Hmm

It is very rare to see a white mr-2 with that color interior... it is usually blue interior, which I hate... the interior looks a bit rough, however the seats are fully adjustable with lumbar support.... the engine looks factory, which is a plus, but it is dirty as all hell... looks like it could desperately use new cap rotor, wires and plugs... which means that regular maintainance has not been done... u will need a tune up right away. Oil, filter, new coolant, flush, brake flush, maybe new brakes, a serious cleaning of the engine compartment, which you could do really cheap yourself... manifold looks pretty rusty, so I yake it the car is up north. which means the car needs to be looked at really good for rust... same thing with down here in fla. with the ocean breeze and all. The ecterior of the car in the pics has some minor body damage which is a scary thought. body work is not!!! cheap!!!!!.........

The car has alot of potential, depending on the price~! U can pick one up that is in much better condition for a great price...

Granted this car has blue interior... and is a 91' gives u an idea of some nice ones u can get in your local area there.
Plus this 1 hasn't been into an accident

thats cool. so you think i shouldnt give him more than 1500$ for it? id ont think he'll sell it for that low.

ive been looking for an mr2 for a while now. i really cant find one though. it has to be turbo.

unles i get a dirt cheap non-turbo with excellent shelll id get that and later swap it, is it worth it?

Listen, the point in my last post, was so that u could see that there are a lot of mr-2's that u can purchase within 100 miles of your area... turbo, and decent.... iif u don't mind traveling, over the 300 mile mark there are many to choose from... and alot of the guys here are more than willing to help you find a decent one. Let us know how much u wanna spend, and we will be sure to help you out as much as humanly possible......
And with that in mind I believe Deuce 93t has one for sale coming soon with a new turbo, and runs great

!!!!!

6,000.00 will buy you a decent turbo model car!!!
It might need paint or something like that, and be all factory. But you can definately get a turbo model car in your general vivinity for that much.

I know most of these are non-turbo models, but you originally were looking at non turbo models... some people don't want the turbo model, so I threw both in there for ya!!!!
You can find something much better than that peice of crap u found!!!
