Incredibly Clean '89 Supra Sport Turbo With 5spd And Only 48k Original Miles!!! on 2040-cars
Chandler, Arizona, United States
Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original red on gray leather manual transmission 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo with a Targa roof and the optional Sport Suspension Package. See below for a complete description of the car. I have a small private collection of sports cars from the 80's/90's and I have maxed out my storage location thus need to sell a car every time I buy one. In this case, I purchased a Buick GNX (on eBay) last week which has always been a dream car for me, but it means another car must go. The only reason I am choosing to sell the Supra is that it has the highest mileage of the cars in my collection and I have driven it the most since I have owned it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the car...in fact, it is one of the cleanest in the collection irrespective of the miles. Please review the information below and contact me at 480-227-9850 if you have any questions.
Car History: I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Louisiana. It was previously in Illinois with the original owner for most of its life. Prior to buying it, I spoke to the original owner to understand the complete history since new and was happy to learn it was always in the care of an enthusiast. The original owner informed me of an incorrect mileage entry in 2001 which showed up on the CarFax report I ran. All the information and documentation provided confirmed this was simply an error. The car has zero rust, dents, or body work, and the paint is original and is truly impressive. Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Supra Sales Brochure, Window Sticker, and what appears to be Factory Build Sheets (in Japanese). The OEM Targa removal tool, jack (never used), and three keys are included as well.
Engine: The 7M GTE 3.0L V6 Turbo engine is a true classic with good power and legendary reliability. The engine is completely stock and is rated at 232HP and 254TQ. Mated with a slick shifting 5 speed transmission, the car is a joy to drive. I have driven this car on several 300 mile trips and am amazed at how smooth the engine is. Even at 25 years old, it has plenty of power and cruises comfortable above 80mph for hours. The engine compartment is fully detailed and looks like new.
Maintenance: Since I have owned the car, I have had all four brakes and rotors replaced, new fuel filter installed, and all fluids changed. As with the previous owners, only Synthetic motor oil, Royal Purple Transmission and Differential Fluid has been used. The brake lines were replaced in 2012 as was the turbo seals and manifold gasket which had a minor leak, all with OEM parts. Everything else is original and the engine is currently in excellent running condition.
Exterior: The factory original "Super Red" paint is really amazing still with only a couple stone chips on the hood. The previous owner installed a 3M clear bra to prevent more chips. The Targa roof panel is in as new condition as are all the trim pieces. The glass is original and free of marks (except VIN etching). The wheels match the rest of the car and are in excellent shape. Tires are Toyos and have less than 2,000 miles on them. All lights and signals work perfectly.
Interior: The interior is also amazing shape and looks/feels like new. The Gray leather is a fairly rare option and looks great with the red exterior. The leather is in great condition and shows little wear. In fact, only the driver's seat exhibits wear and it is minor...limited to the bolster and a scratch on the thigh support (see pic). The dash, bezels and interior trim is perfect and all gauges and lights work as new. The car has its original factory radio cassette with slave CD unit. The system works great but the display on the head unit is dim and difficult to read.
Misc.: The car has its original A/C system which works perfectly. Heat and defrost also work without problems. The Supra is equipped with optional equipment including Anti-Lock Brakes and the Sport Package which includes the electronic modulated suspension system (TEMS). This system features a "normal and "sport" option keypad on the center console and works as new. The leather seats were also an option as was the carpeted floor mats which are still in great shape.
Auction Details: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours via PayPal. Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending. If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed. The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249. Thanks for your interest in my Supra and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Asian automakers still reluctant to use more aluminum
Tue, Jun 24 2014There's a logical progression of technology in the auto industry. We've seen it with things like carbon-ceramic brakes, which use to be the sole domain of six-figure sports cars, where they often cost as much as an entry level Toyota Corolla. Now, you can get them on a BMW M3 (they're still pricey, at $8,150). Who knows, maybe in the next four a five years, they'll be available on something like a muscle car or hot hatchback. Aluminum has had a similar progression, although it's further along, moving from the realm of Audi and Jaguar luxury sedans to Ford's most important product, the F-150. With the stuff set to arrive in such a big way on the market, we should logically expect an all-aluminum Toyota Camry or Honda Accord soon, right? Um, wrong. Reuters has a great report on what's keeping Asian manufacturers away from aluminum, and it demonstrates yet another stark philosophical difference between automakers in the east and those in the west. Of course, there's a pricing argument at play. But it's more than just the cost of aluminum sheet (shown above) versus steel. Manufacturing an aluminum car requires extensive retooling of existing factories, not to mention new relationships with suppliers and other logistical and financial nightmares. Factor that in with what Reuters calls Asian automaker's preference towards "evolutionary upgrades," and the case for an all-aluminum Accord is a difficult one. Instead, manufacturers in the east are focusing on developing even stronger steel as a means of trimming fat, although analysts question how long that practice can continue. Jeff Wang, the automotive sales director for aluminum supplier Novelis, predicts that we'll see a bump in aluminum usage from Japanese and Korean brands in the next two to three years, and that it will be driven by an influx of aluminum-based vehicles from western automakers into China. Only time will tell if he's proven right. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Sean Gallup / Getty Images Plants/Manufacturing Honda Hyundai Mazda Nissan Toyota Technology aluminum
Toyota launches Pixis Space; first kei cars are Daihatsus in drag
Fri, 09 Sep 2011Toyota has announced that it will unveil its first-ever kei car to be sold under its recently launched Pixis sub-brand. The vehicle, called the Pixis Space, will make its official debut in late September. Based on the Daihatsu Move Conte, the Pixis Space will be sold at Toyota dealerships through what the automakers calls "Pixis stations." Yes, seriously.
After Toyota's version of the Daihatsu Move Conte makes its debut, the Japanese automaker will launch a Pixis-badged Daihatsu Hijet truck and microvan in December. By the end of 2012, Toyota says it will launch a Pixis version of the upcoming Daihatsu e:S - a vehicle that returns 70.6 miles per gallon (U.S.) as measured under Japan's JC08 test cycle.
In case you weren't aware, Daihatsu - Japan's oldest manufacturer of automobiles - operates under the control of Toyota. In other words, these Pixis machines are simply badge engineering at the kei level.
Toyota, Mazda get an Alabama welcome for $1.6 billion plant
Wed, Jan 10 2018MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Toyota and Mazda confirmed Wednesday they will build a $1.6 billion joint venture assembly plant in Alabama that will employ up to 4,000 workers, a boost for President Donald Trump who wants automakers to expand U.S. production. Toyota President Akio Toyoda and Mazda President and Chief Executive Officer Masamichi Kogai joined Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey in Montgomery at an event to confirm the decision. "Welcome to sweet home Alabama," Ivey said to the two executives, after saying that the anticipated 4,000 workers at the plant to be built in Huntsville would earn an average of $50,000 a year. The plant will produce 300,000 vehicles a year and should open on a 2,500-acre former cotton field in 2021, about 14 miles from Toyota's engine plant in Huntsville. Toyota plans to build Corolla cars at the plant, while Mazda will build crossover SUVs. "Together, I am confident we will create yet another 'Built in America' success story," Toyoda said. Alabama will provide tax incentives. Officials said the state tax incentives were worth $370 million, but they did not disclose how much the local incentives were worth. Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle said the plant will "provide jobs for decades to come for Huntsville and Alabama. It vaults Alabama to the top as an industry leader in producing the next generation of cars that will power our nation." Among U.S. states, Alabama is already the fifth largest producer of cars and light trucks. The state has more than 150 major auto suppliers and 57,000 automotive manufacturing jobs. Two decades ago, Alabama spent an estimated $250 million to woo Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz to put an auto plant in Tuscaloosa, sparking the birth of auto production in the state. In September, Daimler said it would invest $1 billion to expand its Alabama Mercedes-Benz plant to start building electric sport-utility vehicles there from about 2020. Alabama is also home to assembly plants operated by Honda and Hyundai. A Kia assembly plant operates near the Alabama border in Georgia. Mazda and Toyota said they still need approvals and authorization by antitrust agencies for the new joint venture. They announced a capital alliance in August and plans to jointly develop technology for electric vehicles. Trump tweeted in March he wanted "new plants to be built here for cars sold here." Many automakers have announced expansions of facilities or new jobs but no other new U.S. auto plants have been announced. U.S.
