1986 Toyota Celica Gt Only 121k Original Miles 5 Speed Manual on 2040-cars
Orange, Virginia, United States

I bought this car about a month ago to fix up a bit and drive. In the meantime I went out of state and while I was out of state, a friend decided to buy a NEW car and offered me their old Nissan Maxima at a good price. Therefore before I do anything or spend more money, this car is back on the market. It drives very well, the inspection is expired so when I drove it, it was on back roads with an illegal plate but it drives well, the A/C works and has already been converted to R134, there is a sticker in place. You can drive it now, the big worry is the radiator over a lengthy drive, if you replaced that it could drive anywhere. I DO NOT KNOW much about the history of the car other than what the AUTOCHECK says, so if you choose to drive it, you would need to check all fluids as you go to be careful. Probably towing would be better ( I borrowed a tow dolly and brought it about 100 miles myself to get it here) Other than a scrape on the passenger rear quarter and a needed clean up, the car is in remarkable aesthetic condition. Mechanically this is what I KNOW it needs ( it may need more BUT I am selling as is). This is what I know....it needs tires, a radiator, and the control for the hot/cold fixed in the dash ( right now it is a cable you move by hand to control it and it works that way}, I have NOT investigated what it needs back there to hook it back up. I have seen a couple of these cars on eBay for way more than I have this one listed. It may need other things as well, BUT I am being honest, I have not investigated more than what I have said, so I stress, I am selling as is no warrany. Text me with questions or more pics, or if you want to see it, I will be tied up all of July 4th, other than that, we can work something out for you to see it! It runs well, drives well, clutch seems strong. As I want to make clear, I bought it to fix up and drive, I am re-selling just because the Maxima I was offered was nicer and at a great price. I am pretty handy and have fixed up many 92-01 Camrys, this car and engine et al looked very similar, so I was was figuring with my labor, checking it over, fixing the dash temp control, getting a radiator, for under $400 I could fix it up and drive it for years ( that is with my doing the labor) then you have a great gas mileage little Toyota with only 121K. Until I got the Maxima, that was my plan! Anyway email me with any questions or if you want more pictures!!! Manual windows and locks, like I said it needs a good cleaning, but I have seen MUCH worse, it seemed pretty zippy on my short test drive, the clutch seems good, engine runs well. Hit the buy it now, the reserve is lower than the BIT but not by much, and for under a grand, you have a car that will a little tweaking, can last for years tp drive or for some one to learn to drive a stick shift!!! Nothing better than driving a manual I say, at least in country driving like what I do!

Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"
Toyota develops new pre-collision system with steering assist
Sun, 13 Oct 2013A number of automakers are working on developing fully autonomous cars, but it looks like the groundwork for such technologies will likely show up first as semi-autonomous systems for both safety and convenience. Following recent announcements from Nissan and Ford in this area, Toyota has now released information for some of its advanced semi-autonomous technologies that could be offered in production cars over the next few years.
On the safety front, Toyota's new pre-collision system with pedestrian-avoidance steering assist is aimed at protecting the folks who aren't in the car. This system combines visual and audible alerts with automatic brake assist and automatic steering. If warnings don't get the driver to slow down, the brake assist kicks in if a collision is very likely, but if that is still not able to avoid the impending collision (and if there is enough room to do so), the car can automatically steer itself around the pedestrian. This sounds most beneficial for last-second dangers such as a person accidently stepping out into the road in front of a car. Toyota hopes to have this technology available to customers by 2015.
The Japanese automaker is also testing a suite of technologies called Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA). The key part of this is a new adaptive cruise control system that uses vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications rather than a radar-based system. This cooperative-adaptive cruise control allows vehicles to communicate their acceleration and deceleration data with other cars, which Toyota says this helps to improve fuel efficiency and traffic flow. Also a part of AHDA is the Lane Trace Control feature, which sounds like a next-gen lane keep assist. This system uses cameras, radar and a computer to keep the vehicle in a "smooth driving line" by being able to change steering angle, engine torque and braking force. Toyota says this technology could be in place by the "mid-2010s."
