2002 Toyota MR2

Description

This is the kind of car that goes right to the top of the future collectible list. 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder is a mid-engine two-seat convertible sports car with Toyota practicality backing it. So to have something that's fun, loaded, and this well engineered is the kind of car that will always shave appeal.

The MR2 is a car that has always stood for spirited driving. You can see that in the design. The front has a low sloping trunk like a Porsche 911; the sides channel the air like the latest Corvette; and the rear deck looks like a Lamborghini. But best of all, it has the build quality of a Japanese car. So while this one has been enjoyed over the last couple of decades, it still has the underlying feeling of sturdiness of a well-built machine.

The black folding roof looks good against the silver paint, and so you'll be happy to see there's a black interior underneath it, too. Buckets seats, a well-placed gearshift, and a full set of white-faced gauges make for a great sports car. It's unknown if the odometer reflects the car's full actual mileage, but the overall condition is quite good and looks very stock. Even the dash looks good under the protective pad. The only piece of wear you may notice is the driver's seat, and that's expected in a car that's made to hit the road. And the value price leaves room for repairs if you so desire. Plus, from day one you have a loaded machine that includes power windows, power locks, power steering, an alarm, dual airbags, anti-lock brakes, and the factory AM/FM/CD stereo w/cassette. Best of all, it's always great to have cold-blowing air conditioning in a drop-top like this.

Power comes from Toyota's fuel-injected 1.8-liter DOHC powerplant with VVT-i. If that sounds like a bunch of alphabet soup to you, just know this is an engine that will feel very sporty from a standstill and pulls strong through all gears in the five-speed manual transmission. And not only do you have lively power and good control, but the mid-engine placement is a hallmark of the MR2 that gives it a terrific center of gravity. That's why it has made these such a favorite of those who love the back roads. The sport-tuned independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes are part of a harmonious package that will make you search for the long way home.

Complete with owner's manual packet, the MR2 Spyder is a true driver's convertible. So it's time to get your hands on one before the market really starts to appreciate them. Call today!!!
