Toyota Stalking, er...um, SPOTTING with Charlie™ (Cars, vans, SUVs, Lexus, Scion, and brochures)!

For the record, I did know that non-turbo 1993-1998 Supras could be had with a 4-speed automatic transmission, but I am pretty sure that this is the first slushbox twin-turbo Supra that I have ever seen!

I was at Thompson Toyota accompanying a friend who was looking to buy a new Corolla Cross, and this beauty was on the showroom floor; This 1993 Supra is part of the massive collection owned by the late Jack Thompson, along with the 2000GT that is still in a the showroom. It is 100% stock and I'm pretty sure that it has insanely low miles...

I found this potential diamond-in-the-rough at Sloane Toyota during my multi-dealership adventure last Sunday...

I don't know what the MSRP for a brand new Corolla LE is off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure it's was nowhere near what Sloane is asking for this car...

No dealer warranty, but this one is a CPO so it probably has a decent warranty from Toyota that's good nationwide (and probably at dealers in Canada)...

 

Sharp-looking car, especially with those wheels, but almost $30K (Probably exactly $30K with tax, tags, title, etc) for a base model Corolla with almost 30K miles!

 

$23K for a 2018 LE with almost 45K miles...

 

And the wheel covers look like they're from a 1998 Plymouth Breeze...

 

I'd say this is a better deal than the "Stormtrooper" 2020 LE, as it is a higher-end SE model with about 14K fewer miles of the same year for almost the same price, but still overpriced...

 

And another 2020 SE, with 21K miles, for what would have been new Camry money a year ago...

 

At Thompson Toyota, still overpriced but not as outrageous; 2019 Corolla LE with lower miles than the 2018 for less than $21K...

Base model 4-banger front-wheel drive Highlander; It had California plates, and aside from the dent in the side, it was mint. Looks like someone takes care of it; Also has a Pioneer Bluetooth CD stereo!



I believe it to be a 4-banger/FWD because it doesn't say "4WD" or "V6" on the liftgate...

My friend saw this Prius while visiting family in SoCal almost five years ago; Yes, I would drive it, especially with gas prices the way they presently are!

My aunt lives in the Atlanta suburbs, and this is her RAV4; The snow is already starting to stick there!

The newest examples of this generation of Camry (MY1997-2001 in North America) are just four short years away from being eligible for antique tags in Pennsylvania and several other states as of this post; However, Camrys are not exactly rare or sought after like certain other Toyota vehicles of this era, and the majority of the examples I see in my area are beaten to shit.

This later example (2000-2001) that I spotted in the Home Depot parking lot while running an errand for work is far from being immaculate and bares the scars of at least 21 years on the road, but it looks to be care for; I also have a feeling that it is not originally from Pennsylvania or anywhere further north due to the the apparent lack of rust. While one of the wheel covers does not match the other three, all four are at least Toyota OEM!

1997-1999 Camry LE, looking good with Avalon wheels!

Another one I saw while doing DoorDash; An early (I'm guessing 1991-1993) Previa that I saw in an apartment complex when turning around. It is not in the best shape, though it is not rusty like many I've seen; It's registered in North Carolina and the dealer logo on the lower left corner of the liftgate (Toyota of Concord) combined with the lack of rust would indicate that this van spent most of its life in the Southeast before ending up here...

I ran the Previa's license plate through Carfax, and found that it's 1994 model; I knew it would have high miles (pretty much all Previas I've both in person and for sale online do) but I was shocked, based on its condition, to see that it has about 300K miles!

 

Also, this Previa was just purchased by it's 5th owner in September 2021; Records show that they've put close to 6,000 miles on it in the four months they've had it. I was thinking that maybe they'd bought it in NC, but that they lived here in PA and just hadn't registered it yet, but it would appear that this is an NC resident who puts the same amount of mileage on their van that I put on my truck. Either way, this is one of the cleanest Previas I've ever seen that didn't come Arizona, Nevada, Texas, or somewhere on the West Coast; According to Carfax, it has been registered in North Carolina it's whole life! I do believe that NC is one of the states covered in the Tacoma frame recall, but I know that weather in most of the state is far more mild than here in Pennsylvania...
