DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR IF YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS AND INTEND TO PURCHASE.  This is not a fire sale it was difficult for the owner to make the decision to sell her car.  Her husband, one of my very best friends, passed away a few months ago and she is selling the MR2 because their SUV is currently more practical.  So please don't play games.  If you want a "buy it now" email me with a phone number.

 I am listing this car for the original owner, a very close family friend.  The car was purchased new by her and has been well cared for as the photos will indicate.

As noted in the "defects area the only item on this car requiring attention is the front facia which has the usual damage inflicted by years of driving.  We considered repainting the front facia prior to selling (cost of $350) but then the question of damage or an accident could be asked.  So take a look at the photos, repainting the facia will bring the cars finish to a very nice level.

This car has never been in an accident and drives straight and stops true.  The motor and drive train has been well maintained with regular service and only minor maintenance items needed during its life such as a MAP sensor and Oxygen sensor replacement.  The water pump was replaced as well as the usual belts, brake pads and service items.  The car retains its original clutch and shifts as it should.   I do not know the life of a clutch in an MR2 but there is no slippage or chatter indicating a need for service.

New rear tires were installed at 116,877 miles and front tires have about 60% wear remaining.  A new top was installed in May of 2012 at a cost of $1620.00.  The fit is perfect.

The interior is in excellent condition with no dash cracks, no fading and just the normal wear on the seats with no tears.  The car was always garage kept and is owned by a non-smoker.  Everything on the car works as it should.

There are no defects, rock chips in the windshield or door glass

While there are some tiny marks on the wheels there is no "curb rash" where the wheels have been ground against a curb.

If you are looking for a very clean and desirable ONE OWNER MR2 requiring very little effort to make it a near perfect example this is the car for you.  The car shows like one with half the miles.  You will not be disappointed.

I invite and recommend a personal inspection.  The car is located in Mission Viejo, California.  While I have endeavored to describe this vehicle as accurately as possible I once again recommend a personal inspection and am happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. 

Please do not bid on this car unless you have the ability to complete the transaction.  By bidding you are committed to purchase if you are the winning bidder and you should consider this a binding contract.

There is no warranty expressed or implied.

This vehicle is advertised locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time for any reason.

Toyota sizzle reel gives better look at i-Road Geneva concept

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Toyota is taking the tiny tandem Tango to Tron town. In a teaser video for the new i-Road, debuting at the Geneva Motor Show next week, we catch a light-bike-like glimpse of Toyota's quirky tandem-seat concept. We still don't know much about the vehicle itself, but the video does flash the words "fun, compact, emissions-free," which suggests this is an electric ride. Then comes the apparent tagline: "i Roll, i Rock i Road." An indication that the tilting image we see in the video isn't just a special effect, perhaps? We'll have to wait until we get to Switzerland next week to find out. Until then, you can watch the video below.
In more earthly reveals, Toyota will also show off its hotly anticipate FT-86 Open sports car concept and Auris Touring Sports wagon on its Geneva show stand.

eBay Find of the Day: Harley-Davidson powered Toyota Prius [w/video]

Thu, 03 Apr 2014

Sometimes we pluck cars from the listings of eBay Motors because they're old and interesting, some for being simply lovely, some for rarity and some for pure fun. And sometimes we pick eBay Finds of the Day, because they're hacked apart Toyota Prius' with Harley Davidson V-twin-power; concocted by the same mind that brought you innumerable Jalopnik articles and is partially responsible for the joy that is the 24 Hours of LeMons. This time it's that last one.
A fairly subtle tweet from long-time Jalop contributor and well-regarded grease monkey, Murilee Martin, hipped us to this crazy Frankenstein Prius. Built from the bones of a 2008 Toyota and the heart of a 1986 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the motive portmanteau is, well... it's a thing.
Toyota's advanced Hybrid Synergy Drive has been unceremoniously wrenched and snipped out of the engine bay, making room (via an artful hole in the hood) for the towering, bored out V-twin. Or, as the maestro himself puts it:

Toyota plotting WRC-inspired Yaris hot hatch

Tue, Mar 24 2015

The emergence of the new Honda Civic Type R goes to show that the Japanese can make hot hatches every bit as good as the Europeans. But though it's been a while since Toyota had a serious contender in the game, word has it that it's about to jump back in. The impetus for Toyota's (re-)entry into the hot hatch segment is its impending return to the World Rally Championship. The company announced just a couple of months ago its intention to run a Yaris-based (or at least -styled) rally machine in the WRC by 2017, and now the latest reports indicate a road-going version won't be too far behind. Though the competition-spec model is expected to pack a 1.6-liter turbo four built by Toyota Motorsport GmbH specifically to comply with FIA regulations, the street-legal Yaris hot hatch is tipped to carry the 2.0-liter turbo four from the Lexus NX 200t. Though the jury's still out, it'd likely stick with front-drive instead of a more complex all-wheel drive system, but with a six-speed manual and a limited slip differential, it has all the potential to be a real firecracker. Only a limited number will likely be offered, ostensibly to meet FIA homologation requirement – in the same vein as the Citroen DS3 Racing or the Volkswagen Polo WRC Street – and likely to carry a similarly premium price tag in the neighborhood of 34,000 euros. We'd be pleasantly surprised if any of them were to make it to North American showrooms, though.
