1986 Toyota Mr2 on 2040-cars
Las Cruces, New Mexico, United States
For sale-- 1986 MR2 black automatic (rare) with sunroof, rust-free. $4500 Original condition. Stock. Minor modification to exhaust for better tone. MR2s in this shape are destiny to be classics. Car drives precisely and feels like a giant go-cart. I love these first generation MR2. I've had six and now have an red 1989. See photo. The car has only 121k miles-- that's less than 5K miles per year. The exterior is an excellent condition. See photos. As I said, it is rare to find a rust-free, non-modified first generation MR2 like this one. I know, I have had several first generation with rust in the wheel wells and hinges on the engine bay, trunk and front storage area. Excellent interior condition. See photos. Black and white Recaro-style cloth seats only available for early model MR2s. No excessive wear; dash and door panels are near-perfect-- no cracks or sun damage. See photos. Brand new tires with excellent supercharger rims. Recent work done includes: new battery, new alternator, new timing belt, thermostat, water pump, new slightly modified muffler system, new hoses, new spark plug wires, new Kenwood stereo, and four brand new tires. A/C works well. Transmission is strong. All electronics work well. No power steering or power windows like the sports cars of old. The asking price reflects over $3000 recently invested. If you deduct that figure from the asking price, you're basically paying $1500 for the car itself. Those are repairs and upgrades you won't have to make when the car arrives. You won't even need tires either. Because of it's age, the car is being sold AS IS. This car will not last long on E-Bay in this condition and at the that price. I have a 100% feedback rating for 89 transactions on E-bay. I have bought and sold a number of cars on the site. Check my reviews. |

Toyota recalling 1.9M Prius models globally for software update
Wed, 12 Feb 2014Toyota has announced a set of voluntary recalls covering 960,000 Prius, RAV4, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 models in the United States to address two separate issues. Worldwide, Toyota will have to recall a total of 1.9 million Prius cars.
The Prius recall affects about 700,000 2010-2014 models in the US, due to a fault in the motor/generator control ECU and hybrid control ECU software. It says that the current software could result in high temperatures on certain transistors and possibly damage them. When it fails, the error forces the car into failsafe mode. Toyota says that in rare circumstances, it could even shut the hybrid system down while the car is being driven.
Toyota spokeswoman Shino Yamada told Automotive News that the software update should take about 40 minutes, and dealers would start to be notified about affected vehicles today. She also told them that the first reported glitch occurred in May 2011 in the US when the system overheated and the car entered failsafe mode. The affected cars were built between March 2009 and Feb. 5, 2014, according to Automotive News. Toyota says that it has received no reports of accidents or injuries caused by either fault.
HQ move based on study, not pitch from Gov. Perry, Toyota says
Tue, 29 Apr 2014Toyota's surprising announcement on Monday that it will move its North American headquarters from Torrance, CA location to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX is allegedly not due to any political wrangling from the state's Republican governor, Rick Perry.
Perry (above) has been up front in his aggressive pursuit of businesses and jobs for Texas, traveling to California, Missouri, Illinois and New York to tempt corporations to his state. And it's not just about the promise of much lower taxes, a Perry spokesman reminds Automotive News that the state boasts, "a workforce that is skilled and ready to do any job."
For his part, Jim Lentz, Toyota's North American CEO said Plano was chosen through an internal process, with the location helped by its proximity to the company's massive pickup factory in San Antonio rather than any campaigning from the governor.
4th-gen Toyota Prius production delayed by 6 months
Mon, 30 Jun 2014If you were holding off buying a new car in anticipation of the fourth-generation Toyota Prius arriving in 2015, your wait might be a little longer. Company insiders are claiming that production of the bestselling hybrid is being pushed back from spring to possibly as late as December 2015. Toyota is reportedly still making alterations to make sure everything is just right before it unleashes the all-important, efficient hatch on a waiting public.
According to unnamed sources speaking to Automotive News Europe, the main reasons for the delay aren't completely known. It's believed the engineers are still working on making the hybrid powertrain more efficient and improving the new Toyota Global Architecture modular platform. The insiders claim that the final production prototype of the Prius is still under development, and it might be November before it's finalized. From there, it usually takes around 12 months to tool up and for the first car to roll off the assembly line. It would be another year after that before the plug-in variant starts assembly. The national manager of Toyota Product Communications, Michael Kroll, told AutoblogGreen, "As you might expect, we can't comment on future product plans."
Despite the delay, some potential details have already emerged about the new hybrid. A company spokesperson recently told Autoblog via email that Toyota is engineering the next-gen Prius to have smaller, more power-dense electric motors and greater thermal efficiency. The new modular platform is also rumored reduce weight, and the changes could lead to a targeted 10 percent improvement in fuel economy.
