General information: This MR2 has never been in any accident, fender bender, parking lot ding ever. I'd give the exterior a 9/10. It's not perfect but it's very close for a car of this age and mileage.
The engine pulls wonderfully and the turbo boosts loudly and strong. Torque is instant and extremely noticeable. I had a performance shop do a compression test when I first purchased it, and it passed with flying colors. With its suspension upgrades, it handles similar to that of a lotus/Porsche. I expect it to last a long time with no more than just general maintenance. The transmission shifts extremely smoothly, especially for a MR2. This is the 93+ transmission with the updated synchros and the factory LSD. The first gear synchro is gone, something that I've read other people experiencing on the board as well. It seems to only be a problem on newer transmissions. This does not affect driving or autox'ing in any way what-so-ever. The only difference is that instead of shifting into first while coasting to a stop at 3 mph or so, just put it into first when fully stopped; or use 2nd gear if still rolling. I would trust this car on a cross country drive. After I purchased the car, it was driven from TN to NH with no issues. The car has a fresh alignment, oil change, and new fluids throughout.
The interior is absolutely beautiful with its black leather/red stitching throughout. I do not take off the t-tops very often, but last I had them off, the seals all looked good. It does not leak water when driven in the rain. I would give the interior a 9.5/10.
Price is $12,500. Car is located in New Durham, NH.
