Please no more inquiries. This one is already on its way to a new home  :) :(


Getting off the rx7 beaten path with this one, but I know there are some mr2 nuts here and y'all have historically seemed to like my ads so I thought I'd post this one here  :cheers:

For Sale – Black 1992 Toyota Mr2 Turbo Sunroof + 3rd gen swap. ~100k miles on engine, 218k miles on chassis located in Nashville, TN. VIN = JTSW22M8N0058523

Asking $4000

I am posting this for my brother who has owned the car for the last 9 years. I originally bought the car in 2003 with 80k miles on it and owned it until 2009 when I bought my rx7 and sold the mr2 to my brother who has owned it until now. I’m helping him out because I’m a longtime member here plus I also know some of the back-history of the car. You can call/txt him (Robert) directly at 850-532-1075 or email @ theseus180 on gmail, or PM me here and I’ll forward you to him.

The Good:
Mechanically, this is a very sorted car. There are no known problems with the powertrain and the car rides and pulls strong. Adult owned and never tracked. The current engine and turbo have always been set for 13psi of boost to make a quick reliable DD. Care has been taken to maintain the car and keep it reliable for both ownerships as this car has served as a DD in both cases which it has done perfectly. Engine is healthy, clutch bites, LSD trans shifts perfectly with no syncro issues, and there are no electrical gremlins. Cranks right up and drives like a car ¼ its age.
Passes TN emissions with flying colors
Rust free, southeast car owned in MS, AL, TN, and TX.
Excellent paperwork and records while under our ownership that comes in a chock full folder with sale
Non-smoker
Clear Carfax
BGB Shop manuals included


The Bad:

Paint. While there is no exposed bare metal, there are quite a few places that need attention due to being daily driven for 15 years between the two of us. When I owned the car it was resprayed after a low speed snap oversteer incident that ended up denting the rear passenger quarter panel (replaced) on a guard rail. I suspect the nice, but not premium respray is at fault. See pictures for problems spots. Car has great bones and is a good candidate for plasti-dip, wrap, or respray.
Dent – The car has a noticeable dent about the size of a 50cent piece on the roof that came from a previous hood coming unlatched while driving. It looks like something PDR could easily get out but haven’t ever tried.
Steering wheel – Showing its age with leather giving way at the top of the steering wheel
Tint = Llumar, but after ~12 years it’s got a purple tint and could use a refresh
HVAC controls – Missing its fan switch knob / AC button paint is worse for wear
Seats – Drivers seat’s stitching is failing in some spots (see pics)
AC – The system works, but has a small leak that leaks out refrigerant over several months.
Gauge Cluster - Has one backlit LED that has gone out on the drivers side. I believe I have a replacement that can go to the owner with the care sale and if not I can at least point them to the make/model so a replacement can be purchased.
Driver’s side window seems to be dragging on its regulator rails

Car is located in Columbia, TN right outside of Nashville. Selling to purchase a larger car.

Worth the asking price. If you were in RVA I would buy it just because.

Not surprised. I would have bought it with full confidence. Probably the best seller on this board.
