View Full Version : Very nice 1989 MR2, $3500 NJ


Sidewalkhead08-09-2012, 10:22 PMForgive the MR2 explanations. This is a cross post from my Craigslist ad and most people don't know how awesome the MR2 is. :D

For sale: 1989 Toyota MR2 5-spd manual with 145k. $3500 cash. Last and best year of the super-lightweight first generation. At 2350 lbs, the MK1 MR2 (AW11) is one of the lightest-weight, best-handling cars you can find.

This is a driver’s car. The 1.6L twin cam 4AGE motor is mid-mounted behind the seats for the best possible weight distribution, and drive goes out the back wheels like a proper sportscar. The peppy little motor has an ~8000 rpm redline; put your foot down and it screams along from its mount a foot away from your head. The seating position is so low you feel like you’re glued to the road, and the unspoiled, mechanical steering feel is lightyears better than over-boosted numb modern systems. It even has a mid-mounted fuel tank so that the weight of gas doesn’t throw off the balance. With one of the two sets of included sticky tires installed, you can throw the car at any turn, at nearly any speed and it will stick. If you want, every exit ramp is Eau Rouge! Drive it hard, and it never fails to bring a smile to your face.

Drive it calmly, and it’ll return 30+ MPG (37 personal best) on cheap 87 octane fuel. The car weighs so little, you can scoot it along easily in top gear at stupidly low speeds - 30 mph! It’s easy to drive in traffic; I commuted to work every single day with it for more than a year. I actually preferred it to the ’03 WRX I had at the time because it was just so much more fun and economical. Even after I got a brand new 2011 Golf, I still kept this car around for weekend driving and autocrossing. Video of it in action: 13-November 2011 South Jersey Autocross - YouTube

I hate to be selling this car, but I live alone with my dog, yet have two cars and two motorcycles. And sure as hell I’m not letting the dog ride in the MR2!

Highlights include:
• Fantastically comfortable, grippy aftermarket seats. Embroidered with MR2
• MSW 17” wheels with summer Falken 452 205-width tires – some scratches. AA-rated wet traction, only 10,000 miles on tires.
• Stock 14” aluminum wheels with super sticky Falken Azenis 615K 195-width racing tires. Top-ranked mechanical grip for autocross racing or entrance ramp bombing. • Stock 14” steel wheels with cheap 185-width beater tires for winter
• Newer Eibach Springs
• Upgraded sound system (4 speakers, mini-sub, radio)
• Easily-removable sunroof with NO LEAKS!
• Never been in an accident
• Clean NJ title
• Passed NJ Emissions
• Embroidered floor mats
• MR2-tailored quality car cover
• Year-old Carfax
• Many documents, including original sale and window sticker. I’ve had it since November of 2009.
• In two years, it will qualify for historic plates and reduced insurance costs

Recent Maintenance ( • Fresh Oil/Filter Change (Mobile 1, • Fresh Plugs ( • Timing belt
• OEM Header
• Alternator
• Battery (2010)
• Brake Pads

Many spares:
• Eight extra wheels/tires
• Extra OEM Header
• Water pump
• A/C Compressor
• Front grill
• Oil filters

Idiosyncrasies:
• Parking Brake disconnected
• A/C Deleted

What it isn’t:
• Brand new – it’s a 23 year old car.
• Fast in a straight line. – Modern engines bring vastly more horsepower, but you’ll always catch them in the bends. I’ve had faster unadjusted autocross times than: BMW 335i, Corvette, Mustang GT, Ferrari 308, and Porsche 944s.

I'd like to buy this baby before I lose my nerve to blow some cash :0) I'm located in Upstate NY, 5 miles north of Albany.
