Jeeze I guess. Everyone and their mother with a turbo mr2 here wants at least $5500. Its freakin ridiculous, and thats with mediocre paint and minor problems with bad interior.
Damn bro, $5500 too much for a two? That's a good deal. It is a rare car that is uncomparable to anything of it's day (especially). Looks, performance and the ability to never pull up to another one randomly on the street is a lot to ask for that amount.
Besides the fact that it's only time keeping it from being classified as a 'classic'. (it's already classed as 'prestigious' on state/insurance registration)
I sold my last n/a for $4700, stock and my last U.S. turbo for $8500, also bone stock. However, there was nothing major wrong with either.
btw, if you're lucky enough to be packing a gen 3 under the hood, you can roam the streets with enough confidence to pull up next to any car. (if you need to know yours is faster. I have a gen 3 but prefer curves and paking lots)
I love that the car is hard(er) to find and holds it's value well. Have you ever noticed how quickly a cars' condition and their associated value goes down when it's cheap (and desired)? Think about it, people that can't afford or stress to afford a nice car certainly won't be able to afford the upkeep on them. It ends up diminishing the entire models' value/respect.
Not really a comparison for what I'm talking about but I can't help but picture a mustang with hammers, sagging bodykit and rust bubbles.
I dont mean making a good deal, I mean finding one, IE a good price on autotrader etc. This is pre-contact I'm talking about. $5500 is a lot of money for a car that will need a new (at least decent) paint job, and a tune up on top of anythign else wrong with it (suspension, door panels/switches, and other miscellaneous interior) . Its going to total at LEAST $8k in the end. IMO not worth it when the car is a 91, no matter how sweet of a car it is. If I had $8k I would buy one in already good condition.

It's best just to spend a little more on an older car. But any mr2 for around 5500 is likely going to need everything updated while at 7-8k it should be nice overall. If you can do your own work you'll have more fun and get a better deal buying a shell for 2k and swapping in a gen2/3. In the end you should have 6k +- invested and a 2 with perfect, low mileage mechanicals.
