Location:

Chandler, Arizona, United States

Chandler, Arizona, United States

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 makes $100M investment to boost Indiana Highlander production

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

Toyota has announced that it will be making a $100 million investment in its Princeton, IN factory in a bid to increase production of its popular Highlander CUV. The move will create 300 new jobs by 2016 and increase the total number of crossovers the plant can produce by 30,000.
Toyota currently builds the Highlander, alongside the fullsize Sequoia, at Toyota Indiana's West Plant. The additional capacity, though, will be sent to the East Plant, which is currently responsible for production of the recently refreshed Sienna minivan.
"The Highlander has been a great product for our plant," Toyota Indiana President Norm Bafunno said in a statement. "Establishing Highlander as the 'bridge vehicle,' as we call it, between the East and West plants increases our ability to meet customer needs for our outstanding products. This exciting news is a true testament to the capability of our hard-working and dedicated team members."

Toyota GT86 CS-R3 rally car presages for-sale customer racecar

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

Rallying may enjoy a very strong association with all-wheel drive, but it wasn't so long ago that the World Rally Championship was populated by cars that slipped and slid across gravel and tarmac using rear-wheel drive. One of those was the Toyota Celica. While the little Celica eventually joined the gravel-spewing masses with an all-wheel-drive rally car, Toyota is returning to its rear-drive rally roots with a modified version of the critically acclaimed GT86.
Called the CS-R3, the new model boasts all the necessary changes to turn the diminutive twin of the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ into a car capable of tackling the tough, twisting paths that are so routinely conquered by the world's rally cars. That means, of course, the CS-R3 has gotten a power bump.
Expected output sits between 240 and 250 horsepower, thanks to a new racing exhaust and manifold, as well as other changes. The ECU has been replaced with an item a bit more suited to racing, while the compression ratio has also been adjusted to boost the output.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.
