For sale is my '01 Toyota MR2 Spyder. This can be described as a collectible car, since they don't make MR2s anymore. Has unique features usually reserved for luxury sports cars: <>Rear wheel drive <>Four-wheel ventilated disc brakes <>Well-balanced Mid-engine design <>Race-car-derived chassis layout <>Race car handling <>0-60 in ~7 secs <>Manual wind blocker (keeps hats on even at freeway speeds) <>Stylized side air intakes <>Drilled pedals and <>Genuine glass rear window with Defogger. Feels great cruising with the top down, enjoying the California sun. The steering is very responsive, it requires almost no space to make a u-turn. Park it in the tightest spots, slide into parallel parking, no problem. This car sticks to the ground like it's running on tracks, very fun to cruise in! I always see people looking at this car when it drives by them. It's one of those RARE, eye-catching & head-turning kind of car. Best of all, it's affordable, easy to maintain, ultra-reliable (built in Japan), and a fuel efficient Gas Saver. This MR2 is in great shape. I just had it detailed, and fluid levels checked. Mechanical condition is very good to excellent: car runs smoothly, no mechanical problems, with practically new tires, recently replaced suspension and clutch. Only the battery may need replacing in the future. The body and interior are in good to very good condition, top works well, paint is shiny, and car has no dents. It has the regular wear and tear of ownership: a few small paint scratches/peel (see photos), a small rip on the cloth top near the rear window (see photos), a small blemish on the glove compartment (see photo), and regular wear on the steering wheel leather and shifter knob (see photos). None are very noticeable, you'd need to look closely to see them. This car has been well maintained and lightly used. It has no accidents, and low miles. Recently purchased my MR2 from a friend in Arizona, but, I've decided to sell it to cover extra health bills. No Reserve, so, the highest bidder takes it. Car is sold as is, no warranties. AZ plates, registration expires in Feb 2012, easy to register in CA (Registration is like any other car purchased in CA). Buyer responsible for any DMV/ Shipping fees. This Car is Ready To Go, Perfect for the Summer Ahead!
