Hi guys:
This is my first post here and hope to join this community with an MR2.
My other car that has a bit of cult following is a Suzuki Swift GT. I had a new swift back in the day and used to race with MR2's. It could hang with the N/A surprisingly. The MR2 was the car to have but it was out of my reach then. Well I can afford to relive my youth now, call it mid-life...
I am patiently looking for one. If any of you are thinking of passing on the torch or know of one available, please post or pm.
I prefer an '89, white, blue, oh that two tone grey is the ultimate like someone mentioned, less than 150000kms, with AC, no body kits and little to no mods. If its condition is good and price is right I am open to consider an '88 and other colours etc. A rust free car is more important than the mechanics since I can wrench it myself or have my nephew's garage fix things.
Canadian car is ideal but will consider one from the west coast states. The exchange rate and duty don't help though.
I have been keeping an eye out on CL, eBay, kijiji, etc for a couple of years. I have seen a few in person but couldn't pull the trigger for various reasons. And I have missed a few good ones for cheap on ebay because I could not travel down to inspect due to work. Most importantly I rather pay more for one from a real mr2 enthusiast who has taken care of the car properly.
I hope to hear from you. Wish me luck...
