1986 TOYOTA MR2 SUNROOF, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FLORIDA CAR. I bought the car in 2008 in original, unmolested condition. I replaced the headgasket, timing belt, tires, muffler, brake rotors, tie rods, and moldings (eyelash and "C" pillar moldings with factory new one). I did not get the car registered till 2012, because I lived in Europe and I just moved back in 2012. The car still has the original paint except the bumper covers and rear trunk lid, because the paint was fading badly. After the paint job of the bumpers the factory stripes were reproduced and reinstalled to the bumpers. The rest of them are the original. No accident. The original paint has now started to fade on the front trunk and engine lid. There are 2 small dings on the right door and one crack on the rear bumper (see pictures). The paint looks better on the pictures then in real life. The car has some scratches (it is 28 years old). The interior is very nice and clean. The floor carpet and seats looks like new. Everything works and is original. I paid more than $ 350 (at the dealer) for the eyelashes and rear moldings. I believe those are not available anymore. The A/C works but not icecold. Still has the factory cassette player. It also has the factory case for the sunroof panel. The only thing that is missing the sunshade. Tires has 95% of the tread.
It can be your daily driver, but I believe the first series MR2s are one of the near future hot collectible cars. The MR2 is one the few classic/collectible car that is useable and enjoyable for everyday driving. Hard to find an unmolested original car in this condition. After a nice repaint it can be a showcar. Or you can keep the original paint because some collectors likes the original condition.
The trunk and interior looks almost new. No rust anywhere. I drove the car less than 1000 miles because I wanted to keep till it will be 30 years old.
I list the car only once (with NO reserve). If does not sell I'll keep it till it will be 30 years old. Yesterday I bought a manual transmission car from Arizona, and that is the only reason to sell.
I can help with shipping (usually around 40 cents/mile).
If somebody want to ship the car to Europe he can save the custom duties because it is already paid (custom fees and VAT). I paid when I worked in Europe.
The car is located in Sanford, Fl. You are welcome to inspect or test drive. Larry 407-558-5362

Toyota must go to trial over unintended acceleration suits

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

Toyota is surely readying its trial lawyers, as the Japanese giant is officially headed to court in a pair of cases relating to its unintended acceleration fiascos of 2009 and 2010.
In the first case, the United States Supreme Court has actually got involved in matters, ignoring an appeal from Toyota that attempted to use an arbitrator to settle its California lawsuits. The automaker will now go to trial to face owners of 2010 Prius models over an alleged defect with the anti-lock braking systems, which plaintiffs say made the cars more difficult to stop, according to Bloomberg.
The second trial is a bit more in depth, covering the case of Ida St. John, an 83-year-old from Georgia, that crashed her 2005 Camry in 2009. The accident is believed to have played a part in her death, although the suit, being filed by her grandson, doesn't actually place blame on Toyota for her death.

Toyota reveals new TS040 Hybrid LMP1 [w/videos, poll]

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

There's a new season of motor racing upon us, and while that doesn't always mean a new crop of cars in every series, in the case of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, that's exactly what it means. Porsche recently revealed its new 919 Hybrid and Audi its revised R18 E-Tron Quattro. Now it's Toyota's turn.
Revealed today at the Paul Ricard test track in the South of France, the new TS040 Hybrid is based on the TS030 Hybrid it replaces, redesigned to meet the latest regulations established by the FIA and ACO for the World Endurance Championship and its flagship race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In accordance with said regulations, the TS040 is two inches narrower than the TS030 and also incorporates a new hybrid powertrain.
The previous 3.4-liter V8 has been replaced by a 3.7-liter V8 developing 513 horsepower, and the new engine is coupled to an Aisin AW electric motor at the front, a Denso electric motor at the rear and a Nisshinbo super-capacitor that combine to kick out an extra 473 hp, giving the system a combined output of nearly 1,000 horsepower while consuming 25 percent less fuel than last year's car. It also gives the TS040 all-wheel drive to help channel all that power to the road.

Scion xB death sentence uncertain, minor updates announced

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

The last time we discussed the Scion xB and xD, in April of this year, it was to announce a report that both models were being killed. The vice president of the brand had said, "We don't have plans for a direct xB or xD replacement," but no date was given for the termination. Turns out rumors of their deaths have been greatly exaggerated: as part of a Toyota press release that summarized feature and pricing changes for 2013, the Scion xB was included.
The 2013 hatchback (above) gets a new front bumper and lower fascia with LED lighting, and the rear end gets a black diffuser. Stingray Metallic and Elusive Blue Metallic exterior hues will disappear, Absolutely Red and Nautical Blue Metallic will take their places. Inside will be light bronze metallic and chrome accents, as well as new seat fabric and the availability of the BeSpoke Premium Audio. It increases in price by $500, the manual costing $16,800, the automatic $17,750.
The xD (inset) has been left off the list and the Scion website it still hawking the 2012 car. But 2013 xD pricing and new features were announced earlier this year, the MSRP rising by $125 to $16,500. New equipment and options includes smoked headlight covers, more airbags and a two-tone paint job.
