Title: Do I need another MR2 ...?
Post by: s12vea on February 10, 2017, 10:26
Due to a change in work location I'm thinking of buying another mr2 to uses as a daily driver, while the green one is tucked away till the summer

Must be :-

facelift
Low mileage
Hardtop
Ideally local

If anyone has anything close to the above please let me know.

Thanks  s:) :) s:)

And there was me thinking you had kicked you habit!

Now we have to restart all your MR2A badges again!  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:   s;-) ;-) s;-)

There is a cheeky yellow one for sale that you haven't had before.
It meets one of your criteria, has a hardtop!  s;-) ;-) s;-)

What happend to red turbo? I havent even driven my green since buying it and now bought another.
Title: Re: Do I need another MR2 ...?
Post by: s12vea on February 20, 2017, 21:58
The red turbo is no more as the paintwork was unsavable. The parts have made many other members cars better.

Why haven't you driven the green one?
Title: Re: Do I need another MR2 ...?

Steve, I'm considering selling Foxy around June/July basically because I'm moving jobs and it will mean I wont have any time to drive her which breaks my heart.  I brought her end Jan 2016, first reg Sept 05, Mot Nov 2017, I'm 3rd lady owner, full toyota history, 54k now but will go up abit.  4 new Falkens at 50k, wheels refurbished last year. New auxilliary belt. New Brake fluid in Nov 2016. Drains unblocked last year. New idle control valve last year. As you can see, I've had alot done to Foxy in a short time. Just purchased some fog lights from Hamish this weekend as one is corroded. I'm looking at £3,750 when I come to sell her sadly. Anyway, you maybe wanting a 2 much quicker but just thought I've got plans to sell.  Cant believe I'm doing this a second time!  s:( :( s:(

I've finally found a really clean example to be a stable mate for Greeny Should be collecting Monday / Tuesday

It's been a while since I've driven a standard roadster and she drives silky smooth   s8) 8) s8)  

And has 15 main stealer service stamps in book and huge stack of invoices  not bad for a 55 reg  s:crazyeyes: :crazyeyes: s:crazyeyes:  

Some plans for the future and pictures to follow once she has been detailed

Yes this one has a hardtop. If I hadn't found this one I would of bought yours.

It's tough finding a good one, this has taken me a lot longer than I expected.

Post by: Chilli Girl on September 3, 2017, 13:59
Maybe that is the final lesson to me to keep Foxy after all then.  As you say, not many low milers sound honest ones around these days!  I'm pleased you found one, you've done me a favour Steve.  Whether I move or not, Foxy is coming with me!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:     s:D :D s:D

Post by: Bernie on September 3, 2017, 19:23
If you have a decent 2 these days there is no point selling up you will only get peanuts and when you realise the mistake you have made very limited options
Never selling mine on the face of it 2004 with 46,000 miles is worth maybe £3,500
Mods into many  £1,000's count for nothing
