1993 Toyota Mr2 on 2040-cars
Elkhorn, Wisconsin, United States
|
I bought this car from my cousin a little over a year and a half ago, he bought it off the showroom floor brand new, in 1993. His wife died of cancer and the car was stored since then in his garage in Ohio. My uncle faithfully started this car at least once a week to keep all systems working. I've always wanted one of these. Since owning my own restoration shop for years I decided to give it the overall mechanical treatment to make sure it was reliable. I am A.S.E and I-Car certified. Ive put 6000 miles on it driving cross country a few times. (Im 6 foot 6 and it is extremely comfortable, I also have back problems but not driving this car). When I bought it I replaced , tires, brakes, starter, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, coil, starter relay, wires, plugs, air and oil filters, and battery. Eight speaker pioneer HD cd player was installed in original factory holes with no modifications or cutting of dash or interior. I have the original cassette to be included with purchase. The factory color shines like new, I give it a once a year hand polish and carnuba wax to keep it protected. There is a scratch on the left quarter panel that only penetrates the clear coat, there is minor color peeling on bottom of front lower bumper cover, normal from high parking blocks, and minor damage around the antenna. NO RUST. any other small imperfections in the body are not worth mentioning. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10, no burns or fading or obvious wear on seats etc. The leather cover on shifter handle should be replaced. Recently the water pump went out taking the timing belt with it. I have no place to work on it in winter, but I have a mechanic that will fix it for 200 to 250 labor and The parts come as a kit on E Bay for approx. 120 dollars. I am buying a house here and I hate to part with this great car, but I need the money. If I cant sell it as is, I will wait and fix it and the price will go up to what it is really worth, at least 7500 dollars. I will sell it one of two ways. With a 1500 dollar deposit, and by adding 500 dollars to price, I will have the water pump fixed and then you can pick it up, or as is with a 1000 dollar deposit. the deposit is to remove it from listings, and is not refundable. before you take the vehicle all money must be paid, either way, it is being sold as is with no refunds. THIS CAR IS ALREADY CLASSIC AND IS VERY DESIREABLE AND HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, mid engine rear wheel drive it handles like a race car and still gets 33MPG. Buyer is responsible for transportation.

2014 Toyota Highlander recalled over seatbelt anchors
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Toyota has announced a small recall of its redesigned, 2014 Highlander over issues with one of its seat belts. The affected vehicles, which were built from November 20, 2013 to January 18, 2014, could have a seatbelt assembly in the middle seat of the third row that wasn't properly secured to a floor anchorage at the factory.
In total, 7,067 of the new Highlanders are included in the recall, which was discovered not after a crash, but during a post-build inspection at the factory. It's unclear if there have been any injuries as a result of the faulty seat belts.
Toyota is set to inform owners of the affected vehicles as well as dealers with the recalled Highlander models in their inventory. Naturally, repairs will be performed free of charge. For the full bulletin form the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, scroll down.
How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
Why Toyota Camry's Korea Car of the Year win is a big-time upset
Tue, 26 Feb 2013The 2013 Toyota Camry is officially the car of the year in Korea. The country's motoring press graced the Japanese sedan with the honor for the first time, officially marking a shift in prevailing Korean attitudes toward Japan and its products. According to industry analysts, buyers in the country are no longer simply choosing their purchases based on whether or not they're made in South Korea, but rather based on quality and personal choice. That's a big jump from a few years ago, when buyers viewed their purchases through a patriotic lens.
The Camry managed to edge out a total of 44 other cars, including hardware from both Hyundai and Kia, to become the first foreign vehicle to take home the Korea Automobile Journalist Association's Car of the Year award. As The Detroit News points out, just 10 years ago, domestic manufacturers held some 99 percent of the Korean car market. But a change in trade regulations has opened up the country considerably, and buyers now have access to a wide range of products from around the globe. As a result, Hyundai and Kia have countered by cutting prices in an attempt to keep their grip on the market.
