After some long thinking I've decided to put my MR2 Turbo up for sale.  I just don't drive her enough with all my kids so I need something bigger.  This is the 4th MR2 that I've owned and by far the best. 152,xxx miles on the odometer.  White exterior on black/grey leather interior.   I'm the 3rd owner and have had the car for about 4 years.  She is "lightly modded" with a Twos R Us manual boost controller (see photo) and a K&N air filter intake.  Other than that, the engine is stock and completely dependable.  With the boost at stock levels the car is fast, with it turned up to 12 it really flies and pulls strong.  

I've recently done a complete tune up (new cap/rotor/plugs/fuel filter), changed transmission oil (Redline MT-90), flushed and replaced coolant (Toyota Red), and done an oil/filter change.  The car doesn't need any work to be a daily driver or weekend funster.

Other upgrades include: New 2-tone leather seating surfaces (black with grey inserts) and shift boot.  New MR2 floor mats from Twos R Us.  EMS digital boost gauge integrated into dash (where stock gauge was located) JVC touch screen DVD system with full iPod/iPhone connectivity and Bluetooth for music, phone and navigation along with back-up camera.  The 600 watt Jenson amp and Bazooka Tube subwoofer makes the stereo sound great for those drives with the T-tops off.    B&M short shifter.  The AC has had the conversion to R134a and works great. New battery.   The car is complete and everything works.  I even still have the original sunshades and storage bags for the T-tops.

The exterior looks great with only a few barely visible dings.(tried to show some in photos)  No dents or scratches. Upgraded '94+ tail lights.  Aftermarket Momo wheels over 205/50ZR16 Goodyear Eagle F1 Z rated tires that are fairly new.   I would give the exterior a 9/10 and the interior 9.5/10.  The car looks amazing for being 22 years old. 

The only quirk about the interior is that I had the leather seats made by an online vendor that manufactures in China.  I sent them a graphic (see photo).  When they enlarged it instead of it reading "Midship Runabout" (as in MR2) they embroidered Mids Hip Runa Bout.  I think it was a language barrier thing.  I doesn't really bother me but it might bug some bidders.  In any event the seats are really high quality leather with double stitching (see photo).

The car does have a salvage title.  Apparently the original owner had an accident where the front bumper needed to be replaced.  There is no visible damage and the car drives straight and handles like it is on rails. 

E-mail me with questions or for specific photos. Local buyers are welcome to set up an appointment to take a look or test drive.

Toyota To Stop Building Cars In Australia

Tue, Feb 11 2014

Toyota said Monday it will stop making cars in Australia by the end of 2017, spelling a final blow to auto manufacturing in the country, where car companies say high production costs and tough competition have crippled business conditions. Toyota's announcement, which will result in the loss of around 2,500 jobs, was widely anticipated, coming just two months after General Motors Co. said it would end production in Australia by 2017. Ford Motor Co. announced in May that it would cease Australian production in 2016. All told, some 6,600 manufacturing jobs will be lost between the three companies. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. stopped manufacturing in Australia in 2008. Toyota Motor Corp. said its decision was based on a combination of factors including the high Australian dollar, the high cost of manufacturing and competition. "We did everything that we could to transform our business," Toyota Australia CEO Max Yasuda said in a statement. "But the reality is that there are too many factors beyond our control that make it unviable to build cars in Australia." Toyota President Akio Toyoda delivered the news to workers at the company's Altona plant near Melbourne, where he paid tribute to 50 years of Toyota cars being built in Australia. "To now have to deliver this news to the very people we have worked so hard with, to the many people who have supported our production for so many years, is most regretful for Toyota and, for me personally, simply heartbreaking," he said. Toyota, which has been manufacturing cars in Australia since 1963, currently makes the Camry, Camry Hybrid and Aurion in the country. It will become a sales company. Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane said Toyota had not asked the government for any financial assistance in the lead-up to its decision. The government had subsidized auto manufacturing, hoping to keep the industry alive as it supports tens of thousands of jobs in other areas including auto parts. Holden, which is the Australian arm of GM, received 1.8 billion Australian dollars ($1.6 billion) in federal government assistance in the past 11 years. Auto makers in Australia produced about 178,000 cars in 2012, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers.

400-hp Toyota Hybrid-R Concept gets second teaser

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

Toyota has released a second teaser of its Hybrid-R Concept, along with an estimation of the show car's power output. Using technology that's "similar to that used by Toyota Racing's TS030 Hybrid race car," the concept is expected to deliver over 400 horsepower.
The press release also mentions that the new concept is based on a current production model. While it's difficult to tell from the sole teaser image of the car's body, rumors are flying that it's related to the Yaris. If that's the case, though, it's difficult to know what to make of this concept. The teaser image is quite dark, but we played around with the exposure and came up with an image that reveals more details about the new concept. Take a look at the related gallery, below, to see the high-exposure image. We'll find out for certain what the Hybrid-R is in a few weeks at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Let us know what you think Toyota's newest concept is in the comments.

Toyota and Suzuki are looking at an R&D partnership because they admit they're behind

Wed, Oct 12 2016

The Chairman of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Osamu Suzuki, and the President of Toyota, Akio Toyoda, have convened at Toyota's Tokyo offices to declare plans to join hands regarding research and development. According to Toyoda, Toyota "hasn't been good at creating alliances," and its partnership with the small carmaker Daihatsu has been the most well-known collaboration so far. Perhaps the comment has a tinge of regret from Toyota and GM's NUMMI days in Fremont, especially as the statement released by Toyota says that "Toyota is conscious of the fact that it may be behind competitors in North America and Europe when it comes to the establishment of standardizations and partnership with other companies." But as different technologies advance at breakneck speed and it is difficult for companies both big and small to stay competitive, let alone ahead of the game, Toyota is accepting the need for collaboration. Toyoda referred to passenger safety, environmental issues, automated driving, and hydrogen technology, all of which are key challenges for any carmaker looking to stay relevant, and all expensive to experiment with. Spreading the cost over more vehicles should help. "We received an offer from Suzuki regarding collaboration possibilities on advanced and future technologies such as in information technology. Suzuki made a frank proposal to us, and in understanding that Toyota is facing the challenges which I had mentioned earlier, we thought that with the relationship between both companies, there is an opportunity for a business partnership to help solve such challenges. As such, we decided to explore such possibilities together," said Toyoda. In the future, Daihatsu will still be Toyota's tool in emerging markets, but now Toyota could have access to Suzuki's small-car know-how. Osamu Suzuki acknowledges that "Suzuki's current business focuses on minivehicles in Japan and India," as Suzuki withdrew from the US and Canada in 2013. A joint effort will help Suzuki remain relevant, and as a manufacturer of predominantly small vehicles it has been focusing on competitive pricing more than cutting edge technology. Related Video:
