Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original red on gray leather manual transmission 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo with a Targa roof and the optional Sport Suspension Package.  See below for a complete description of the car.  I have a small private collection of sports cars from the 80's/90's and I have maxed out my storage location thus need to sell a car every time I buy one.  In this case, I purchased a Buick GNX (on eBay) last week which has always been a dream car for me, but it means another car must go.  The only reason I am choosing to sell the Supra is that it has the highest mileage of the cars in my collection and I have driven it the most since I have owned it.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with the car...in fact, it is one of the cleanest in the collection irrespective of the miles.  Please review the information below and contact me at 480-227-9850 if you have any questions. 


Car History:

I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Louisiana.  It was previously in Illinois with the original owner for most of its life.  Prior to buying it, I spoke to the original owner to understand the complete history since new and was happy to learn it was always in the care of an enthusiast.  The original owner informed me of an incorrect mileage entry in 2001 which showed up on the CarFax report I ran.  All the information and documentation provided confirmed this was simply an error.  The car has zero rust, dents, or body work, and the paint is original and is truly impressive.   

Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Supra Sales Brochure, Window Sticker, and what appears to be Factory Build Sheets (in Japanese).  The OEM Targa removal tool, jack (never used), and three keys are included as well.      

 

Engine:

The 7M GTE 3.0L V6 Turbo engine is a true classic with good power and legendary reliability.  The engine is completely stock and is rated at 232HP and 254TQ.  Mated with a slick shifting 5 speed transmission, the car is a joy to drive.  I have driven this car on several 300 mile trips and am amazed at how smooth the engine is.  Even at 25 years old, it has plenty of power and cruises comfortable above 80mph for hours.  The engine compartment is fully detailed and looks like new.    


Maintenance:

Since I have owned the car, I have had all four brakes and rotors replaced, new fuel filter installed, and all fluids changed.  As with the previous owners, only Synthetic motor oil, Royal Purple Transmission and Differential Fluid has been used.  The brake lines were replaced in 2012 as was the turbo seals and manifold gasket which had a minor leak, all with OEM parts.  Everything else is original and the engine is currently in excellent running condition.     

 

Exterior:

The factory original "Super Red" paint is really amazing still with only a couple stone chips on the hood.  The previous owner installed a 3M clear bra to prevent more chips.  The Targa roof panel is in as new condition as are all the trim pieces.  The glass is original and free of marks (except VIN etching).  The wheels match the rest of the car and are in excellent shape.  Tires are Toyos and have less than 2,000 miles on them.  All lights and signals work perfectly. 


Interior:

The interior is also amazing shape and looks/feels like new.  The Gray leather is a fairly rare option and looks great with the red exterior.  The leather is in great condition and shows little wear.  In fact, only the driver's seat exhibits wear and it is minor...limited to the bolster and a scratch on the thigh support (see pic).  The dash, bezels and interior trim is perfect and all gauges and lights work as new.  The car has its original factory radio cassette with slave CD unit.  The system works great but the display on the head unit is dim and difficult to read. 


Misc.:

The car has its original A/C system which works perfectly.  Heat and defrost also work without problems.  The Supra is equipped with optional equipment including Anti-Lock Brakes and the Sport Package which includes the electronic modulated suspension system (TEMS).  This system features a "normal and "sport" option keypad on the center console and works as new.  The leather seats were also an option as was the carpeted floor mats which are still in great shape.   


Auction Details:

A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours via PayPal.  Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending.  If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed.  All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed.  The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249.      

Thanks for your interest in my Supra and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Toyota's 'green bond' an industry first, quickly rises to $1.75 billion

Tue, Mar 25 2014

Toyota is greasing the skids for more green car purchases with the announcement of a $1.75-billion bond designed to finance the purchase of high-efficiency Toyota and Lexus models. The Asset-Backed Green Bond is a first for the automotive industry and is making a lot of money available to buy or lease the following vehicles: any of the four Prius variants, Camry Hybrid, Avalon Hybrid, RAV4 EV, Lexus CT 200h and Lexus ES 300h. Originally, the bond was set at $1.25 billion, but Justin Leach, manager of public relations for Toyota Financial Services (TFS), told AutoblogGreen that demand was high and it was quickly oversubscribed. TFS has been looking at more ways to diversify its portfolio after a Diversity & Inclusion Bond that was announced in early 2013 and, with the new Green Bond, TFS is offering something for the "number of investors out there who are looking for investment opportunities in green." The way the money from the bond is used, basically, is that TFS takes the $1.75 billion and uses it to finance the purchase or lease of the nine vehicles listed above. As of right now, all the eligible vehicles are plug-in or hybrids, but the rules simply say that the cars in the program have to meet certain "powertrain, fuel efficiency and emissions" criteria. That means: Minimum EPA estimated MPG (or MPG equivalent for alternative fuel vehicles) of 35 city / 35 highway California Low-Emission Vehicle II (LEV II) certification of super ultra-low emission vehicles (SULEVs) or higher, which would include partial zero emissions vehicles (PZEVs) and zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs). TFS raises plenty of billions in other ways for the rest of the lineup, and got into asset backed securities in 2010, Leach said. Given the success of this first Green Bond, Leach said he expects TFS to keep this idea in its arsenal. "This one was so well received, I would be surprised if we didn't see it again," he said. "If anyone was going to do it, it should be Toyota, right?" Toyota Financial Services (TFS) Issues Auto Industry's First-Ever Asset-Backed Green Bond Bond Proceeds to Fund Consumer Loans and Leases for Toyota's Leading Portfolio of Green Vehicles TORRANCE, Calif., (March 24, 2014) – Toyota Financial Services (TFS) issued the auto industry's first-ever Asset-Backed Green Bond in the amount of $1.75 billion.

eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:
