For Sale: 1983 Toyota Celica Supra.

This vehicle is becoming very rare on the streets. It was Toyota's top Luxury Sports car and is loaded with many features which were cutting edge in 1983.

Features:

 2.8 liter inline-6 cylinder DOHC engine. 5Speed Manual transmission, Speed-sensitive power rack and pinion steering. Four wheel disc brakes. Independent Rear Suspension. Limited Slip Differential. Interior features factory Recaro bucket seats, 8-way adjustable for the driver. Automatic Climate Control, Power Moon Roof, Cruise Control, basically, Power "Everything".

Current Condition of the Car:

The a/c blows cold, and has a brand new Toyota brand compressor with a fresh charge of freon. The power windows both roll up and down....a little slow sometimes. The Cruise did work a while back..didn't the other day. Could be simple fix ? The power moon roof works, radio annt..goes up and down fine. The radio has been replaced with a Sony CD player and some 6x9 boxes in the luggage area.

The engine runs great and is very smooth and quiet. I drove this car from Washington DC to Tucson  AZ back in September without a single problem! I had it checked out first and replaced the front brakes and did a tune-up at that point. The tires are fairly new BfGoodrich TAs and have lots of life left.  The five speed and the clutch engage solidly and the brakes are fantastic. I got an average of 24 MPG on that trip averaging around 80 miles per hour. (3000 miles in four days!) It is an enjoyable car to take on a road trip.

Modifications:

The exhaust has been replaced from the cat-convertor back and has a Magnaflow twin-tip canister that is just a bit louder than grandpa likes and perhaps not loud enough for teenagers. Also, the car has been lowered about 1.5" on high quality Suspension Technique Springs made in Germany. This car handles very nice and rides smooth without any bouncing around like you might expect a lowered car. It also has an aftermarket cone-style cold air intake setup. No other modifications I know of.

Why I am selling:

I have two of these cars and have chosen to keep the other one. Got to make room in the driveway.

Things You should know:

The paint work is not too good. Good enough for a driver, but not for showing off. The shifter is sloppy, but there is NO issues going in and out of gears. A bushing replacement will cure that problem. The a/c blows ice-cold, but there is some sort of problem in the dash that won't allow the air to come out to the front vents. It blows up on the windshield and down on the floor only. The timing belt and a head gasket were replaced years ago, but I don't know when that was. There is no issue, just good to check that out soon. The car burns a little oil like any 30 yr old car. It doesn't have any clicks or clatters or disturbing noises though, and runs super quiet except for that exhaust out back.

There is nothing to keep you from driving this car home. Even long distances, however: I must say :it is a 30 yr old car and anything could happen. Your choice.

Just a cool classic Japanese Grand Tourer to enjoy  and care for! Please ask any questions through e-bay and if you are serious about the car, you can ask for my number.. Thanks and Good Luck Bidding!

US Congress lets $8,000 hydrogen vehicle tax credit expire

Mon, Dec 22 2014

When Toyota introduced the 2016 Mirai last month in preparation for a launch late next year, it said that the hydrogen car will have a $57,500 MSRP and that there will be a federal tax credit available worth up to $8,000. The problem, as we noted at the time, is that that federal credit was set to expire at the end of 2014. The technical language of the current rule says that someone who buys a fuel cell vehicle, "may claim a credit for the certified amount for a fuel cell vehicle if it is placed in service by the taxpayer after Dec. 31, 2005, and is purchased on or before Dec. 31, 2014." With the 113th Congress now finished up for the year and legislators headed home for the holidays, we know one thing for certain: the federal tax credit for hydrogen vehicles was not updated and will end as we're all singing Auld Lang Syne next week. All of this isn't to say that Mirai buyers won't be able to take $8,000 off the price of the car 12 months from now. For proof of that, we only need to look at other alternative fuel tax incentives and realize that this Congress simply isn't moving fast enough to deal with things that are expiring right now. One of the last things that the 113th Congress did in December was to take up the tax credits that expired at the end of 2013 and renew some of them. Jay Friedland, Plug In America's senior policy advisor, told AutoblogGreen that PIA and other likeminded organizations worked with Congress to extended the electronic vehicle charging station (technically: EVSE) tax credit that was part of the Alternative Refueling Tax Credit in IRS Section 30(C) through the end of 2014. "Individuals can deduct 30 percent of the cost of purchasing and installing an EVSE up to $1,000; businesses, 30 percent up to $30,000," he said. "This tax credit is applied to any system placed into service by 12/31/14 and is retroactive to the beginning of the year. So go out and buy your favorite EV driver an EVSE for the holidays," he said. An electric motorcycle credit was killed at the last minute as Congress was getting ready to leave, but H.R. 5771 did extend the Alternative Fuels Excise Tax Credits for liquefied hydrogen and other alternative fuels. These sorts of tax credit battles happen all year long. In July, Blumenthal introduced the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Infrastructure Act of 2014, which never got out of the Finance Committee. Back to the hydrogen vehicle situation.

2018 Nissan Kicks vs other tiny crossovers: How they compare on paper

Wed, May 9 2018

Update: As we now have now driven the 2018 Nissan Kicks and have all the specs and figures available, we thought it was time to update this comparison post. The data chart has been updated with final Kicks information as well as changes to competitors made for 2019. Anyone else have "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People stuck in their heads? Well, you do now. I couldn't be the only one. Anyway, the 2018 Nissan Kicks is a thing. It replaces the Nissan Juke, which Mr. Stocksdale thought was a bad idea and Mr. Myself thought was a smart idea. Nevertheless, neither of us were especially pumped up by the Kicks. However, the majority of car buyers are all about SUVs, and this littlest segment of them has been multiplying like Tribbles in the past few years. The Juke was one of the first of these subcompact crossovers, but it was probably too oddball for a mainstream audience (not to mention inefficient) and never really caught on. Newer competitors certainly didn't help. Well, to see how the Kicks compares to those very competitors, lets fire up the Autoblog Comparo Generator 3000 (TM). Specifically, we'll be looking at those subcompact crossovers with similarly small dimensions, especially low prices and/or a disinclination to offering all-wheel drive. We're talking about the Nissan Kicks vs the Toyota C-HR, Hyundai Kona, Kia Soul, Honda HR-V and Jeep Renegade. Now, if you're interested in literally the exact opposite SUV segment, check out our recent Mercedes G-Class comparo. Otherwise, on to the spreadsheet: Dimensions and passenger space In terms of exterior dimensions, the new Kicks is right smack in the middle of the segment. It's virtually the same as the Honda HR-V, yet manages to eek out a few extra cubic feet of cargo space behind its raised back seat. The Honda and its "Magic Seat" still beats it in terms of maximum capacity, but it sure is close. The Kia Soul has the biggest maximum number, but that's largely the result of being a box. Its small behind-the-back-seat cargo number is likely a better indicator of how much you'll be dealing with on a day-to-day basis. And in that day-to-day way, the Kicks is excellent. Backseat legroom seems to be a Kicks downside, as all but the C-HR surpass it. (Seriously, it's almost impressive how large the C-HR is on the outside but cramped inside.) However, the Kicks' tall greenhouse not only allows for ample headroom, but seats that are mounted high off the ground.

2020 Toyota Highlander vs other 3-row crossovers: There can only be one!

Fri, Dec 20 2019

We've done quite a few spec comparison posts involving three-row family crossovers, and when included, the Toyota Highlander has always been the runt of the group. While the rest increasingly seemed to be benchmarking each other toward greater girth, the Highlander was the outlier.  That changes a bit for the 2020 Toyota Highlander, but only a bit. It's now larger and more competitive, specifically in regards to the amount of cargo space aft of the third-row seat. As you can see below, this aligns the Highlander most closely to its long-time competitor the 2020 Honda Pilot. However, let's see how it stacks up to others in the segment, which is heavily populated now, so for the sake of space, we've selected the newest entries: Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Subaru Ascent and Ford Explorer. The order in which they are presented is random.  Performance and fuel economy The 2020 Highlander is more than 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, but has the same 295-horsepower V6 engine that was already one of the strongest in the segment. We'd say that would give it a leg up, but the Pilot and Explorer have proven to be sprinters, delivering 0-60 times in the low-6 range by some publications' stopwatches (or VBoxes, whatever). We don't expect the Highlander to beat them, but it may dip into the 6's. The heavy, less-powerful Subaru Ascent is most likely to take up the rear. It's fuel economy of 23 mpg combined also matches the Highlander and Explorer for segment-best. Remember, however, that the Explorer's turbocharged inline-four engine is likely more susceptible to differences in driving style (read: a heavy foot).  Of course, if you're really interested in fuel economy, the Highlander and Explorer are the only vehicles in the segment to offer hybrid versions. The Ford Explorer Hybrid puts a greater emphasis on performance, however, resulting in lower estimates of 25 mpg combined (AWD) and 28 mpg combined (FWD). By contrast, the new 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is estimated to return 36 mpg combined.  Passenger and cargo space According to Highlander chief engineer Yoshikazu Saeki, he had a choice of two directions with the new Highlander. He could have indeed made it bigger, matching these very competitors, especially in terms of third-row and cargo space. Or, he could have maintained a smaller-than-average size. He obviously chose the latter. First, it was the size customers had come to expect. Would they be put off by something bigger?
