Rare 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo *no Reserve* on 2040-cars

Year:1992 Mileage:113000 Color: of the car is in very good shape a solid
Location:

Very Rare practically all original Gray Metallic 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa with only 113k original miles.

This is a 5-speed manual transmission 3.0L Inline 6 Cylinder Turbo.

Only 1193 of the 1992s were produced, and only 1174 being in the United States. This car is very rare car being fully loaded while including the original window sticker as proof of the options.

Some of the rare options are a full leather interior package, and an extremely rare sub-woofer. In 1992 Toyota changed the leather interior packaged cars to a nice dark grey (almost black). The sub-woofer was also only offered in 1992.

The exterior of the car is in very good shape a solid 9/10. You will know this car has been garaged most of its life when you see it. The interior is in equally great shape.

The motor has recently had the head gasket replaced and fitted with ARP studs to once and for all end the head gasket issue that plagues these cars. *Please note that the gasket in this car was never blown prior to the new gasket* During the head gasket change a multitude of maintenance parts have been replaced like the water pump, plugs, ignition wires, all the gaskets from the head up including new turbo gaskets, thermostat, etc..The timing was done at 100,000 miles (13,000 miles ago). This motor runs very well and very strong, as well as the turbo. The drive-train is also in good shape.

The previous owner whom I bought the car from was a car dealer in Texas, he used the car as a personal car for a short period of time. During the time he owned it he changed out the gauge cluster bulbs to a red color. This can be reversed to the original color without much effort.

The car is on a rebuilt title. To the best of my knowledge Texas is very strict on branding titles, and will automatically brand it a rebuilt/salvage title just for going through an auction. The car has been in an accident many years ago, and the previous owner purchased it at an auction (I'm assuming a dealership only auction). So that hints to me why its a rebuilt title. Because the car drives amazing and straight you would honestly never know it was a rebuilt title, nor would anyone else who will ask you about it. This is a solid car and I wouldn't be asking what I'm asking for it if I didn't know how nice this car looks and drives.

I hate to sell it but its time to move on.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call or text Jacob @ 870-866-0319 I'm available between 10am-12pm MST.

130,000 Toyota Tundra pickups recalled over airbag issue

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Toyota is announcing a recall for about 130,000 examples of the 2014 Tundra Tundra pickup in Crew-Max Cab and Double Cab configurations.
According to the company, the "garnish on the center pillars" inside the trucks might not have been installed correctly. If the vehicle were in an accident, the side curtain airbags could deploy in the wrong shape. Toyota says that it's not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this potential problem.
To fix the issue, the pickups will have their interior center pillars inspected, and if faulty, the pieces will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. Scroll down to read the full announcement.

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."

Details about next-gen Toyota Prius emerge

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

The Toyota Prius is undeniably the king of the hybrid market in the United States, with a 39.4 percent market share in 2013. With the next-generation Prius likely to go on sale in 2015, Toyota is trying to build an even more efficient hybrid to keep its control of the market.
Keeping cost down will be one of the major concerns of the new Prius. The next generation will ride on the new, modular Toyota New Global Architecture platform. The lighter underpinnings will improve efficiency and will reduce production costs by allowing for more shared components among vehicles. Toyota will not reveal how many vehicles will use the new platform. But even with the cheaper platform, price will remain a concern. Toyota is still deciding whether all versions of the next Prius will use lithium-ion batteries or whether some models will stick with the heavier nickel-metal hydride batteries to keep cost down.
Of course, the reason most people buy the Prius is because of its great fuel efficiency. Toyota will aim for at least an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy in the next Prius, which would increase it to 58 miles per gallon city and 52 mpg highway.
