 1986 TOYOTA MR2 SUNROOF, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. FLORIDA CAR. I bought the car in 2008 in original, unmolested condition. I replaced the headgasket, timing belt, tires, muffler, brake rotors, tie rods, and moldings (eyelash and "C" pillar moldings with factory new one). I did not get the car registered till 2012, because I lived in Europe and I just moved back in 2012. The car still has the original paint except the bumper covers and rear trunk lid, because the paint was fading badly. After the paint job of the bumpers the factory stripes were reproduced and reinstalled to the bumpers. The rest of them are the original.  No accident. The original paint has now started to fade on the front trunk and engine lid. There are 2 small dings on the right door and one crack on the rear bumper (see pictures). The paint looks better on the pictures then in real life. The car has some scratches (it is 28 years old). The interior is very nice and clean. The floor carpet and seats looks like new. Everything works and is original. I paid more than $ 350 (at the dealer) for the eyelashes and rear moldings. I believe those are not available anymore. The A/C works but not icecold. Still has the factory cassette player. It also has the factory case for the sunroof panel. The only thing that is missing the sunshade. Tires has 95% of the tread.
It can be your daily driver, but I believe the first series MR2s are one of the near future hot collectible cars. The MR2 is one the few classic/collectible car that is useable and enjoyable for everyday driving. Hard to find an unmolested original car in this condition. After a nice repaint it can be a showcar. Or you can keep the original paint because some collectors likes the original condition.
The trunk and interior looks almost new. No rust anywhere. I drove the car less than 1000 miles because I wanted to keep till it will be 30 years old.
I list the car only once (with NO reserve). If does not sell I'll keep it till it will be 30 years old. Yesterday I bought a manual transmission car from Arizona, and that is the only reason to sell.
I can help with shipping (usually around 40 cents/mile).
If somebody want to ship the car to Europe he can save the custom duties because it is already paid (custom fees and VAT). I paid when I worked in Europe.
The car is located in Sanford, Fl. You are welcome to inspect or test drive. Larry 407-558-5362

Toyota pimps out Esquire van for Japanese businessmen [w/video]

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

A few months back we reported on a dealership owner in Japan who was petitioning Toyota to make a luxury van. The problem, he reasoned, was that he couldn't take as many friends, colleagues and clients around with him in his Lexus LS, and his Toyota Alphard van wasn't luxurious enough. Well, it seems like he wasn't alone, and Toyota has listened.
The Japanese auto giant has just revealed the Esquire, a new luxury van designed with just such customers in mind. It's significantly smaller than the Sienna we get in America, smaller than the aforementioned Alphard and about the same size as (this writer's favorite) the JDM Noah van (on which we gather it's based). But what sets the Esquire apart is its upscale appearance.
The boxy van is distinguished by its dominant T-shaped chrome grille with a unique emblem that encompasses a shield, sword, "the collar of a gentleman's suit" and the letters Esq. The flank is characterized by a strong beltline with chrome lower window frame and an expansive greenhouse with tinted rear glass. Inside the flexible cabin you'll find accommodation for seven or eight passengers (depending on specification), synthetic leather upholstery and wood and metallic trim. There are even wheelchair-enabled models on offer as well.

Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S sales disappointing worldwide?

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Okay, folks - it appears we've got a problem. The Toyota GT86, Europe's counterpart to our own beloved Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S coupes, is apparently not selling too well. This, according to Toyota's European Vice President of Research and Development, Gerald Killman, is what's limiting plans for additional variants of the rear-drive coupe.
"A faster version of that car would be at the top of most people's wish lists, but like the cabriolet, it is hard to justify a business case to push either model into production based on the current sales," Killman told AutoExpress. "Personally, I think that engine could use a little bit more," he added.
More troubling is that slow sales aren't limited to the Euro-spec car, with Killman claiming that the GT86 have been missing sales targets in major markets around the globe. It may not be that the US is one of those major markets, though. Scion's Vice President, Doug Murtha, tells Autoblog that his brand is happy with the sales of its version of the GT86, the FR-S. 18,000 units were sold last year, which Murtha says is "generally in line with original expectations for the car."

Toyota launches new Pixis Epoch kei car in Japan

Sat, 12 May 2012

Kei cars may be small in size, but they're big business in Japan. The latest arrival to the category is the little hatch you see above, the Toyota Pixis Epoch.
It's the fourth vehicle produced by the Daihatsu division but sold under the Toyota brand. As with other keis, power comes from a 660cc engine. It's mated to a continuously variable transmission driving either just the front wheels or all four. In both configurations, the Pixis Epoch features a stop-start system that helps its emissions and fuel efficiency figures come in well below even the Japanese government's stringent standards.
The whole package measures just 3,395 mm (133 inches) long, 1,475 mm (58 inches) wide and 1,500 mm (59 inches) tall, but offers a relatively spacious and utile interior, plus a tight turning radius of just 4.4 meters. Pricing ranges from 795,000 to 1.2 million yen - that's less than $10,000 (and no more than $15k). Further details in the press release after the jump.
