Hello and thank you viewing this auction. This is my first Mr2 so those of you in the know please feel free to educate me on the facts about this awesome Mr2. no warranty, no guaranty. you are buying this Mr2 "as is".
one issue; I just registered the title so it will be 4 weeks until I can overnight it to the winner of the auction. the title is clear no liens or anything like that.
this car has been a one owner car until I bought it a few days ago and he has 2 other vehicles that's how it has such low miles, it has been garaged its whole life, it has no modifications/completely original and is as the 1st owner bought it off the showroom floor. it has never been stunted or raced. never driven in the snow, it has spent its whole life in eastern Washington. the only rust I've been able to find is a small area on the battery hold down bracket.
the seat "covers" are nearly as old as the car so the seats upholstery is in excellent condition the rest of the interior is in pretty good shape also.
original stereo and speakers, still sounds really good.
original sunroof interior cover. I drove the car home in a downpour - not a drop from sunroof seal.
nearly new battery
nearly new tires. original small spare.
it does have a original rear window visor which has multiple paint specks or something "etched" into it.
no known major issues, it still feels tight when accelerating and turning. I started once releasing the clutch too quickly and too little throttle and the engine still didn't hesitate or knock.
as listed earlier this Mr2 does have normal wear and tear. rock chips in the paint, one noticeable rock chip in the windshield, a couple of parking lot dings like a door edge or shopping cart would inflict, the front air dam under the bumper has wear area across most of its bottom edge and has quite a few rock chip spots. I am trying to be very descriptive but please note these are all minor/normal wear and tear issues my intention is that you are able to able to make the most informed decision possible about this Mr2. a really good detailer could fine tune the chips and dings easily, I'm pretty sure this car has never been detailed, it hasn't really needed it. when I pull up to the Toyota owners club meeting the car gets plenty of adulation.
the "original" paint job overall is in pretty good shape, not noticeably faded "thanks to it garage life" but does have normal scratches from cleaning and the above mentioned minor chips and dings and scratches.
the parking brake holds well and feels "tight/fresh".
please feel free to ask questions and offer factoids.
as mentioned no warranty, no guaranty. sold as is, where is.
here's thought; if any of you "actual bidders" are serious about the miles, let me know, I'll stop driving it. it is such a head turner :)

Toyota recalling select 2014 Camry and Avalon models
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Toyota has announced a rather small voluntary recall, affecting 5,650 Avalon and Camry sedans from model year 2014. Both gas and hybrid models are included in the action.
This recall focuses on the left front lower suspension arm, which may have a bad bolt connecting it to the ball joint. If the car hits a big enough pothole - a real concern as we head into winter - or suffers a major impact, the two components could separate, at which point steering control would more or less vanish.
According to Toyota, there have been no crashes, injuries or deaths due to this problem. Toyota is notifying owners, who will need to report to dealers for a free replacement lower suspension arm.
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
Toyota ad says fuel cell cars are inevitable
Fri, Sep 19 2014Toyota's confidence in H2 technology remains as strong as ever. The company has released a new commercial that says it's not a matter of if we all start driving hydrogen cars, but when. In fact, the 70-second spot calls 2015 the turning point for the alternative powertrain technology. Here's a bit of the voiceover for the animated spot, which to our eyes and ears comes off as more than a little defensive: There will be the naysayers. The handbrakes, who say that it can't be done. that it's unsafe. That there's no infrastructure to support it. Then there'll be the trailblazers. The first to put up their hand, and put down their foot. The bold few, driven to be remembered as those who made a difference. And perhaps, the ones that made all the difference. In the end, Toyota says, we're all going to be driving hydrogen cars, starting perhaps with the company's first H2 sedan which will go on sale next year. But, if the early comments on the video's YouTube page are any indication, then Toyota's might be a bit lonely driving down the hydrogen highway.
