1986 Toyota Celica Gt Only 121k Original Miles 5 Speed Manual on 2040-cars
Orange, Virginia, United States

I bought this car about a month ago to fix up a bit and drive. In the meantime I went out of state and while I was out of state, a friend decided to buy a NEW car and offered me their old Nissan Maxima at a good price. Therefore before I do anything or spend more money, this car is back on the market. It drives very well, the inspection is expired so when I drove it, it was on back roads with an illegal plate but it drives well, the A/C works and has already been converted to R134, there is a sticker in place. You can drive it now, the big worry is the radiator over a lengthy drive, if you replaced that it could drive anywhere. I DO NOT KNOW much about the history of the car other than what the AUTOCHECK says, so if you choose to drive it, you would need to check all fluids as you go to be careful. Probably towing would be better ( I borrowed a tow dolly and brought it about 100 miles myself to get it here) Other than a scrape on the passenger rear quarter and a needed clean up, the car is in remarkable aesthetic condition. Mechanically this is what I KNOW it needs ( it may need more BUT I am selling as is). This is what I know....it needs tires, a radiator, and the control for the hot/cold fixed in the dash ( right now it is a cable you move by hand to control it and it works that way}, I have NOT investigated what it needs back there to hook it back up. I have seen a couple of these cars on eBay for way more than I have this one listed. It may need other things as well, BUT I am being honest, I have not investigated more than what I have said, so I stress, I am selling as is no warrany. Text me with questions or more pics, or if you want to see it, I will be tied up all of July 4th, other than that, we can work something out for you to see it! It runs well, drives well, clutch seems strong. As I want to make clear, I bought it to fix up and drive, I am re-selling just because the Maxima I was offered was nicer and at a great price. I am pretty handy and have fixed up many 92-01 Camrys, this car and engine et al looked very similar, so I was was figuring with my labor, checking it over, fixing the dash temp control, getting a radiator, for under $400 I could fix it up and drive it for years ( that is with my doing the labor) then you have a great gas mileage little Toyota with only 121K. Until I got the Maxima, that was my plan! Anyway email me with any questions or if you want more pictures!!! Manual windows and locks, like I said it needs a good cleaning, but I have seen MUCH worse, it seemed pretty zippy on my short test drive, the clutch seems good, engine runs well. Hit the buy it now, the reserve is lower than the BIT but not by much, and for under a grand, you have a car that will a little tweaking, can last for years tp drive or for some one to learn to drive a stick shift!!! Nothing better than driving a manual I say, at least in country driving like what I do!

Toyota renews Supra trademark, we renew frothing at the mouth
Tue, 18 Feb 2014Enthusiasts have been begging for a new Supra practically since Toyota stopped selling its fourth generation in the US way back in 1998. We've been hearing rumors about a successor for years, but the Toyota FT-1 Concept from the 2014 Detroit Auto Show is the first tangible sign from the automaker that a new generation may be on the table. To temp us even more, the Japanese company reportedly filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office last week to renew its 2010 trademark for the name "Supra."
Granted, these kinds of trademark updates aren't uncommon, as automakers don't want to lose their rights to nameplates (even if they have no immediate plans to use them). However, Toyota briefly abandoned its rights to the Supra name entirely. According to The Motor Report, the original trademark was continually renewed until 2006, but the Japanese automaker let it lapse in the US until applying for it again in 2010.
The FT-1 Concept in Detroit was created at Toyota's Calty Design Research center in California and carries cues from the 2000GT, Celica and Supra in an ultra-curvy body. Officials did not disclose anything about its powertrain. Toyota is also co-developing a future sports car platform with BMW that will underpin models from both companies, but few other details are konwn, and it isn't yet clear that the joint venture has anything to do with a future Supra. Hope springs eternal.
Toyota GT86 convertible on 'indefinite hold'
Sat, 05 Oct 2013Bad news, sportscar fans. According to a new report from What Car?, Toyota has cancelled plans to produce a GT86 convertible, a model based on the FT-86 Open Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. In truth, Toyota never actually confirmed it would produce the budget-friendly droptop in the first place, but rumors have been flying since last year and Toyota reportedly showed its embattled Scion dealers a FR-S version of the convertible in August. Presumably, this means that a lidless variant of the Subaru BRZ is not in the cards, either.
The reason for the move is unknown, though What Car? reports "one possible cause is weight; Toyota did say that further work would be required on rigidity before the convertible could be launched, and that could have added extra bulk that conflict with the regular GT86's ethos of light weight and agile handling." It doesn't look like that work will happen anytime soon, as "sources now say that the car has now been delayed indefinitely, with no place in Toyota's product plan in either 2014 or 2015." Still holding out hope? What Car? says the project could be "fast-tracked" if management decides it wants to reboot the program down the road.

Toyota confirms 2014 Highlander is in a New York state of mind
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Toyota has confirmed that it will be showing off the all-new 2014 Highlander at the New York Auto Show later this month. It's been a while since we've heard about the updated Highlander, but given just how long this thing has been on the market, we certainly hope that the list of changes will be more extensive than the new 2014 Toyota Tundra that debuted in Chicago last month.
Currently, the Highlander is offered in both naturally aspirated and hybrid versions, with front- and all-wheel drive. We don't expect the formula to change too much, since sales of the Japanese CUV are still steady - well in line with newer players in the segment like the Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder and GM's Lambda triplets (Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave).
We'll have the full skinny on the new Highlander in the coming weeks. For now, scroll down to read Toyota's incredibly brief press blast.
