1991 MR2 Turbo. It's beautiful. It's probably one of the nicest condition MR2s I've seen. It'll probably reach 8-10k before the auction is over. I wish I could afford it. I would have to get rid of my car before I could even begin to afford it but by then it'd be too late. :(

My car is having so many problems. It was seriously abused by the previous owners and I didn't help matters any by adding a supercharger at 85k miles. The clutch hydrolics are fubar right now and I can't even get it into gear so it's currently undrivable until I fix it. :( Good thing I have a bike!

edit: Since I'm planning on getting one eventually what color do you all like better black or RED?

It's actually 15 years old. Manufactured 9/90. I was 3 years old. :Q

2 seater with 4 doors? That'd be interesting. :p

Me and my cohorts agree, nice car.

Black is always a great choice, but Red is more chick friendly.

I always wanted an MR2 Turbo as well but finding one that isn't dying or heavily modified is hard to come. If it's in fairly mint condition the price tag could be pretty heafty. Probably better off finding an N/A version and do a 3SGTE swap but it's all too expensive for a 10+ year old car. My new dream car is the Subaru Legacy GT

Yeah, I was thinking about getting an NA and swapping in a tubro engine. Still, that costs money and that doesn't include fixing up the interior and exterior which will most likely be in poor condition, since that is how most MR2s I have seen are.

Holy fvck, the seller lowered the reserve price at the last minute and it sold for $5,490.00. I could have afforded that had I sold my car already. I'm gonna go sit in the corner and sulk now. :(

mr2's got a lot better in 1993, afaik they added a bit more power and fixed the snap oversteer (which can be dangerous, especially on a rainy freway)
