You'd definitely wanna have the VIN checked out before making any exchange. Same as any car though.
Probably the only reason the ad is still up.
If the body is clean, anything on top of that is a bonus for $1500, way i see it.
Always loved the mk1. Makes me wish sometimes i wasn't the average white mans height

I'd be concerned about a rusty floor. That seat bracket is hella rusty, and the fact that there is a rust puddle on the carpet under the pedals and the window is down in all the photos...

I would have offered over asking. Bruce emailed me back when the RX7 sold. I have no idea how somebody was able to contact him before me. Maybe he read his emails newest to oldest? I was wondering who else has cash on a Sunday. My buddies and I were thinking it was a bogus ad, especially how he wanted the car to go to a good home, way too much personal info in ad. I guess you never can tell.
For more specs on the car look back here on RS were is was posted and sold several years back. I copied and pasted his description into google and the RS post was there, another reason I was sceptical.

Sometimes a shitty vapour barrier in the door kills a floor. Good part is - as long as the repair is solid you never see it. It's not THAT expensive compared to typical bodywork and paint.
that car is gross - but for the right guy, it's cheap.

who said it here, when buying used you're buying the previous owner, not the vehicle
no title and and the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey inside, i wouldn't even want it in my sight
pennies on the dollar and you have too much time, but probably right that's the cheapest ticket into MR
i guess to say a good deal isn't always a good buy
nobody just abandons a MR2, unless  | |

I don't buy the buying the previous owner thing... sometimes maybe? But just like one of those home renovation shows, some people see the beauty in something or can imagine better than others what something COULD be... that's what you're buying...
Any old car in need of restoration looks exactly like that inside. I've bought at least 3 cars that looked like before. I didn't succeed in getting too far with a couple of them due to practicality / life concerns, but I also didn't lose money on them either.
There's lots to love about a MK1 MR2... but as anyone that has owned one can attest to there's also a lot to potentially hate too. If you join the BCMR2 page there's quite a few derelict ones changing hands here and there.

I don't think it's that bad. You can see the car cover next to it in the pic posted, and it's been parked on gravel/cement, not grass or a moisture retaining surface.
If it's still around after i clear up some space, maybe I'll go have a look. Only way to know.

I’ve texted him a couple times to no avail so far...
Edit: He responded, wouldn’t give me the VIN# and said it was abandoned at one of his buildings and he’s getting his lawyer to get the papers and once he has them he will be asking “much much more” for the car
Sounds like a mess, not interested

Hairy car to drive and requires plenty of respect to drive.
Nice example and unusual color. Will be a nice car to keep around imo https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds...173534307.html
Dafuq is this.

^ I only knew those existed because their injector seals are an upgrade for my Jeep 
That's a hell of a unicorn to import though.
