You are looking at a 1997 Toyota Celica GT Convertible. I'm sure you have heard this before but honestly this car runs, drives, brakes, handles and steers like a new one. I bought this car over a year or so ago because this is the body style of Celica that my daughter liked. But now she just had her second child and she says there is no way that she can put both of them in the car. Before I gave it to her I had it all checked out and maintained by a Toyota dealership. Checked out good except the park brake needs new cables. Which is common on automatic transmissions because they are never used and the cable corrodes and becomes stuck and won't move. I did not repair that. All other brakes were as new, front and rear. Aside from a cleaning the top functions perfect and has no leaks, rips, snags or tears. Has one small rock chip in windshield, no cracks. Shown in pic's. The factory alloy wheels have some corrosion on them, see picture. Zero rust, dents or scratches. Couple small rock chips in front bumper cover, if I did not say anything you more then likely would not notice. The A/C needed charged, it had a leak in the condenser so I had it replaced. Now A/C blows ice cold. At 140000 I was told it had a 77000 engine put in it with new timing belt and water pump. Car has no leaks at all. I believe the mileage on the engine to be correct so does the Toyota dealer. The car performs flawlessly in every way including the automatic transmission. Stereo has tape and CD all factory sounds great like new. Has brand new leather seat covers. Front and rear. Look to be factory like new. Tires are like new. The car also has a Alarm system with a remote start, seems to function perfect. Car has absolutely no issues. This is a seriously beautiful car. There will be no disappointments at all. The car is priced to sell. I just have to many cars. Please fell free to call and ask me any questions at all. My name is Randell Carr 1-309-269-1203

Legal approach in $1.2 billion Toyota settlement could impact handling of GM recall cases
Wed, 26 Mar 2014In the past, if an automaker did something wrong, they were usually prosecuted by the US government through something called the TREAD Act. Short for Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, it basically requires automakers to report recalls in other countries, along with any and all serious injuries or deaths, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Failing to report or attempting to conceal anything when there's been a death or serious injury constitutes a criminal liability. The idea is that this setup puts the onus on manufacturers to keep NHTSA apprised of safety related issues before they become a problem in the US, thereby allowing the regulator to better protect consumers.
In theory, it sounds like a relatively airtight set of rules for dealing with misbehaving automakers. That didn't stop the US Department of Justice from ignoring TREAD in its prosecution of Toyota's handling of the unintended acceleration recall, though. The result of this new approach, which charged Toyota with wire fraud, was a $1.2 billion settlement. Now, the wire-fraud approach could be used for the expected case between the US government and General Motors, based on the statements of Attorney General Eric Holder, who specifically mentioned "similarly situated companies" when discussing Toyota.
Manga stylized Toyota Aygo takes on Godzilla
Thu, 13 Nov 2014Japan has given the world so much to enthuse over. We're not sure the Toyota Aygo is necessarily one of them as much as, say, the Scion FR-S or Lexus LFA (especially since it's actually made in Europe), but for many Nipponophiles, the centuries-old artistic discipline of Manga certainly is. And now the two have come together in this two-and-a-half-minute animated short.
In Toyota's own take on the classic narrative, an Aygo animated by celebrated artist Sonia Leong takes on Godzilla. As in, a giant lizard rampaging through a Japanese city, not the Nissan GT-R, against which the little Toyota would certainly stand even less of a chance by any metric other than affordability, fuel economy or ability to park in tight spots.
In any case, watch this Manga-fied video above, and feel free to read through the related press release below.
Toyota confirms all-wheel drive V8 hybrid for TS040 LMP1 car in 2014
Sun, 02 Feb 2014The 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship is gearing up to be one of the most exciting seasons of endurance racing in recent memory. All of the factory-entered LMP1 class cars are using hybrid powertrains, and Porsche is returning to the top class of the sport after a 16-year absence. Don't count out Toyota, though. The team has just revealed the first official details about its 2014 TS040 LMP1 car, and it has a big surprise - all-wheel drive.
The TS040 will follow Audi's lead and will use a combination motor and generator to power the front wheels. The system will generate power under braking and will use it up when accelerating to give a boost in traction over last year's rear-wheel-drive Toyota TS030. Toyota will stick with a gasoline-fueled, naturally aspirated 3.4-liter V8 to feed the rear wheels and will take on Audi's diesel, turbocharged 3.7-liter V6 and Porsche's gasoline-fueled, turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
Sadly, there are no real pictures of the TS040 yet. Toyota is holding off on unveiling the car until the end of March at the WEC test at the Paul Ricard circuit, and the racing season doesn't begin until April 20 with the 6 Hours of Silverstone. You can read the whole press release about the TS040 below.
