Here's your chance to own an adult driven, unmolested and pampered Supra; that is, it has not been put to the pavement with aftermarket performance accessories.  I believe this to be a 3-owner car. The 2nd owner, a fellow professional chemical engineer, purchased the car in 1997 and sold it to me in 2003 and I have owned it ever since. This cars' purpose was to be a get-away weekend cruiser for me and my wife which is why I bought a N/A (naturally aspirated) model rather than the pricey turbo model.

The car is factory original; all I added was an OEM spoiler from a factory supra, aftermarket wheels and 1" lowered front springs.  I reupholstered the front seats approximately 8 yrs ago which are in 10 of 10 condition as we speak.  The rear seat and the rest of the interior is factory original and is in excellent condition.  The front license plate holes have never been drilled which is a plus.  In the last month I had the car professionally mobile detailed: clay bar, machine buffed, hand wax, shampooed carpet, leather conditioner, engine bay, etc etc.  AC blows cold and replaced AC clutch approx 1,500 miles ago. Front windshield is chip and crack free.  It sits on NS Racing wheels with 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears with brand new MAXXIS tires with less than 200 miles.  I purchased the car with 131,492 miles June 30, 2003 and exactly 11 years later it reads 135,532.  However, the odometer has exceeded its mechanical limits and I have noticed it works sporadically.  A mechanic ran the codes resulting in a  "speed sensor" and EGR valve notification.  I have replaced the EGR valve and have spent ZERO seconds researching the speed sensor and how to fix it as I'm not that concerned about it.  In all honesty the car has been driven approximately 6,000 miles since purchased in 2003 with only 6-700 miles of that coming in the last 5 years.  It has been garage kept and covered most of the time I've owned it.  I recently bled the entire brake system to correct a spongy pedal (due to air in the system from sitting) and now works like new.  It has all the original VIN tag stickers on all the body panels.  Radiator just flushed and new coolant added.  Differential oil was replaced a few years back.  Good news: NO white exhaust smoke on start up (white exhaust smoke is common for Supras indicating worn valve stem o-rings).  

Needs:  The antenna broke when left up at a car wash.  I have another complete OEM antenna and motor that will be included in the purchase for installation.  The rear hatch struts have lost their compression so the hatch will not stay up unless held.  The front speaker foam surround has dry rotted.  Paint is flaking in small area around front hood emblem and under left headlight.  One small rust spot above right rear tire where window rubber meets the hatchback glass surround.  Car is pretty much dent and door ding free.

I just completed a home construction expansion and this is my ticket to help paying myself back.  I guarantee the car description to be exactly as stated above listing all positives and negatives of which I am aware. This car also qualifies as a Classic car through Hagerty which my insurance only runs couple hundred year as long as not a primary driven vehicle.  I will store the car at no charge to allow buyer to arrange for pickup if paid in full.  Title is in my name free and clear.  Anything I missed or more questions don't hesitate to contact me...281-865-2262. -James

Scion trying to build business case for FR-S convertible as Subaru bows out

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

Hope may remain for a convertible version of the Scion FR-S, according to a report from Ward's Auto. You'll recall that rumors were swirling about the feasibility of a rear-drive Toyobaru convertible as early as October, and that back in November, Subaru - which makes the FR-S, Subaru BRZ and Toyota GT86 - essentially nixed the idea of an open-topped variant.
"We make the car, so if we don't make it, it can't happen," brand chief Yasuyuki Yoshinaga told Automotive News, according to Ward's, at the Tokyo Motor Show. "Our engineering department told me that losing the entire roof requires a complete redesign of the structure. It would need a big change."
Despite Yoshinaga-san's arguments against a droptop variant, Toyota is apparently still considering the model. Speaking to media at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, Scion's US vice president, Doug Murtha, hinted that the rear-drive droptop was in the works.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.

Toyota will invest $210 million to expand West Virginia engine production

Sun, Feb 21 2021

WASHINGTON — Toyota is investing $210 million to expand engine production in West Virginia and add 100 new jobs. The Japanese automaker said it would boost capacity by 70,000 engines a year at the Buffalo, West Virginia plant, up from the nearly 1 million transmissions and engines it produces annually for vehicles assembled in North America. The investment will increase assembly capacity of its four-cylinder engine line. The plant makes four- and six-cylinder engines for Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Lexus ES, Lexus RX350, RAV4 and Sienna. The investment comes as automakers around the world are shifting more focus to electric vehicles and away from vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. Toyota says hybrid vehicles, which includes internal combustion engines, will be a key part of its vehicle strategy in the coming decade as other automakers focus more heavily on battery electric vehicles, which only run on electric power. Toyota said last week that 16% of its U.S. sales were hybrid vehicles in 2020, a figure that will jump to at least 20% in 2021. Related Video:
