i was going to say the tail lights but now im confused.

Looks almost identical to my old USDM 91 MR2 I sold a few years ago. I kind of want to see if it is...

[Tej.S]

Beats me, tell us why

I requested the seller send me the VIN. Lets see what it turns up.

The price?

[ExtraSlow]

Because it's actually a ferarri with a rare MR2 full body kit on it?

[NoMoreG35]

The 3S-GTE engine?

Not the tail lights. Those are '94 lights. Also the wing is a '94 wing.

Probably even the motor too...

It's a Gen2 motor in that car not the coveted Gen3 motor.
No bulky AFM, stock catch can.

NoMoreG35 is RIGHT.

Regardless, it looks IMMACULATE. Would buy.

Basically the first thing that came to mind. wow.

For $25K?

I doubt Redlyne could even sell his car for $25k. Even with an autographed dash and framed photo with the new owner.

I had the Gen 3 engine in mine. Same wing/tails/rims/colour though...

[Tik-Tok]

If I were rich (like multi-millionaire rich), I'd have a huge collection of cars, and would definitely pay $25g for a ultra-low KM MR2, so long as it was provable.

If you had the old VIN, should compare it if we can get the VIN on this one.

You always negotiate on pricing.

This is a legit 94 USM mr2 from what I can tell Mike. The USDM's came with gen 2 3sgtes. Are you tired this morning?

hahaha definitely couldn't get $25K for my car unless I included some locks of hair.

Corrected by the MR2 Wikipedia himself, Redlyne.

I guess I'm just so used to working on and seeing JDM's lately. All the 94 JDM's have Gen3 motors. So why did the US get the shaft and still had the old Gen2 motors?

Basically, the only reason people go for the later model is for that coveted Gen3 motor.

We didn't get the gen 3 because of Califonia emissions, you'll notice no charcoal canister in the gen 3s.

This seems like a reasonable price. My Canadian 91T has 33,000 original kms on it and I wouldn't sell it if someone offered me $25,000.
