Portland, Connecticut, United States

This model is a Sunchaser convertible made by Toyota and convertible conversions were made by Griffith co. for the Toyota company. I looked up history and read that there were only 500 made in 1980. This car was originally from South Carolina and I have owned it for about 1 1/2 years. It has no rust on body or on frame. Floors are solid, I have had the carpets out to verify this. Driven mostly on weekends. It has a 20R 4 cylinder engine historically known to be very reliable and a 5 speed standard transmission with a good clutch. All new tires. Car is mostly original except for parts listed below which are stock replacement parts. Radiator has been cleaned and tested. New rear coil springs replaced, new rear shocks, new carburetor, new distributor, plugs, ignition wires and new vacuum advance, exhaust manifold gasket set, new clutch slave cylinder. Driver door was replaced. It was less expensive than a repair. Door fits well as shown in pictures. The car could use a paint job. It should be reasonable, as its only the bottom half'. Have upholstery material for seat repair. This car has only 77,496 original miles.  A great car for someone who wants a minor project and a nice summer ride.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Toyota Tacoma helps stand up to your girlfriend, mimes, magicians and the Grim Reaper

Mon, 26 Aug 2013

It takes a lot to get a product noticed in today's fast-paced world, but one avenue that's always seemed to grab the eyeballs of consumers has been humor. Toyota knows this rule well, and has put together a quartet of spots called "Tacoma Wins," in which the midsize pickup's features and specifications best a number of seemingly worthy competitors.
Whether it be sobbing girlfriends, a circus magician, a grim reaper or the scariest thing of all, a mime, the Tacoma looks well equipped to deal with it. Take a look below for all four of Toyota's newest spots.

Toyota Matrix discontinued for 2014

Mon, 05 Aug 2013

Between its slow sales and the upcoming redesign of the closely related Corolla sedan, things haven't been looking good for the Toyota Matrix (for some time now). After 10 years on the market, Toyota has officially announced that it will drop the Matrix from its US lineup following the 2013 model year.
The announcement was made as a part of a press release breaking down what's new for Toyota in 2014, but for now, it doesn't look like any Toyota-branded product will fill the Matrix's spot. The Matrix and its sister car, the defunct Pontiac Vibe, were the final vehicles developed under the joint venture between Toyota and General Motors, an arrangement launched back to 1984.
