud collected there and caused the oxidation. That's the only rust spot on the car. . .front trunk is spotless as is the rear trunk as well as everywhere else. Interior is also beautiful. 2 spots on the interior are a cracked ash tray lid and a scratch on the glove compartment door. I hate to part with this car. . .it was really hard to find an MR2 Turbo that hadn't been messed with in any way and still had relatively low mileage ~ I kept looking on Ebay on and off for about 2 years and came across this one. . I actually set my bid as high as $10,000 and was surprised it went for only $8000. These cars are getting more and more rare as time goes by ~ I don't need to tell anyone who knows MR2's. . .if you're unfamiliar with the production and value of MR2's then you're most likely not looking at this auction. I realize there are no good pictures of the interior or engine compartment or trunk. Can't find them on my computer right now. . will take some and get them up here in the next few days. Sorry for the book. . .gonna miss this car. . .good luck and happy bidding! |

2014 Toyota Corolla coming Thursday, now with LED headlamps
Tue, 04 Jun 2013Here's what we know about the redesigned 2014 Toyota Corolla: It will have "aggressive new styling" with "available seventeen-inch alloy wheels" an "available touch screen audio" system and "available LED headlights."
We know all of this because Toyota has seen fit to release a small assortment of teaser images of the 2014 Corolla, with those descriptions attached. The latest to hit the web shows LED lighting clusters, which, to Toyota's credit, don't appear to merely mimic designs already seen in the automotive world.
We should point out that the headlights do share a link to the units seen on the Furia Concept that was supposed to foreshadow the next Corolla, though the most interesting bits - namely the honeycomb inner pattern - have been chucked while the somewhat trapezoidal main units remain intact.
Toyota working on cars that hover above the roadway
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Toyota is one of the largest automakers in the world, but it's not content simply building and selling conventional cars - it's been at the forefront of numerous advancements in ground transportation. It is widely credited with advancing the cause of hybrid propulsion, and alongside Audi and Google, is among the first automakers seriously testing self-driving cars. We could go on, but the news here is that Toyota is reportedly developing vehicles that hover above the road surface instead of rolling along it.
The news comes from Hiroyoshi Yoshiki, one of Toyota's tech gurus, who revealed at Bloomberg's Next Big Thing summer in San Francisco that the company is working on hovering cars - ones that travel just above the road surface, but don't actually fly in three-dimension space.
According to The Verge, a spin-off of our own sister-site Engadget, Yoshiki refused to elaborate on what the project entails and how far along it is. He was speaking along acting NHTSA chief David Friedman, who lauded such advancements as a "great taste of innovations to come," but stressed the significance of more concrete improvements to conventional automobiles - like inter-car communications to keep vehicles from colliding on the highway - as more relevant to today's industry.
Toyota's Lentz says fuel cells are the future, not EVs
Sun, 25 May 2014Toyota is not bullish on EVs. That comes from the company's North American CEO, Jim Lentz, who said the company will focus not on electrification, but on continued hybridization with a long-term focus on hydrogen fuel cells.
Lentz questioned the long-range ability of EVs, saying that Toyota feels "there are better alternatives, such as hybrids and plug-in hybrids, and tomorrow with fuel cells." Lentz spoke about Toyota's focus on hydrogen following Forbes Brainstorm Green conference and barely a week after a battery deal between Tesla and Toyota ended, according to Automotive News.
That deal provided for 2,500 battery packs for the Rav4 EV. While valuable to Toyota, the deal "was never about open-ended volume," Lentz said. "It was time to either continue or stop. My personal feeling was that I would rather invest my dollars in fuel cell development than in another 2,500 EVs."
