Up for sale is my very original and beautiful 1983 Toyota Celica Supra P (performance) Type.  It is getting very difficult to find an original paint, unaltered and unmolested car of any kind anymore and especially this generation of sporty cars from Japan. Most of them have either rusted away or were rode hard and put up wet, or worse yet now seeing duty as drifter cars.  This car is wearing it's original coat of Terra Cotta paint and is completely rust free.   Some of you ebay aficionados may recall seeing this car here on ebay a few months ago.  Without boring you with a bunch of useless nostalgia dribble I would like to tell you why this car is in my possession. As a fifty something year old who has always had an interest in things with 4 wheels I have been restoring, collecting and occasionally buying and reselling classic and unique cars for a number of years now.  My primary interest has been in Pony Cars of the sixties and seventies.  In December of 1981 I purchased a brand new and just introduced 1982 Supra P type exactly like the one you see here.  The Supra had won Motor Trend's  Import Car of the Year award for 1982 and all of the car magazines were raving on about the car.  Each of them featured a Terra Cotta P type Supra on their covers so when I saw one show up on the showroom of my local Toyota dealer I had to have it.   Approximately one month after I purchased the car the car was totaled when I was struck by a drunk driver.  As a young newly married man with a new job and a new baby I was pressured not to replace the car with another sports car so I bought a Cressida instead.  Loved the Cressida but always had a soft spot in my heart for my "first sports car" so when I saw this car on ebay I had to have it.  I have  enjoyed driving the car the last couple of months getting plenty of thumbs up and "what is that?" questions but I got my needed dose of nostalgia.  I would love to keep the car but I have come to the realization I don't have space for the car at this time.  I am out of garage space at the house and a have a wife who is going to kill me if I don't free up a space for her driver.   I am currently keeping the car at a storage facility about a mile from my house.

As far as this car goes here is what I can tell you.  As you have probably figured out, I am not the original owner.  The car was originally purchased by a gentleman in Cuddebacville NY on March 30, 1983 from Toyota City Inc. in Mamaroneck NY.  He is the only titled owner.  I have the original title that was signed over by him in April of 2012.  I have not reassigned the title and is still open.  If you purchase the car you will be the second registered owner. Apparently he was fanatic about this car as it was stored in an environmentally  controlled garage  it's entire life and never driven in bad weather.   It has 61K miles showing and I am absolutely positive this is original per the condition of the car.  The car was undercoated and Ziebarted when purchased.  There is no evidence the car has ever been an any collision and is wearing 100% of it's original paint which looks beautiful.   The interior is also showing very little wear with the exception of the console lid.  The original floor mats are with the car and pictured here.  Even the drivers floor mat is still nice.  The car runs like a Swiss watch and drives out fine. I am still amaze at the build quality of Asian cars especially Toyotas of this era.  The car is as tight as it was new with no squeaks or rattles.   The A/C is currently not working but all the components are there including the belt. I haven't had time to put gauges on it to check for leaks but I would bet that it would blow cold with a charge of R12.  All power accessories work fine including the sunroof.   Only two other things that will need attention in the future is the gas gauge and the clutch.  It goes into gear fine and shifts fine but it is obvious to me that the clutch is nearing the end of its life(normal wear)

I have the original window sticker for the car ( $ 16,523) and original dealer brochures.     I have owned all generations of the Supra with the exception of the first one is still my favorite.  While this car is not perfect it is wouldn't take much to make it one.  I have priced the car with a fair Buy it Now price with a reserve that is lower and also very fair for a car of this caliber.  If there is something not covered in the description or not represented by the pictures, please feel free to contact me by sending a message through ebay.  I will respond promptly.  Good luck and happy bidding!

2014 Toyota Highlander to start at $30,075*

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We now have pricing for Toyota's redesigned 2014 Highlander, which is seeing moderate price hikes across the board. Prices for the popular crossover have been bumped from less than 1 percent to less than 3 percent on lower-end models (anywhere from $125 to $890, depending on trim). Toyota has increased prices on higher-end XLE and Limited models more substantially - between 4.1 and 4.5 percent ($1,480 to $1,700). The Highlander Hybrid sees its price increase 2 percent ($930). The new model will be available in four different trims and with either front or all-wheel drive.
The absolute cheapest member of the Highlander range, the base LE, with a four-cylinder and front-wheel drive starts at $30,075, an increase of just $195. The LE is also available with a V6 and all-wheel drive, with the bigger engine upping the price to $31,380. All-wheel drive models start at $32,840. A slightly pricier LE Plus starts at $33,600 for a V6 FWD model and $35,060 if you add all-wheel drive.
Next up, we have the XLE, which starts at $36,900 for FWD models and moves up to $38,360 for AWD. The top-tier Limited model starts at $40,500 in FWD spec, grips-at-all-fours versions will retail for $41,960. For those that want the very top of the Highlander range, there's the Platinum Pack, which adds the Driver's Tech Pack (adaptive cruise control, pre-collision warning, lane departure warning and automatic high beams), a panoramic moonroof, heated steering wheel and heated second-row seats to the already well-equipped Limited model. Highlander Platinums start at $42,990 and $44,450, depending on how many tires are doing the work. (Note: All prices include an $860 destination and handling charge.)

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal

Wed, 24 Jul 2013

Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.

Autoblog Minute: UAW and FCA avoid strike, Clarkson teases new show

Fri, Oct 9 2015

FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. A UAW strike of FCA was avoided thanks to a zero-hour tentative agreement reached this week. Worker concerns that were renegotiated in the new [00:00:30] deal include adjustments to the two-tier wage scale, health care costs, and production outsourcing. Now check-in with Autoblog as we update our reports on this evolving story. Shooting began on Amazon Prime's new automotive show starring the former Top Gear crew. That's Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Now Clarkson threw out a tweet from day one of filming on location at Algarve Motor Park in Portugal. The picture features the show's [00:01:00] three stars and crew posing with the holy trinity of hyper cars. That's a McLaren P1, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and a Porsche 918 Spyder. This Prime show is being called Gear Knobs though the name is unofficial. Now if a tweet is any indication of what we can expect, who cares what it's called this is gonna be awesome. (Eds Note: Clarkson tweeted Friday that the show will not be called Gear Knobs.) Toyota predicts drivers could be obsolete on highways as early as 2020, with technology dubbed the Toyota Highway Teammate or THT. Toyota is using a modified [00:01:30] Lexus GS to show what this is capable of. THT is already able to create a driverless freeway car that's capable of changing lanes, making passes and taking curves. Plus, it can keep safe distances from other vehicles. Toyota is currently testing this on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. And I'll have some added insight on the BMW M4 GTS. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. [00:02:00] Show Logo Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.
