Toyota has owned that domain since 1998, their DNS servers just didn't point it to anything for awhile. That could have been an oversight due to a lack of a Celica that was discovered randomly, or it could be so people thinking it'll be called the Celica would go there to see and get to toyota.com instead...
If Toyota owns a trademark on the Toyota Sprinter name (I'm sure they do) and they want that domain name it wouldn't be a purchase. It'd be a C&D and lawsuit and he'll have to give it to them.
