Single owner yellow 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder for sale. This is an amazing car, and it is only being sold because we have run out of room. This car has always been garage kept, very well treated, serviced regularly (synthetic oil). This convertible is one of the most fun 2 door convertibles ever made, and was one of the first non-exotic cars with a sequential manual gearbox. So it has all the benefits of a manual car, but shifts without a clutch. You can use the gear lever to shift up/down or use the shift controls on the steering wheel for speed. I also added a small turbo charger (6 PSI) to this car early on which adds just that little bit of extra kick to the engine. The engine appears to have been designed to handle more power, but probably never sold enough for TRD to add the turbo. The turbo doesn't impact fuel efficiency until you put your foot down, and then it spins up quickly and gives that bit of extra power. Only down side is that you have to use premium fuel. But the high quality turbo came with an O'Grady engine management computer, which can be tuned further if you'd like (I left it at the default safe settings). The modifications include an improved air filter, and the turbo really gives the exhaust an even better note. The turbo charge kit details are: Power Enterprise MR2 Spyder Turbo Kit (Fully Ported Turbo) $3,520.00MWR GReddy e-Manage Package - Toyota 1ZZ-FE Turbo Preprogrammed $549.00 2003 was the year the car received both functional and cosmetic changes. The chassis was stiffened for better handling, and the lights and interiors received cosmetic rework. Also the SMT was changed from 5 to 6 gears. Never have had any accidents or issues with this car, always serviced by Toyota (even after turbo kit). The clutch for SMT was replaced around 30K as part of the turbo addition work. If you have ever driven an MR2 Spyder you know there is nothing quite like it (unless you have a Lotus Elise), and with the extra pick up it really becomes the car it always wanted to be. A good handling car, very comfortable for daily driving, yet pretty sharp in handling. Currently has performance tires (rather than all season), but this car was never driven in the late fall and winter months (we put in away in the garage for the winter every year from Nov to April or so). Really can't recommend this car for driving in snow. But this car has an amazing heater, you can easily drive with the top down and heat on even when weather outside is around 40 degrees. With windows up the inside wind noise and turbulance is pretty low. The manual convertible top is in great shape, works very well. The interior is in very good shape, just a small amount of age, but nothing like what you'd expect for a 10 year old car. The exterior paint is in very good shape, a few small dings and chips, but nothing major. The paint and clearcoat are in very good shape as they were not exposed much to the elements and the car always has been polished. Includes original manuals and tools. Ask any questions you may have before bidding, happy to answer. If you want to buy the car with buy it now and want to see it before contact me to make arrangements.
