1993 Toyota Mr2 on 2040-cars
Elkhorn, Wisconsin, United States
|
I bought this car from my cousin a little over a year and a half ago, he bought it off the showroom floor brand new, in 1993. His wife died of cancer and the car was stored since then in his garage in Ohio. My uncle faithfully started this car at least once a week to keep all systems working. I've always wanted one of these. Since owning my own restoration shop for years I decided to give it the overall mechanical treatment to make sure it was reliable. I am A.S.E and I-Car certified. Ive put 6000 miles on it driving cross country a few times. (Im 6 foot 6 and it is extremely comfortable, I also have back problems but not driving this car). When I bought it I replaced , tires, brakes, starter, fuel pump, fuel filter, distributor, coil, starter relay, wires, plugs, air and oil filters, and battery. Eight speaker pioneer HD cd player was installed in original factory holes with no modifications or cutting of dash or interior. I have the original cassette to be included with purchase. The factory color shines like new, I give it a once a year hand polish and carnuba wax to keep it protected. There is a scratch on the left quarter panel that only penetrates the clear coat, there is minor color peeling on bottom of front lower bumper cover, normal from high parking blocks, and minor damage around the antenna. NO RUST. any other small imperfections in the body are not worth mentioning. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10, no burns or fading or obvious wear on seats etc. The leather cover on shifter handle should be replaced. Recently the water pump went out taking the timing belt with it. I have no place to work on it in winter, but I have a mechanic that will fix it for 200 to 250 labor and The parts come as a kit on E Bay for approx. 120 dollars. I am buying a house here and I hate to part with this great car, but I need the money. If I cant sell it as is, I will wait and fix it and the price will go up to what it is really worth, at least 7500 dollars. I will sell it one of two ways. With a 1500 dollar deposit, and by adding 500 dollars to price, I will have the water pump fixed and then you can pick it up, or as is with a 1000 dollar deposit. the deposit is to remove it from listings, and is not refundable. before you take the vehicle all money must be paid, either way, it is being sold as is with no refunds. THIS CAR IS ALREADY CLASSIC AND IS VERY DESIREABLE AND HARD TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION, mid engine rear wheel drive it handles like a race car and still gets 33MPG. Buyer is responsible for transportation.

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
2014 Toyota Corolla
Tue, 27 Aug 2013Reprising The Recipe For A Perfect Slice Of Toast
My toaster broke the other week. Halfway through the process of cooking my gourmet Pop-Tart breakfast, the thing crapped out with a small bang, leaving my delicious morning treats trapped inside. To rectify the situation, I ventured out to a big box store, located the toaster aisle, and ran a couple of questions through my mind. Do I need two slots or four? Do I need to spend more than 20 bucks on this thing? Should I just buy a toaster oven to give me a wider range of bachelor-pad cooking functionality? After no more than two minutes of contemplation, I grabbed the cheapest one on the shelf, paid and left the store. The new toaster works just fine.
This sort of unemotional shopping experience is how I suspect people decide to purchase the Toyota Corolla. It's a perfectly fine appliance, and to a good number of people in the world, the bond between a car and a driver is no more important than the connection I feel to my toaster. Does it seat four people relatively comfortably? Does it get decent fuel economy? Is it easy to drive? Reliable? Safe? The Corolla checks all of these boxes, and because of that, Toyota managed to move just under 300,000 examples of the tenth-generation car in 2012 (though that number does include sales of the Corolla-based, now-deceased Matrix) - a vehicle that, at the time, was already six years old.
2014 Toyota Corolla debuts with more power, interior space
Fri, 07 Jun 2013Depending on who you ask, the best-selling car in the world is either the Ford Focus or Toyota Corolla. Not surprisingly, Toyota claims it's the Corolla. Either way, we're talking around a million individual units per year, and over 40 million over the car's lifetime on the market, so the redesign of Toyota's compact sedan is big-time news for the Japanese automaker that it needs to get right.
The Toyota Corolla was last redesigned way back in 2008, meaning the 2014 model is a long-overdue update to the C-segment sedan. Its age shows when compared to newer rivals like the Honda Civic, Chevy Cruze, Hyundai Elantra and the aforementioned Ford Focus when comparing technology features, fuel mileage and interior roominess. In an effort to solve those demerits, Toyota has added nearly four inches to the 2014 Corolla's wheelbase and will offer a new continuously variable transmission with seven simulated gear ratios.
Engine choices consist of two available 1.8-liter four-cylinder units, one with 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque, and another more efficient version that uses Toyota's new Valvematic technology to offer 140 horses and 126 lb-ft of torque. Eco and Sport modes will be selectable by the driver.
