Rare 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo *no Reserve* on 2040-cars
|
Very Rare practically all original Gray Metallic 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa with only 113k original miles. This is a 5-speed manual transmission 3.0L Inline 6 Cylinder Turbo. Only 1193 of the 1992s were produced, and only 1174 being in the United States. This car is very rare car being fully loaded while including the original window sticker as proof of the options. Some of the rare options are a full leather interior package, and an extremely rare sub-woofer. In 1992 Toyota changed the leather interior packaged cars to a nice dark grey (almost black). The sub-woofer was also only offered in 1992. The exterior of the car is in very good shape a solid 9/10. You will know this car has been garaged most of its life when you see it. The interior is in equally great shape. The motor has recently had the head gasket replaced and fitted with ARP studs to once and for all end the head gasket issue that plagues these cars. *Please note that the gasket in this car was never blown prior to the new gasket* During the head gasket change a multitude of maintenance parts have been replaced like the water pump, plugs, ignition wires, all the gaskets from the head up including new turbo gaskets, thermostat, etc..The timing was done at 100,000 miles (13,000 miles ago). This motor runs very well and very strong, as well as the turbo. The drive-train is also in good shape. The previous owner whom I bought the car from was a car dealer in Texas, he used the car as a personal car for a short period of time. During the time he owned it he changed out the gauge cluster bulbs to a red color. This can be reversed to the original color without much effort. The car is on a rebuilt title. To the best of my knowledge Texas is very strict on branding titles, and will automatically brand it a rebuilt/salvage title just for going through an auction. The car has been in an accident many years ago, and the previous owner purchased it at an auction (I'm assuming a dealership only auction). So that hints to me why its a rebuilt title. Because the car drives amazing and straight you would honestly never know it was a rebuilt title, nor would anyone else who will ask you about it. This is a solid car and I wouldn't be asking what I'm asking for it if I didn't know how nice this car looks and drives. I hate to sell it but its time to move on. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call or text Jacob @ 870-866-0319 I'm available between 10am-12pm MST. |

Toyota nearing $1B settlement of unintended acceleration criminal probe
Sun, 09 Feb 2014According to those all-too-nebulous "people familiar with the matter," Toyota is close to a settlement with the US federal government to end a criminal probe over its long-running unintended acceleration fiasco. Though Toyota has never admitted guilt, the deal could reportedly crest a billion dollars and would likely include a criminal deferred prosecution agreement, and while we're not legal experts, The Wall Street Journal explains that such a deal would "[force Toyota] to accept responsibility while avoiding the potentially crippling consequences of federal criminal convictions."
The report from WSJ also suggests that Toyota is facing charges that it "made false or incomplete disclosures" to various government agencies regarding possible defects to its cars. Such charges may include mail and wire fraud violations. Toyota has already paid out fines totaling $66.2 million to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because it failed to report safety defects in a timely manner.
This deal with the federal government is not related to the billion-dollar class-action settlement reached with Toyota owners over falling vehicle values, and it's also different from the roughly 400 lawsuits still in courts alleging personal injury of wrongful death due to cases of unintended acceleration. In other words, don't expect to hear the end of such courtroom verdicts and settlements anytime soon...
Toyota recalls 4,000 Tacoma pickups over valve springs
Thu, 07 Nov 2013When you build as many cars and trucks as Toyota does, you're bound to run into the occasional recall. In the past month alone, the Japanese auto giant has recalled over 800,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza models over problems with the air-conditioning units, and 10,000 more before that over windshield wiper issues. Now Toyota has issued another recall notice, but this time for far fewer vehicles.
The recall revolves around the engine valve springs in the 2013 and 2014 Tacoma, specifically those fitted with the standard 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine and not the optional 4.0-liter V6. The issue is that the valve springs are prone to cracking and breaking over time, and results from improper maintenance of the manufacturing equipment used by one of the two suppliers that outfit Toyota with the components in question.
All told, some 4,000 vehicles will be subject to the voluntary recall, the owners of which will receive notice by mail. If you think that could be you and want to get a jump on the problem, you can read the announcement below and call Toyota yourself.
Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models
Wed, 30 Jan 2013The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.
