Today we go to the Buckeye State for this 1985 Toyota Celica Supra.

This automatic-transmission P-Type has about 141,000 miles on it and is described as "mostly original."

It is apparently rust-free, to boot.

Our seller tells us that their is an aftermarket radio in the car but the original is available. Same deal for the wheels.

The A/C works but apparently the refrigerant leaks. Other than that, the seller says the car runs and drives well.

If you're interested in more, you can see this Ohio-based car here.

The asking price is $13,500.

Tim Healey

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.

I liked car designs like this before everything got the wind tunnel "melted candy bar" look.

Nice find. 80s liftbacks were the best.

Jalop1991 I had the Chrysler van, PHEV, 3.5 years old. We were going to go a different direction, and get a Bronco. I asked Carvana and Carmax, how much will you buy this from me for? They each gave me a number--the same number. I drove the van to the CDJR dealer and asked; he gave me a number significantly lower, something like 19% lower. I said hmmm, ok. I told him I was looking at Bronco; he said let's go look at Jeeps. Sure. WOW, those prices. What, made of gold? ✔️ So: lower trade by far, higher price by far. Yep. We went and got the Bronco. Ford knows how to unweld those tires from the lot.
Ajla They were not perfect but FCA was a healthy company in 2018. The Challenger, Wrangler and Ram truck had its best year ever in 2018. In 2019 the Charger had its best year since 2008. The Grand Cherokee had sales increase every year from 2011-2018. Unfortunately Sergio died in the 2nd half of 2018 and Elkann & Tavares f*cking suck. They took an efficient company and turned it into something with Ford-tier cost overruns, which lead to huge price increases. And now they are overcompensating by cost-cutting to the bone, which in turn is killing product quality and employee morale.
GregLocock "The automaker did announce a $406 million investment in Michigan (the state where it has seen a large number of layoffs recently) on the same day as its rebuttal to the NDC. However, that may have been something it was already working on before the dealer letter went out."Well golly gosh, that's insightful, no wonder we come to TTAC to be informed. Car companies routinely spend half a billion dollars on a whim. Not.
Mister Corey, this series (and the Lincoln series that preceded it) are so very good that I'd like to suggest you find a publisher and rework both series of posts into coffee table books.
Jerry I will never own a fully electric automobile!
