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. 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

Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line
Fri, 09 May 2014Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.
Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
2014 Toyota Corolla and Tundra production underway
Fri, 02 Aug 2013After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 2014 Tundra pickup has also segued into production in San Antonio, Texas.
Corolla production in Mississippi is still a relatively recent phenomenon, with the plant having begun assembly of the outgoing model in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Toyota's Cambridge, Ontario plant has been churning out the compact volume king since 1988. Conversely, the Tundra has been in production at the Texas facility since 2006, and Toyota projects that the plant will build its milestone one-millionth new vehicle in September, right around the time the reworked fullsize pickup goes on sale.
