As title states, my absolute PRIDE AND JOY is up for sale. These are getting hard to come by. This particular car has a BEAUTIFUL body with very shiny paint (most shiny than new cars). Plus a leather interior that looks stunning for a car this age. This is my baby and I have taken really good care of it. This is originally a BC car. I went to Vancouver to get it. Loaded with the usual options, including leather, AC, and T tops. There's 1 or 2 teeny tiny dings on the driver's side (VERY VERY TINY). That's it. Which is amazing for a car this old. Rock chips are minimal, and paint is mostly original.

Some extra include:

- Custom 16" Mille Miglia rims with Kumho 712 (60%F/40%R)-- no other MR2 in the world has these rims.
- Stock 14" rims with newish AS tires
- Tokico 5 way adjustable struts
- ST progressive springs (nice ride)
- ST sway bars (BEEFY!)
- Apex'i intake
- Genuine TRD muffler
- Leather RAZO shifter
- Manual boost controller (hardly ever used cause it causes it to guzzle gas like crazy)
- Autometer boost gauge and AF on pod
- TRD short shifter
- Bosch E Code H4 conversion headlamps
- Pioneer Premier CD head unit with MB Quart components and dual 8" alpine subs in a non-obtrusive custom enclosure behind seats
- Alpine and factory alarm
- Turbo timer wired to the radiator fans
- Momo figher steering wheel
- Some stock parts (like springs and stock sub, etc...)

Do keep in mind this is a 17 year old car. These are the some of the issues:

- Weak synchros like all 91/92 MR2s. Will only grind if you shift really quick into 2nd or 3rd and your foot isn't fully depressing the clutch. Otherwise really good.
- Power mirrors only go up and down, not sideways. I suspect a broken wire at the switch.
- Sticky starter - stays inside the engine for about 30 secs after driving, so you hear a click click click... sound. Never bothered me.
- Leaks here and there, about a few drops every week
- Only 1 minor accident parking lot incident, no body work done AFAIK, just completely replaced the affected parts, which were right fender and door (yellow donor door)
- Turbo consumes oil. The car has never blown any smoke, but I still need to pour in maybe 2L every 3-4000kms depending on driving conditions :D.
- One of the rims is out of round. It's on the rear right now, and doesn't seem to bother me. But I was quoted $125 to fix it at Alberta Wheel Repair.

Things I have replaced other than mentioned:

- New drivers power window actuator
- New rear cross member (one of the welds came undone, and the control arm couldn't be tightened - seems to be a design flaw)
- Rebuilt rear calipers
- Some other small miscellaneous parts in the interior

Why am I selling? Changing situations in my life (dogs, a baby on the way) dictates that I can't keep this car forever. I would love to, but I just bought a bigger car and need to pay for that. I originally brought this car over from Vancouver in 2000 with about 150,000kms on the odo. All maintenance was done by me.

This car is my baby, and I have nothing to hide. Ask me anything about this car and I will answer as best I can. I get compliments on this car ALL THE TIME. From junior high school girls (don't ask) to 80 year old men. They are always stunned to learn this is a 1991.

NEW BATTERY INSTALLED.

Asking $SOLD. NO TEST PILOTS. ONLY SERIOUS OFFERS. NO LOWBALLERS.

Still for sale. Got my new car, would like to sell before winter but no big hurry. This car still sits in the garage while the new car has to sleep on the driveway... :cry: Price drop.

It's warming up, so it's back for sale. It has been winter stored in my garage since Oct last year (wife's car slept on the driveway :D). Good news: it will have a new battery. Bad news: one of the center caps fell off and is gone forever. :(

Priced to sell!!!

Go back to your jail cell Claw

[porscha.911]

ya it is in very good condition, not trying to insult it, just wanted to give my input, good luck with the sale. :thumbsup:

[clem24]

This car is in much better condition, both internally and externally, than many "lower mileage" JDM cars. The paint is very very shiny, and the interior is very clean. Once you see it in person, you'll be blown away. Come out to the next MR2 meet to see for yourself.

The high mileage is due to the last owner driving it lots between Vancouver and Whistler. You can easily tell this is a highway driven car by the fact that the driver side bolster is in really good shape (no cracks, no fading leather). Lastly, do the math. I've put on 8000kms per year since I've owned it.

This is a very reluctant sale and am only forced to get rid of it due to the wife.. :banghead: In fact, if I don't sell it, I am much much more happier. :D

Anyway, let's try to keep this thread to only those that are seriously interested. Thanks.

[clem24]

So I really wanted to keep the car. This year, I put maybe 600 KMs on it, probably even less than that. The car has been garaged all summer. A new battery was installed. Car is still for sale, and price has been reduced. Come take a look and you won't be disappointed.

Bump for my baby. ;)

Free Bump for Clem

Thanks for the compressor.

[clem24]

Sweet I love freebies. Too bad your ST204 was auto or I'd been all over it.

Bump again.
