Up for sale is a black 1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo. I am the fourth owner, having owned the car for nearly ten years, and to this day, it still puts a smile on my face. There are many nice automobiles out there, but this is one of the few where you get it all: design, engineering, performance, exclusivity, and reliability! Under my ownership it has never been in an accident, always garage kept, never smoked in, and well-maintained. It has seen rain and even a little snow over the years, but generally was not driven in inclement weather. Exterior rates at a 7/10 and interior a 6.5/10; it shows very well for a car its age.

Background:

In June 2003, it was bought from the previous (third) owner. The car had been stolen from the second owner and the engine, transmission, seats, and door panels were stripped. The third owner bought the vehicle at an auction in March of 2001 (have copy of auction invoice) and over the next two years, rebuilt it with the help of his friend who at the time was the shop foreman at Rockville (355) Toyota. He used some parts (turbos, targa top, seats, and door panels) from a 1995 Toyota Supra and everything else including the engine, transmission, and rear struts were all purchased new from Toyota (have receipt copies he provided me).

Before purchasing, the car was thoroughly inspected at Koons Tysons Toyota and was in very good condition, with the only issues needing work were replacement of two tires, an alignment, and the right rear brake light was out. A compression and leak down test showed all cylinders were in the 140-155 lbs range (have receipt). After those checks, I purchased the vehicle and have been a proud owner since! The body currently has just under 114,000 miles while the engine and transmission have 81,00 miles (approximately 33k mile difference). In December, I brought it in for a 90k service which included replacement of the water pump, timing belt, fuel filter, fixed valve cover gasket leaks, drop pan and replace transmission fluid, and Mobil 1 synthetic oil, a service costing over $2000. This fine automobile is ready to go!

Known issues:

This Supra is mechanically sound, no leaks, smoke, etc. Other than that, here's a list of known issues:

Targa roof leak - known issue w/ Supras. Under heavy rain, the roof sometimes leaks in a single spot (driver-side), about a drop every ten seconds. To fix, the removable roof-lock strip may either need to be caulked (i.e., silicon seal) or replaced. This was not a big deal for me as I tend to not drive in rain and it does not occur all of the time.
Wheels - overall in good condition. On the passenger side, there are some minor curb rash areas. Additionally, passenger side wheels were used with a cleaner that added a light hazy like coating to the chrome finish.
Right side windshield washer nozzle does not stream fluid. Not sure if this is due to wax build up clogging the nozzle or some other issue, but not an issue for me as the fluid from the left nozzle does the job.
Scratches/ding/chips - The carbon fiber hood has a scratch near the driver-side headlight (see picture), and a small chip on hood edge. There are scratches on the front and rear driver side fenders as well as the right rear bumper. There is a door ding on the driver door. Overall finish is quite good for a fifteen year old car.
Missing seat slider on driver side - it must have popped off at one point but it does not affect operation/functionality of moving the seat back forward/backward
Trunk latch - in order to open the trunk, the trunk release handle needs to stay in the "up" position to release the lock
Radio antenna - the mast does not go up and down. Affects the reception of a few FM radio stations and all AM stations
Headlight beam cutoff - the OEM glass headlamps (imported from Europe) have a different beam cut-off pattern than stock headlamps, which have plastic lens, sold in North American Supras. The glass lens is more durable and functionally superior to the plastic lens (and work great with the HID's) emitting a brighter light, but the cut-off forces the beam to a shorter distance. This can be adjusted, based on owner preference, but it was never an issue for me.

-------------

Notes:

The vehicle is being sold as-is. I have made my best attempt to disclose all known information.
Have financing in-place. Do not use Buy It Now feature unless you intend to pay within the specified time frame
This Supra will be advertised on multiple sites, plus I will bring it to local car dealers for their best offers, so I may end the eBay listing if sold through another channel
Have most records/receipts of parts purchased and services performed
Always used Mobil 1 Synthetic oil
Has been to the track once (MIR in November of 2003)
I either wait or use the turbo timer to cool the turbos before shutting off engine
Boost is at stock levels for at least the past two years (to preserve turbo life)
When I had the performance parts installed in 2006, I dyno'd it: result was 332 rwhp on Mustang Dyno @ 15 PSI (prior to mods, rwhp was 255)
Have title in-hand; no liens

2014 Toyota Corolla debuts with more power, interior space

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

Depending on who you ask, the best-selling car in the world is either the Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla. Not surprisingly, Toyota claims it's the Corolla. Either way, we're talking around a million individual units per year, and over 40 million over the car's lifetime on the market, so the redesign of Toyota's compact sedan is big-time news for the Japanese automaker that it needs to get right.
The Toyota Corolla was last redesigned way back in 2008, meaning the 2014 model is a long-overdue update to the C-segment sedan. Its age shows when compared to newer rivals like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and the aforementioned Ford Focus when comparing technology features, fuel mileage and interior roominess. In an effort to solve those demerits, Toyota has added nearly four inches to the 2014 Corolla's wheelbase and will offer a new continuously variable transmission with seven simulated gear ratios.
Engine choices consist of two available 1.8-liter four-cylinder units, one with 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and another more efficient version that uses Toyota's new Valvematic technology to offer 140 horses and 126 lb-ft of torque. Eco and Sport modes will be selectable by the driver.

Lexus GX, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado facelifts leaked

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

The Lexus GX and the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, which isn't sold in the US, have gone without visual updates since the current generation was launched in 2009. But what appear to be patent filing sketches and pictures of the sibling sports utility vehicles' mid-cycle updates have been leaked on a Russian Land Cruiser Club forum.
Major changes to the GX's front end will be made to incorporate Lexus' signature grille. Gone are the awkwardly shaped headlamps and the soft-looking triple-slat grille. The sketch shows the Lexus with a new bumper, lower-profile headlights and a more aggressive, angular grille with one more slat and a gaping lower air-intake opening. The vehicle's profile looks unchanged, but the rear bumper will be reshaped slightly to fit new, better-integrated horizontal reflectors.
The Toyota gets a handful of styling updates as well, including a new front bumper with higher-profile headlamps that look a bit out of place to us. The Prado's profile also looks unchanged, but the rear end gets restyled taillights and a reshaped license-plate enclosure.
