You are looking at a 1997 Toyota Celica GT Convertible.  I'm sure you have heard this before but honestly this car runs, drives, brakes, handles and steers like a new one.  I bought this car over a year or so ago because this is the body style of Celica that my daughter liked.  But now she just had her second child and she says there is no way that she can put both of them in the car.  Before I gave it to her I had it all checked out and maintained by a Toyota dealership. Checked out good except the park brake needs new cables. Which is common on automatic transmissions because they are never used and the cable corrodes and becomes stuck and won't move. I did not repair that. All other brakes were as new, front and rear. Aside from a cleaning the top functions perfect and has no leaks, rips, snags or tears. Has one small rock chip in windshield, no cracks. Shown in pic's.  The factory alloy wheels have some corrosion on them, see picture.  Zero rust, dents or scratches. Couple small rock chips in front bumper cover, if I did not say anything you  more then likely would not notice.  The A/C needed charged, it had a leak in the condenser so I had it replaced. Now A/C blows ice cold. At 140000 I was told it had a 77000 engine put in it with new timing belt and water pump. Car has no leaks at all. I believe the mileage on the engine to be correct so does the Toyota dealer.  The car performs flawlessly in every way including the automatic transmission.  Stereo has tape and CD all factory sounds great like new.  Has brand new leather seat covers.  Front and rear. Look to be factory like new. Tires are like new. The car also has a Alarm system with a remote start, seems to function perfect.   Car has absolutely no issues.  This is a seriously beautiful car.  There will be no disappointments at  all.  The car is priced to sell. I just have to many cars.  Please fell free to call and ask me any questions at all. My name is Randell Carr 1-309-269-1203

NHTSA opens safety investigations into Toyota, GM and Honda crossovers

Fri, 08 Jun 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is evidently keeping itself very busy these days, as the federal agency has just announced it is launching or renewing investigations into Toyota, Honda and General Motors crossovers.
2006-2008 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers are under review for allegations of rear tie-rod rust which can result in failure. NHTSA also said it is probing some 35 complaints about 2005 Honda Pilot models with inappropriate activation of the vehicles' stability control system. The alleged malfunction can cause the vehicles to slow down or stop in bad unsafe situations. At the moment, NHTSA is reviewing a petition regarding the Pilot issue, a move that will determine whether it needs to open a full-blown investigation.
In addition, Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia three-row crossovers built in 2007-2009 are getting looked at for "loss of low beam headlamp" function. One complainant said the wiring in his Outlook overheated and melted. NHTSA says it has received 415 complaints about the problem and a GM spokesman confirmed that the automaker already started a "Customer Satisfaction Program" in December to address the issue.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.

A few pre-race notes and a lot of photos from the 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sat, 14 Jun 2014

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
