Rain Forest Green Pearl MR2 Spyder with tan leather interior. I've owned this car for almost 7 years now. I bought a new daily driver, and I have a project Spyder I'm building up, so this one has to go. Will come with stock wheels (painted black) with decent tires (the pics show winter tires on there). This car runs and drives great, and is a ton of fun (literally - it's 2150 lbs). It's not the best 53K mile spyder out there, but it runs and drives great. The Good: 53K +/- miles (I'm driving it on and off, so actual will vary by a small amount)SMT works without a hitchPre-cats have been gone since 23K miles (when I bought it). Exhaust manifold is ceramic coated, heat shields are in place.Does not burn oil. Been treated to synthetic 5w-30 every 3-4K miles since I've owned it. Trans has been kept with fresh Redline MT-90.NJ Inspection good through 6/2015The interior leather is good, the carpet & mats are good (a little dirty, but it is winter), the dash etc is all good.I just had it re-aligned in the fall, all is spot-on.All stock except for: 2003+ headlights, with 6000K 55W HIDs (cost over $500) Che's adjustable rear suspension arms (all 3 sets) (Cost over $400) Corky's Beast Plate - this really firms the chassis ($160) Front lower brace (TRD-clone)Koni shocks (with stock springs) (cost over $600) Slightly upgraded stereo system (Scion HU with coaxials in the doors)Aftermarket sway bar end linksSlotted/drilled rotors, newish ceramic pads F&R (less than 6K miles)Rear decklid spoiler (TRD-clone)2003+ side vents The Bad: The soft top has several patches. I have a replacement soft top new-in-the-box that I am willing to sell to the winning bidder at $100 less than the best eBay price, but it's not a give-away item. Previous Salvage title. I bought it in 2007 with a Texas Salvage title and brought it through NJ structural inspection. It now has a NJ title (there is no such animal as rebuilt or branded NJ title, it's just a regular old title and can be registered and insured in any state + Canada). I've been driving it for the past 7 years. Autocheck and Carfax show the same salvage incident 3 or 4 times - jolly nice of them. It was hit (1), sold to a wholesaler (2), sold to me and legally registered in NJ as salvage (3), and then titled in NJ after passing the state structural inspection (4). Carfax also indicates I had the oil changed 2 years ago in Kentucky with different mileage on the odometer. Highly unlikely I'd do a 1000 mile round-trip for an oil change; the odometer reading is genuine on this car at +/- 53K. The paint looks great in the pictures, real good from from the street, not so good close up. There are some flaws, nicks and minor dings. Terms: Paypal deposit after the auction ends, balance due in cash or certified funds within 7 days. You are welcome to check the car out before bidding, but only bid what you expect to spend - your bid is a binding offer to buy at that price, not a starting point for negotiations. Also, don't expect to get a bank loan for a 12-yr old car; if you don't have the funds, please don't bid. This is a private sale, as-is, where-is, no warranty expressed or implied. Shipping: I'm happy to help you ship the car at your expense. I'm not going to drive it 250 miles to meet you halfway, though.
