             * 1986 TOYOTA Celica SUPRA "P" *

                                 (Last Year MK II)

 

Before you and up for bid is my 1986 TOYOTA SUPRA "P" (performance) sport model hatchback.  These cars are of significance in automotive history.  The particulars of the Supra are as follows:

*  One adult owner, purchased new from Alamo Toyota in San Antonio,Texas.  Owned & driven for 27 years in Austin,Texas, then stored and occasionally driven in Colorado, these past 2 years.

*  Low mileage for the year, only 172,118 actual miles.

*  CARFAX certified NO ACCIDENT history, ownership & miles.

*  A SOLID Texas car, guaranteed to be ZERO RUST.  When considering the purchase of one of these Supra's, the most important aspect for one to look for is RUST.  By virtue of inherent "drainage design" issues, these cars were notorious for rust in specific areas.  Observe the pictures of the quarter panels, rockers, spare tire compartment, under the doors, and the rear hatch lip, the car is rust free.

*  A garaged & pampered, non-smoker, no pets, food or beverages.

*  All original, it has never been in any accidents, nor has it has been restored. Overall, the car is in very good condition.  The paint is original, and therefore after 27 years of Texas sun, thin on the hood and roof.  It also has some clouding along the sides.

*  The interior has been very well preserved.  I would rate it a 9 out of 10.

*  Black over black/gray interior, this is considered to be the best color combination.

*  Inline Twin Cam 6 cylinder engine, produced 161 horsepower in this last year. (160 in 1985) Factory stock, never modified or abused.

*  These MK II Supra's, as they are known, were manufactured between 1982-1986.  Fully imported from Japan.

When considering one for purchase, the choice is personal as to whether a first  or last year is better.  In the case of 1986 Supra's, ALL 1986 models were leftover 1985 models titled as 1986 models.  Toyota's delay of the introduction of the MK IIl Supra is this cars reason for being.  There are clearly not many true (titled) 1986 models.  They are therefore, quite rare.  Production date code of August, 1985.

To distinguish a 1986 from a 1985 model, one need only look to the rear of the car.  For in 1986, the government saw to the arrival of the mandated third brake light.  It is mounted beneath the rear deck spoiler.  Once the 1986 model arrived during mid year, it was the redesigned MK lll, and indeed those cars were titled as 1986.5 vehicles.

*  5- Speed manual transmission, shifts fine through all gears as well as into reverse.  The clutch is fine.

*  Full power, windows, mirrors and locks, they all operate properly.

*  Cruise Control

*  Factory Power Sunroof, fully operational forward and back, no leaks.

*  Toyota factory AM/FM/Cassette w/graphic equalizer, it still plays fine.

*  Power antenna, works properly

*  Very good carpets throughout

*  Good headliner, no sags or tears

*  Near perfect dash, there are two small splits at the windshield, they are very narrow and only run a couple of inches each, (see pic) no warping.  "Dash Mat" protective cover.

*  The front seats are in good condition, they slide properly, are supportive, and show little wear, the drivers side support bladder's and inflation hand pump operate properly.

*  The rear seat was generally folded down and saw minimal use, it is in great shape.

*  Leather wrapped steering wheel w/tilt feature, showing only slight wear at the bottom position. 

*  Factory AC, presently it is not blowing cold, it has not been retrofitted.

*  Excellent heat, defrost, ventilation, etc.

*  All buttons, switches and control knobs are present, there is nothing broken or missing.

*  Excellent Supra factory aluminum alloy wheels, they do not have any curb rash.

*  Full size original spare alloy, in new condition, as it has not been used, the original Dunlop tire is present along with the original jack and tire tool.

* BFG T/A radials (4) these were purchased at the same time, they have approximately 50% tread wear remaining.

*  Original owners manual, service records, supplemental operational pamphlets and keys are included.

*  All original Toyota glass, no windshield cracks or chips

*  All gaskets and weather stripping are soft & pliable

*  Nice door panels, the drivers side arm rest has two small nicks

*  Nice rear panels

*  Nice console, the armrest storage lid has been reupholstered, the courtesy remote map light Toyota built into the console is still present.

*  Emergency brake works great

*  The interior panels rear panels were removed to detail the car, are all in excellent condition, no broken tabs anywhere.

*  The rear hatch carpet is in excellent shape, no fraying, tears or fading.

*  Hatch and hood strut cartridges operate properly

*  Rear hatch retractable cargo shade is present and in good shape

*  Other than the aged paint, at 29 years of age, the car still looks good and drives great, it goes down the road effortlessly at 75, and stops assuredly.  It is still a very tight car. 

*  The car runs strong, cylinder compression is between 148-155, mechanically, it is very sound, there are NO annoying drips or leaks.

I removed the seats, console and rear panels to thoroughly clean the carpeting.  I also photo documented the interior with the aforementioned parts removed, so as to illustrate that the car is indeed RUST FREE!

Recent service included new NGK plugs and wires, fresh fluids, (oil and coolant)and filters.  The belts and hoses are recent, there are also extra Toyota belts that will be included.

*  All safety features, horn, lights, directionals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc., are fully operational

*  Both headlights operate properly in unison.

*  This car has so much potential, firstly, because it is rust free, secondly, because it has never been wrecked.  It would be easy to take it down to metal, put a quality paint job on it, then drive and enjoy it.  An inexpensive and iconic classic sports car, it receives comments most everywhere it goes.  

It is also a great candidate for an ITS racer or drift car.  These cars are becoming increasingly rarer in this condition, being rear wheel drive, many were converted for racing purposes. 

As with most Toyota's, these cars are known for their excellent drivability and reliability. 

You are bidding to purchase the Supra, not to be the first to look at it.  Please have your funding in place prior to placing your bid.  Thank you.

Inspections are welcome and will be facilitated to the best of my ability prior to the auction concluding.

The car and I are located in the Colorado Springs vicinity.

Transportation and or delivery is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

I believe that the car could be driven home safely to anywhere in America.  If you choose to fly in and drive home, I will gladly pick you up from the airport in Colorado Springs.

Trailered delivery is possible in the lower 48 states for $1000.00 (non-negotiable)  I can also recommend a reputable shipper for you, if needed.  If you choose to ship the car, I will coordinate with your chosen shipper.

I have set a fair & reasonable reserve for the Supra.  Please don't ask what it is.  Bid what you can afford and are willing to pay for the RARE and RUST FREE last year 1986 Toyota Celica Supra that you see before you. 

A $1000.00 initial payment is due within 24 hours VIA PayPal.  The balance is then due and payable within 7 days thereafter under condition and arrangement made between myself and the buyer.

I prefer a legitimate bank to bank wire trasfer for the balance, as it provides a documented record of the transaction for both parties.

I will accept PayPal for the balance, however, ONLY if the buyer pays ALL PayPal related fees including the intial payment fee. (approx. $30 per $1000.00)

The car and title will not be released until payment in full has been received.  Clear Colorado title.

If you are new to eBay, have 0% feedback, less than 10 eBay transactions, or excessive negative feedback, you will need to CALL ME prior to placing your bid and express your intentions.  Otherwise, your bid will be cancelled and you will be blocked from further bidding.  This simple guideline is in place to protect the integrity of the auction from individuals that bid on items, win auctions, and then fail to fulfill their purchase commitment(s).  Thank you.

I answer my phone quicker than I respond to e-mail.  If you have any questions, call me directly.  If you reach my voice mail, leave me a message and I will return your call promptly.

Ebay provides for 24 pictures.  I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the car.  If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them.

If you would like to present a "buy it now", call and present your offer.  DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?"  (Be thinking in the $5-$6 range)

Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence.

I am not a dealer, I am a collector/hobbyist.  My plan was to restore the Supra, however, I recently underwent shoulder surgery which affected my timeline.  In turn, another project is ready to be undertaken which requires the space presently occupied by the Supra.

I strive to thoroughly and accurately represent the condition of a vehicle.  Those that have purchased my cars are consistantly pleased with their vehicle, their expectations exceeded.  Continued 100% eBay customer satisfaction is of importance to me.

Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid!

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.

Ford only automaker to make 2012 Buzz Rankings, Toyota most improved

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Ford landed itself a spot among the top 10 brands in the 2012 Buzz Rankings. The annual index scores 1,100 brands in 41 categories to determine which nameplates had the most positive buzz throughout the year.
For the third year in a row, Subway took the top honors overall with a score of 40.3, and Ford was the only automaker to break into the top 25 by earning a sixth-place finish overall. The manufacturer earned a score of 32.1 points, which was enough to push it up one spot from the 2011 Buzz Rankings. Honda managed 21.2 points overall, which is still well behind 25th-place Kohl's at 26.5 points. Toyota, Volkswagen and BMW all round out the top five automakers.
The 2012 Buzz Rankings also keep track of which brands improved the most over the past year, and this year, Toyota was the manufacturer with the largest leap forward. The Japanese automaker jumped from just 14 points in 2011 to 20.5 in 2012. Chrysler, Kia, Dodge and Volkswagen all saw sizable steps forward as well. Be sure to head over to the Brand Index site for more information.

Vote to unionize Toyota Canada plant faces delay

Fri, 04 Apr 2014

Volkswagen isn't the only automaker with high-profile unionization efforts afoot at one of its North American factories. Unifor, Canada's largest private-sector union, is attempting to organize Toyota's factories in Ontario, reports Reuters. A vote was originally set for next week, but Unifor has apparently found more workers eligible to vote, delaying the proceedings. It hasn't rescheduled the ballot yet, but claims there are 7,500 employees with the right to vote, with over 3,000 having already signed union cards.
Toyota is pushing against organizing, saying that workers already have a payment and benefits near the top of the industry, and noting that it has never laid off a permanent employee in Canada. Unifor has reportedly countered by saying that about a quarter of the workforce is operating under a temporary contract, which receives lower benefits.
The automaker has three factories in Ontario - two in Cambridge and one in Woodstock. To form a union, a majority of eligible employees must vote to join Unifor. If successful, they would be the first wholly owned Toyota plants in North America to be organized. Previous attempts to unionize the Japanese automaker's Canadian factories in 2001 and 2008 failed due to lack of support.
