Just wondering how much you guys value and enjoy your MR2's and if you could trade your mr2 for another car what would be the minimum criteria and what car would it be. Im not looking for answers like a Mclaren f1 but basically where you'd start looking to trade your car in the automotive hierarchy.
The way my car is coming along now and the way it looks I think I wouldnt settle for anything less than a Boxster S, or a 964 911. A late 80s Lotus esprit would be awesome as well however Ive heard theyre super unreliable.

1994+ Toyota Supra TT

97+ AWD Eclipse Turbo

93+ Mazda RX7 TT

All 3 are very cool cars but I wouldn't trade for any of them

The lowest hanging fruit I would consider trading for is a very good shape NSX. Great handling, nice car but I don't think it would every be as fast as the MR2.

Theere are a few Lotus's I would take 2005 Exige Sport, 340r, 250M and probably a good shape late 80s Esprite.

There are of course a number of Ferraris.

I am sorry I know some one will be crushed to here this but I would only take a Porche if I was planning to sell it.

As much as I love my 2, I'd drop her in a heartbeat for an FD or E46 Bimma!!:bigpimp:

sorry to bump this old thread but the first time ever some guy came up to me at the gas station and asked how much i would i sell my car for "straight up" made me think of this thread. Didnt actually get a price. i prolly would have laughed at his offer either way

Probably dreaming:
1. Any Ferrari (who would do that?) :rofl:
2. Porsche Boxter or late 80's 924

Maybe :
3. BMW Snitzer
4. 89 Supercharged with low kms. no rust
5. 99 Eclipse AWD

Reality:
Money $$$ :D

I'd trade my mr2 for a supercharged s2000.

I woudln' t be overly happy with the speed compared to what my "always-broken" mr2 would have been. But it would still be fast.

But super happy about the other 9 categories. looks, reliability, handling, style, reliability, gas miliage, reliability, reliability, reliability,


Oh wait. That's pretty much what happend.......

I've driven "James" Mr2 RHD, and its a lot easier to get used to than people think. I dorve for like 10 minutes than i was fine, almost forgot i was on the wrong side....or should i say the....right....side. lol

BTW, RHD or not.....MR2's are fast as hell!!

I did?? :confused: If I did, I was probably joking, LOL.

edit: whoa, you posted that in '05!!

I dont think theres anything out there that i would trade my mr2 for...within reason that someone would actually offer me of course. I especially wont want to sell it after i paint it etc.. this winter.

IMHO driving RHD is easier for me now that i actually drive one. i dont even like to drive LHD anymore. i dont know what im going to do when i get another car, it has to be RHD for life now i think... where am i gonna find an 04 Range Rover in RHD??? IM NOT!

I would probably trade it for a mkiv or an elise (hey, you didnt say it had to be realistic). oh and I have a rhd (coming) :drama:

I would trade for a built S14 or FD, or a boosted IS300 or Mk4 supra and of course an exotic. I like to mix it up, dont usually keep cars for very long.
But my mr2 has been damn reliable since day 1, so it would be very very hard to sell/trade.
14 pounds daily and goin strong for at least 4 months now. (knocks on wood)


RHD FTW!

i think it would only be fair to trade your car for something of equal value or the amount you've put into it.

so more than half of the comparisons here are not applicable.

Thats not the point, Its saying what car would make you want to trade your mr2 for it, if someone was offering it.
