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.

SCE to AUX "two days of performance driving school". There go the tires.
Pianoboy57 I hope we won't see rows and rows of overpriced high trims models no one will buy. You used to could get Chargers and Road Runners with base level trims that were a little bit above taxi cabs.
SCE to AUX "attempted to diffuse some of the tension"... defuse. The union has a point about Stellantis being adrift, but I don't know how any company can promise plant rehab investments and job security if business conditions won't support that. For a few short-term jobs, Stellantis could sink $1.5 billion into a plant that closes again in a few years.
SCE to AUX I know the Highlander has been gold for Toyota, but I really hated the 22 I drove while car shopping back then. The drivetrain was ponderous, controls were confusing, interior was cramped, and it rode like a truck. We ended up with the Santa Fe, much to Bd2's delight.
Big Al from Oz We had Highlanders for work and they are boring and uneconomical when driven with urgency. I will admit I believe the 2.2l diesel Santa Fe's and Sorento's are a better vehicle choice.
