Used Car of the Day: 1985 Toyota Celica Supra

It's another 1985 Toyota Celica Supra -- I guess I am drawn to these cars. Maybe because I grew up in the '80s and '90s myself.
This one appears to need some work, or at least some cosmetic work, based on the pics, but the seller claims it drives well, despite having over 196K miles.
The car spent 2001-2018 in storage, the seller picked it up in 2019 and has driven it since.
The transmission is an automatic, and the seller says everything works and the fluids and oil have been changed recently.
We'd love to know more about the car -- and thus give you more to chew on -- but we work with what we've got.
As always, you can click through to see more about the car, whether you're an interested buyer or just a curious observer (and again, this feature is really for the latter more so than the former).
If you have the time to clean up some of the cosmetic stuff I can see in the pics, you could have a nice piece of the '80s on your hands.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- SCE to AUX I can't warm up to the new look. Still prefer my 22 SF.
- SCE to AUX I guess the direct sales stores weren't polled. Unless dealers are going out of business, I don't feel one bit sorry for them. They should most fear the mfrs who are eager to get rid of them, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction.

- Lou_BC I guess I should pry all of the logos off my vehicle. That is a form of advertising. Anyone wearing 'branded" clothing?

Luckily my 87 I bot brand new in winter 1986, just had regular shocks. I have over 200k miles and still going strong. I had the original light bulbs still working after 20 years. But yes, if you can't find a key replacement to keep your vehicle operational, you're SOL. 😉
