Year:1989 Mileage:48000 Color: The factory original
Location:

Chandler, Arizona, United States

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.

Toyota headed to New York with 2014 Highlander, revised Scion tC

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Toyota has given us a look at what the company will bring to the 2013 New York Auto Show. Visitors will get to set their eyes upon the all-new 2014 Highlander, and while the automaker isn't saying much in the way of details, we do get the teaser you see above (click to enlarge) to ponder on until next week. The image shows little more than a headlamp and a bit of grille, but gives us the flavor of what the crossover will bring to the table.
Scion, meanwhile, says it plans to dust off the "new 2014 tC sports coupe." While we don't imagine the two door will have undergone a major surgery, we're interested to see what the automaker has cooked up. The tC last endured a redesign in 2011. Check out the brief press release below and look for the vehicles to bow on March 28.Y

Ford predicts it will finish 2013 as top-selling US brand

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

Ford is ready to call the ball on its 2013 sales totals, predicting a first-place finish for units sold in the US for a single brand. The company anticipates selling more than 2.4 million vehicles when all vehicle sales over the last 12 months have been tallied, repeating the victory it trumpeted over Toyota last year.
According to Ford's accounting, it sold 329,677 more vehicles than did Toyota in 2012. This year, the Blue Oval expects that margin to grow; through the end of November, Ford says it has outsold Toyota by 396,041 units.
Retail sales of Ford products are projected to exceed 1.7 million units for 2013 (the best retail result in 6 years for the company), with passenger cars accounting for 600k of that total. The redesigned Fusion is expected to crest the 290k mark, and the Fiesta is said to be ready to hit a model-record of 70k-plus. Meanwhile, utility vehicles and trucks are still paying a lot of bills in Dearborn, with the new Escape racking up an expected 300k sales and F-Series trucks chugging along at 688,810 units sold thru November.

Watch this video diary of a 900-hp Toyota Supra build

Sat, 08 Jun 2013

If you've ever looked at a car with nearly 1,000 horsepower and wondered why anyone needs that amount of thrust, you may want to take a look at the video below. In it, one gentleman details his descent into Toyota Supra madness, starting with a pristine factory example and stumbling down the rabbit hole of modification. What makes this particular clip interesting is just how honest the owner is as he explains the evolution of his car. He doesn't just prattle off a list of parts like he's reading the menu at an IHOP.
Instead, he painstakingly pulls us through the car's growth, detailing each iteration and what pushed him to the next stage of the build every time. From this point of view, it looks less like someone walked into a shop and lit a massive stack of $100 bills on fire and more like a quasi-logical progression of events. Or at least it does to me. You can check out the build in the video below, complete with plenty of Fast and the Furious references and racing. Win, win, win.
