 For Sale is a rare 87 Toyota Corolla Sport SR5 Coupe 2-Door AE86 1.6 L Gas SOHC.

The engine was replaced 43,000 miles ago in 2005 along with many parts under the hood. Around the same time it got a new paint job (of the original color) and rust repair. In 2008 the windshield was replaced and is in excellent condition. The interior, as you can see, is also in excellent condition. The original radio has been replaced with a CD player /pocket and the back and front speakers have been replaced as well. Other than these few audio modifications and engine replacement no other major modifications have been made to the car and she is all original. The car lights function perfectly. The heating and A/C works but the vent changer is stuck on forward facing vents. The cruise control doesn't work.

Since 2005 it was used until 2007 when it was put into storage for almost the entire year while I was abroad. Then from 2009 to 2013 it was stored again while I went abroad a second time.
As expected from an engine with only 43,000 miles, it runs great, starts up right away, gets up to speed fast and rides smooth.

The vehicle has a clean title and no liens. All major and minor work was paid off when completed.

All receipts and documents for work done to the car since it was bought used by me in 2003 is still available, including the engine replacement and paint job mentioned above.

This car was lovingly used for the majority of 11 years but now it's time for me to move on and put this rare vehicle into the hands of someone who can continue caring for it.

As for knocks against the car, there is a bit of rust around the back wheel wells and on the driver's side front wheel well and a bit on the passenger side front wheel well. Other than this the exterior is in great condition. The dash is cracked in several places and there is a hole on the driver's side seat that has been patched.

The car has been very reliable and I would expect it to continue to run great.

The vehicle is about an hour away but I am in Kansas City. If you are serious about the car then I will drive it up to show you. I'm open to negotiations. If interested please contact me and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

Toyota Camry re-earns CR 'Recommended' rating following crash tests

Thu, 19 Dec 2013

All is right again in the Toyota kingdom. The Japanese manufacturer's bread-and-butter sedan, the Camry, has been put back on Consumer Reports' "Recommended" vehicle list, following improved performance in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's crash testing.
You'll recall that the 2012 and 2013 Camry were infamously booted from the list due to "Poor" ratings in IIHS' notoriously tough small-overlap crash testing. Toyota vowed - just last week actually - to fix the ratings. As the Toyota brand's head, Bill Fay, said last week, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
Now, though, those redesigned cars have been tested, earning an "Acceptable" rating in the overlap testing. According to Consumer Reports, Camrys built from November 2013 on feature new internal structures that improve the car's crash test scores enough to make it a "Recommended" buy. IIHS has also elevated the car back to a position in its Top Safety Pick category, although it falls short of the new gold standard, the Top Safety Pick + rating.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
