I have a 1986 MR2, manual. I have had it since new. I want to sell it - don't want to scrap it!
LOCATION: Right now it is at Broadway and Fraser, Vancouver, at mechanics.
Things that could use attention:
needs new heating core - is bypassed right now and okay for summer
has some oil leaks (I think reasonable for the age of the car)
emergency break a bit loose
breaks need adjusting
shocks probably not good
check one tire - may leak at rim (not sure)
needs one orange light lens (broken lens is there but taped)
It has never failed air care - but now has been sitting for about 10 months or so.
I'm putting in a new battery, and my mechanic has inspected it for what it needs - list available.
Milage low for the age - will have to check exact milage, but maybe around 200,000.
Has had body work. Not perfect but looks pretty good. (At mechanics - dusty from sitting - needs a wash and I think will look fine).
Accidents:
1) Someone hit right back corner light and body around 1988. I had it professionally repaired by great body shop.
2) Small rear-ender, hit a bit to the right - around 1992. No damage except needed realignment which I had done.
3) Small rear-ender (tap) around 2000. No damage at all.
4) Car grazed and swiped in parking lot around 2006. Left rear tire-well damaged - got body work done - did both sides at the same time.
If someone wants to buy it "as is" with new battery and inspection list directly from my mechanic's lot, I'm open to any reasonable offer. I'm
really flexible because otherwise I'll have to insure it, and pay to park it somewhere!
I just love that car and I think someone ought to be able to enjoy it!
(I'm looking for pictures I have stored somewhere!)
