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.

Carmakers ask Trump to revisit fuel efficiency rules

Mon, Feb 13 2017

Car companies operating in the US are required to meet stringent fuel efficiency standards (a fleet average of 54.5MPG) through 2025, but they're hoping to loosen things now that President Trump is in town. Leaders from Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota and VW have sent a letter to Trump asking him to rethink the Obama administration's choice to lock in efficiency guidelines for the next several years. The car makers want to revisit the midterm review for the 2025 commitment in hopes of loosening the demands. They claim that the tougher requirements raise costs, don't match public buying habits and will supposedly put "as many a million" jobs up in the air. The Trump administration hasn't specifically responded to the letter, although Environmental Protection Agency nominee Scott Pruitt had said he would return to the Obama-era decision. The automakers' argument doesn't entirely hold up. While the EPA did estimate that the US would fall short of efficiency goals due to a shift toward SUVs and trucks, the job claims are questionable. Why would making more fuel efficient vehicles necessarily cost jobs instead of pushing companies to do better? As it is, even a successful attempt to loosen guidelines may only have a limited effect. All of the brands mentioned here are pushing for greater mainstream adoption of electric vehicles within the next few years -- they may meet the Obama administration's expectations just by shifting more drivers away from gas power.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota i-Road and COMS in France, Tesla tours Northeast, EV attitudes in UK

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Toyota's i-ROAD and COMS teeny, tiny, city EVs are joining the Citelib carsharing fleet in Grenoble, France. The ultra-compact EVs, which will become available in October, are meant to supplement the Grenoble metropolitan area's existing public transit infrastructure, which includes trams, buses and trains. Toyota's i-ROAD and COMS will be connected to the transit systems IT infrastructure, allowing users to visualize their route on their smartphone or computer, and reserve and pay for their car before they get dropped off near the charging station (or the other way around). Then, the user finishes (or begins) their trip with one of the EVs. Surveys show that use of public transport is increasing in Europe, but most users still have to walk 15 minutes or so to reach their destination. Adding the i-ROAD and COMS carsharing service to their commute makes the trip into the city center quicker and more flexible, while keeping the air clean. See more below. Toyota is providing 70 vehicles to the Citelib program as part of a three-year test, while French energy company EDF is contributing 30 charging stations to the project. The i-ROAD is a three-wheeled EV that seats two people, and it features Active Lean technology for stability and comfort in the corners. Its footprint is about one-fourth that of a regular car. The four-wheeled COMS EV seats one, but also features a small storage compartment in the rear. The Tesla Model S is going on tour throughout the Northeastern US to give test drives to the public. Beginning July 4 in Montauk, NY, and ending August 30 in Vergennes, VT, people will get the chance to take a 15-minute spin in what many consider to be the best electric car available as part of Tesla's Fully Charged tour. If you live in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, New Hampshire or Vermont, the Model S may be coming to a town near you (check the schedule here) and you'll get the chance to drive the car with a product specialist in the passenger seat to answer your questions. You can even bring up to three guests in the back seat. So if you live in one of the states where Tesla can't sell cars or doesn't have a store, this is your chance to get to know the vehicle and decide if you want to buy one. Or you can just see what it feels like to silently go from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds (hint: it's pretty cool). A UK Survey shows five percent of people there are considering buying an electric vehicle.
