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

Car thief caught in McDonald's drive-thru after placing order with owner

Mon, 20 May 2013

If you're going to drive a stolen car in a town of roughly 77,000 people - about the same size as Scranton, Pennsylvania or Ogden, Utah - you want to be very careful about where you drive that stolen car to eat. That's the lesson Katherine York of Kennewick, Washington learned when she was arrested for being in possession of a stolen Toyota 4Runner that also happened to have a bunch of stolen clothes from JC Penney and Sears in it.
Virginia Maiden woke up Tuesday, May 14 to find her 1995 4Runner - that she thought she forgot to lock - swiped from her apartment building. At 3 PM that afternoon, while working her shift at the drive-thru at McDonald's that day, she saw her truck in line. York hadn't even gone far - the McDonald's is not even five miles from Maiden's apartment. Maiden called the police, they showed up just as York was leaving, and York made another vehicle switch, this time into a black-and-white for a trip to the Benton County jail. They don't have McDonald's there, but she won't have so far to go to eat.

How new car shortages may impact your buying experience

Wed, 04 Sep 2013

If you want further proof that the auto industry is bouncing back, look no further than the empty lots and forecourts of your local dealership. According to a story by The Wall Street Journal, continued high demand for mainstream cars is overtaxing automakers' ability to produce enough models. Several dealers interviewed for the story are reporting two-week supplies as opposed to the typical two-month allocations.
With sales expected to hit 1.4 million units when August numbers arrive shortly and incentive spending down to its lowest amount since January, these limited supplies are pushing prices even higher. For example, according to the WSJ, the average price of a Ford Fusion is up past $26,000. Unfortunately, it's difficult for manufacturers to increase production quickly. If it invests in its facilities, as many manufacturers have done, it risks wasting cash if growth suddenly slows. At the same time, the momentum gained over the past several years could be short lived if vehicle supplies continue to dwindle. "Manufacturers are in a precarious situation," notes Karl Brauer, a senior director at Kelley Blue Book.
Low interest rates and a wealth of desirable features are also allowing customers to purchase more expensive vehicles while justifying their higher overall price tags, a situation that is compounding supply shortages. Even now, during the annual end-of-summer clearance season, deals on new vehicles are remarkably difficult to come by. According to the report, the Toyota Corolla is in a self-inflicted state of shortage, as Toyota clears out inventory in anticipation of the new 2014 generation arriving in dealers. Ford's supplies should rebound as Fusion production comes on line at its Flat Rock, Michigan factory. The Chevrolet Impala, Honda Odyssey, Civic, and Accord and Subaru Forester are also facing shortages.

Unintended acceleration settlement hits Toyota's Q4 bottom line

Fri, 09 May 2014

Depending on how you want to look at things, the US Attorney's Office $1.2-billion dollar settlement with Toyota in March over its unintended acceleration recall was either a big blow to the company or completely inconsequential. From January to March, net income fell five percent to 297 billion yen ($2.89 billion), compared to 313.9 billion yen ($3.05 billion) a year ago. However, the automaker still posted record full-year profits worldwide.
Operating profit also fell in the US by 9 percent to $498.1 million for the quarter, but sales were up by 6 percent to 581,261 vehicles. According to Automotive News, global revenue was still up from January to March by about 13 percent and vehicle sales were up 6 percent to 2.58 million units.
However, the payment to the feds did little to hold the company back last year. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, Toyota had net income of 1.82 trillion yen ($17.7 billion), compared to 962.1 billion yen ($9.5 billion) in the last fiscal year. Total vehicle sales were also up.
