 For Sale is a rare 87 Toyota Corolla Sport SR5 Coupe 2-Door AE86 1.6 L Gas SOHC.

The engine was replaced 43,000 miles ago in 2005 along with many parts under the hood. Around the same time it got a new paint job (of the original color) and rust repair. In 2008 the windshield was replaced and is in excellent condition. The interior, as you can see, is also in excellent condition. The original radio has been replaced with a CD player /pocket and the back and front speakers have been replaced as well. Other than these few audio modifications and engine replacement no other major modifications have been made to the car and she is all original. The car lights function perfectly. The heating and A/C works but the vent changer is stuck on forward facing vents. The cruise control doesn't work.

Since 2005 it was used until 2007 when it was put into storage for almost the entire year while I was abroad. Then from 2009 to 2013 it was stored again while I went abroad a second time.
As expected from an engine with only 43,000 miles, it runs great, starts up right away, gets up to speed fast and rides smooth.

The vehicle has a clean title and no liens. All major and minor work was paid off when completed.

All receipts and documents for work done to the car since it was bought used by me in 2003 is still available, including the engine replacement and paint job mentioned above.

This car was lovingly used for the majority of 11 years but now it's time for me to move on and put this rare vehicle into the hands of someone who can continue caring for it.

As for knocks against the car, there is a bit of rust around the back wheel wells and on the driver's side front wheel well and a bit on the passenger side front wheel well. Other than this the exterior is in great condition. The dash is cracked in several places and there is a hole on the driver's side seat that has been patched.

The car has been very reliable and I would expect it to continue to run great.

The vehicle is about an hour away but I am in Kansas City. If you are serious about the car then I will drive it up to show you. I'm open to negotiations. If interested please contact me and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Toyota Prius sets a different kind of Nurburgring lap record [w/video]

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Scroll down the leaderboards of Nürburgring lap times and you'll see mostly racing cars, supercars and sports cars. Delve deep enough and you'll eventually get to hatchbacks and sedans, albeit the most performance-focused of their kind. But a hybrid? Sure, the Porsche 918 Spyder posted the top time for a street-legal series production car, and it's technically a hybrid, but we're talking about another kind of hybrid here. We're talking about a Toyota Prius.
That's right: the Prius just set a lap record around the Nordschleife. But it wasn't for the lap time. In fact, miles per hour barely factored in (except for staying above the minimum 37-mph average speed mandated on the vaunted racing circuit). No, this was about miles per gallon.
Toyota took one of its Prius Plug-In hybrids to the Nürburgring, topped up the battery, put on a set of low-rolling-resistance tires and put automotive journalist Joe Clifford behind the wheel with a mandate to use as little fuel as possible. After one second shy of 21 minutes, the Prius completed its lap having used just five tablespoons of fuel.

Who sold the most small/midsize pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates that, too

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

PickupTrucks.com has taken another look at the sales of its favorite vehicle bodystyle as part of an ongoing series. According to registration data from R.L. Polk, the Toyota Tacoma easily took the crown as America's best-selling mid-sized pickup, with 133,477 units rolling into new homes in 2012. For comparison, the second-place Nissan Frontier only saw 50,566 registrations.
We feel compelled to point out that before Ford pulled the plug on its ancient Ranger, the company was moving some 75,000 units per year. That number had shriveled to 15,662 by 2012, which was still enough to surpass the Honda Ridgeline. Interestingly enough, one person brought home a brand-new Hummer H3T as well. But mid-sized trucks represent only a fraction of total pickup sales. Dealers sold a total of 241,471 midsizers last year compared to 988,326 half-tons.
That segment was dominated by General Motors with 533,814 sales followed by Ford at 478,204. Ram Trucks trailed behind in third with 241,204 units with Toyota close behind at 229,769. Nissan, meanwhile, remains a distant fifth. Head over to PickupTrucks.com for a closer look at the breakdown in each segment.

2014 Toyota Tundra Platinum 4x4

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

The Toyota Tundra is the automotive version of off-brand Cheerios: it doesn't dominate the market, and it's not the first model people think of when they hear the term "pickup truck."
Ford, General Motors and Ram dominate the segment with vehicles that offer ridiculous levels of towing and payload capacities and models loaded with luxury items and primed with tech-rich engines. The off-brands, meanwhile, are led by the Tundra, which while still accounting for six-figure sales (112,732 units in 2013, up from 101,621 in 2012), sits well behind the F-150s and Silverados of the world. After our first drive of the revamped 2014 Tundra, we came away thinking this truck is a total underachiever, aimed at placating Toyota loyalists and doing little to win over new customers.
But everybody deserves a second chance, and we thought a week's drive in a different environment might lead to a different - or at least a more fully realized - opinion. While the Tundra might not be an industry leader, it still makes it on many truck buyers' shopping lists. So, should you consider this off-brand pickup truck? To find out, we borrowed a top-of-the-line Tundra Platinum for a week. Read on to see what we found.
