Definitely. Who knows what they are worth to MR2 collectors though.

I'm kind of skeptical that it doesn't have rust. first places to spot are the rear arches and spoiler. My old celica supra suffered the same issues as with my AE92.

I've never seen a MK1 without rust somewhere in the rear fenders unless they were replaced... they actually make reproduction replacements now, but it's still a hefty bill for autobody. If this was an 89 it would be worth more, but I wouldn't pay more than $6-7k for this if everything checks out and that's speaking as an enthusiast of MR2's... (disclaimer: I own a MK2 SW20 though, not a huge MK1 guy).

The rear arches always rust on the 1st gen, so if it really is rust free and all original then I'd say it's well worth the price. I've ridden in and driven a couple and I've never been in anything else quite like them.

For anyone looking for a e39 m5 driver this one doesn't seem ridiculously priced. One owner, $16.5k for 190k, seller says it has replaced engine by the dealership 95k ago. Although seller says there was an incident on the highway which blew 2 tires and underside damage that supposedly fixed by dealer. The vin number shows it to be a 2001 model(seems odd that the owner is advertising it as a 2000), and a Canadian car. 2000 BMW 5 Series M5 4dr Sdn 6-Spd Manual - SURREY $16,500 | autoTRADER.ca

If anyone's looking for a cheap off-roader. I've always loved these FJs, so sad they got discontinued. https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/nvn/...470361001.html
Very high mileage but if all maintenance checks out (owner claims comp test was 160psi for all cyl), it shouldn't be an issue. Also mostly highway miles. My Element was also 350,000kms+ with 80% highway miles it's whole life, zero leaks anywhere, didn't burn a single drop of oil and comp test also came out perfect.

Wow, that's super cheap!
My '08 CSX has been fine apart from a random seized caliper.

Some csx have required transmission rebuilt, wouldnt say its common tho, but i've seen it happen a few times.
That one has a few accidents, and some unknown claim history. Looks like a decent buy, but as always do a thorough check for sure

That CSX would be perfect for a FD2-R conversion.

Mine doesn't like shifting at high rpm either. There's a TSB for it, but now all these cars are long out of warranty, so it's expensive to fix.

It was listed at $8800. Apparently he's found a Venza that he's looking to purchase for his kid that's on the way that's why it's dropped down to $7000 now.
