Take a look at this very rare and clean 1985 Toyota Celica GT-S convertible!

On very rare occasions I come across a car as clean and collectible as this one!  I am a used car dealer based in Philly, PA and buy New Car Dealer trades as they come in and wholesale or retail them on my lot.

This is a blast from the past and a great collectible Toyota since they only made 4,248 from what I could find in my research.

This vehicle has plenty of life left in it and is originally a Florida car according to the title and only has 120k miles on it.

I drive every vehicle before offering them for sale so I can point out anything that is not original or may need to be looked at by the next owner.

It drives great, handles well, clutch and brakes feel good, no noises, no smoke, no taps and appears to be garage kept all it's life. It looks just as it would if it were new! I am not sure if all the paint is original but if it isn't they did a very professional job of respraying it, it has no over spray anywhere and shines like new.

The interior is very clean and there are no rips in the seats or door panels. However it looks to have had an aftermarket head unit and had speakers in the factory location in the rear panel behind the door.  They were removed prior to trade in. **SO THERE IS NO RADIO, NO SPEAKERS**.

It has an aftermarket alarm by Auto Page, I have one remote and one key to with the car.

The Top looks like it was replaced recently and is in excellent shape, and is of quality material with a headliner.

Unfortunately the power top is not working I am not sure if it's a switch or fuse, but there is an extra power top motor in the trunk and few extra relays I believe are for the top. **Good news is you can easily put it down by hand!**

The tires are like new, the factory rims are like the day it came from the factory!

There is a factory donut spare in the trunk, and an owners manual in the glove box.

So let's go over what I know needs attention, these are all minor issues in my opinion.

1.Power top does not operate (top can be lowered manually)
2.Power mirrors are not working (could be a fuse)
3.Does not have a radio
4.Has a hairline crack in the windshield (same windshield as regular Celica about $120 installed from just about any windshield place)

That's about it, one other thing it has an aftermarket muffler on it that actually sounds really nice, not too loud, very sporty. Does *NOT* sound like a ricer fart can.

I just put a new battery in it.

All around it is a very nice car that in my opinion of driving it could effortlessly make a drive to Florida and back!

Ok, Auction Time!

Please ask all questions before placing a bid, if you want more pics I will be happy to take a specific pic or for you. I drove the car for 2 days with no problem and it's a pleasure drive!

I am not a mechanic, but it seems mechanically sound, hey it's a TOYOTA they are practically bullet proof!

I would like this auction to go as smooth as possible, I have perfect feedback because I describe my items accurately as possible. Just keep in mind I may have overlooked something that you may feel is important and to me was minor.

The car is being sold AS-IS no warranty, guarantee expressed or implied, etc. its a 1985!

Bid with confidence this is a NO-Reserve auction, it has a clear PA Title and will be sold to the highest bidder!

I do not charge any doc fees or etc, if you need an In-Transit tag you can purchase one for around $60 at the local notary. I don't carry them since I don't sell many vehicles out of state.

A $500 non refundable deposit is due immediately at the end of the auction and I will allow 7 days to pick up the vehicle after the auction unless we agree on something else. The vehicle will be available for pickup or viewing in person thursday,friday and saturday 10am-5pm only. Those are my business hours.

The balance will be due at time of pick up in cash only within 7 days.

Good Luck bidding and again please ask me questions before bidding!

Thanks,

Rob.

Zombie cars: Discontinued vehicles that aren't dead yet

Thu, Jan 6 2022

Car models come and go, but as revealed by monthly sales data, once a car is discontinued, it doesn't just disappear instantly. And in the case of some models, vanishing into obscurity can be a slow, tedious process. That's the case with the 12 cars we have here. All of them have been discontinued, but car companies keep racking up "new" sales with them. There are actually more discontinued cars that are still registering new sales than what we decided to include here. We kept this list to the oldest or otherwise most interesting vehicles still being sold as new, including a supercar. We'll run the list in alphabetical order, starting with *drumroll* ... BMW 6 Series: 55 total sales BMW quietly removed the 6 Series from the U.S. market during the 2019 model year. It had been available in three configurations, a hardtop coupe, a convertible and a sleek four-door coupe-like shape.   BMW i8: 18 total sales We've always had a soft spot for the BMW i8, despite the fact that it never quite fit into a particular category. It was sporty, but nowhere near as fast as similarly-priced competitors. It looked very high-tech and boasted a unique carbon fiber chassis design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, but wasn't really designed for maximum efficiency or maximum performance. Still, the in-betweener was very cool to look at and drive, and 18 buyers took one home over the course of 2021.   Chevy Impala: 750 total sales The Impala represented classic American tastes at a time when American tastes were shifting away from soft-riding sedans with big interior room and trunk space and into higher-riding crossovers. A total of 750 sales were inked last year.   Chrysler 200: 15 total sales The Chrysler 200 was actually a pretty nice sedan, with good looks and decent driving dynamics let down by a lack of roominess, particularly in the back seat. Of course, as we said regarding the Chevy Impala, the number of Americans in the market for sedans is rapidly winding down, and other automakers are following Chrysler's footsteps in canceling their slow-selling four-doors. Even if Chrysler never really found its footing in the ultra-competitive midsize sedan segment, apparently dealerships have a few leftover 2017 200s floating around. And for some reason, 15 buyers decided to sign the dotted line to take one of these aging sedans home last year.

Toyota reveals Tokyo Motor Show concepts

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Toyota is getting ready for the Tokyo Motor Show later this month, and to tease us, the Japanese automaker has released photos and information about the concept vehicles it'll be bringing to the show. In all, there'll be five world premieres from Toyota (six if you split the Voxy and Noah minivan concepts), including some vehicles that'll be released in the near future, and others that need more time to incubate.
Let's get the world premieres out first. Toyota is a pioneer of gasoline-electric hybrids, but it's also pursuing hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles. The clearest indication of this is the FCV concept, a hydrogen-powered sedan in the same vein as the the FCV-R that will bow at the auto show. (Read more about the FCV, here.)
Other world debuts include the FV2 concept (pictured), a unique, one-seat future vehicle that emphasizes the "Fun to Drive" philosophy; the JPN TAXI concept, a next-generation taxi concept designed with Japanese hospitality in mind; and the Voxy and Noah concepts, next-generation minivans that differ most in exterior design cues and are scheduled to launch in the Japanese market in early 2014.

Toyota prepped to spend $1.3B on plants in Mexico and China

Tue, Apr 7 2015

Toyota is getting set to expand its manufacturing operations in a big way, with a pair of sources reporting to Reuters that the company was preparing to make a roughly $1.3-billion investment to add two new factories in China and Mexico. If Reuters sources turn out to be correct and the company's upper management decides to greenlight the two new factories, Toyota's annual output would grow by 300,000 units per year. Two-thirds of the capacity would come from the new Mexican factory, where the company may produce the next-generation Corolla, due in 2019. That facility would be in the state of Guanajuato, in the central part of the country, the sources told Reuters. The Chinese factory, meanwhile, would likely be built in Guangzhou, and may become a source of Yaris production sometime in 2018.
