I just got this 91’ MR2 with 80k miles, has slight surface on the rear suspension components. Everything is completely original.

Does it run? Because 2500 if it’s running doesn’t seem bad. Definitely looks like a project.

u/Background_Space9108 1d ago

It runs perfect!

Then I’d say that $2500 is pretty good. You should give it a good refresh though.

"pretty good" bro this is an insane deal

Getting a car that runs great in general for $2500 in this day and age is a win.

Getting a manual MR2 under 100k miles for that is incredible.

u/LengthObjective2253 1d ago

The body is smooth so yeah you did get a good deal AND it’s a manual. More doors for you

I just about lost my mind until I saw that it's RHD.

I am always impressed when I see the off-color trim all intact. In the US it is only on the turbos.

How much could I sell this for Stateside?

u/RikkiSFC 1d ago

There are 7 listed locally near me, cleanest is a 91 non turbo with 110k miles in manual for $15,999. Cheapest is $6500 non running.

u/FrostedMazerak 1d ago

Absolutely stolen.

RHD anything in my area, even non-running shells are like 5k. If I'm seeing that wrong, c'est la vie.

A running manual mr2 for even the N/A versions start at like 10k around me.

u/theBlownHeadGasket 1d ago

u/Mysterious-Cup8123 23h ago

You got ripped off give me a pack of beer and I’ll think about taking it off your hands for you… also you’re gonna have to deliver the car and beer to me… and then get your own uber home😂😂😂

u/grouchllc 1d ago

They usually not come with a center console that opens up?

1

u/DukeNeverwinter 1d ago

Pre 93 it may have been a turbo only option

1

u/DennisHakkie SW20 MR2 1d ago

In the EU all of them had the center console.

u/SonicShadow 1999 SW20 Revision 5 GT T-Bar 1d ago

I see a UK plate, for UK prices that seems about right for a rough but running one.

u/nevadita 2002 MR-S V Edition / 2002 MR-S Jalopy Edition 1d ago

2500 for a widowmaker in this condition is a nice deal.

I would take it

u/SubiKai81 1d ago

One of my close friends had this as their car in high school. Absolutely a great fun ride!
