I own a MR2 and his dash pic is mirrored somehow like the gas gauge is where the temperature gauge is supposed to be and the odometer reset switch is on the wrong side too (should be toward the centre of the car) but the numbers are all the correct direction so it’s not like he flipped the image?? Also it should have mph in the middle too if it’s a Canadian car.

*edit: It has to be a Japanese gauge cluster... mileage must be totally fake then or just the mileage for the engine from when he bought his swap and not the chassis mileage. Buyer beware.

Also as an aside, there are no longer any matching tires available from any manufacturer for the MR2 stock 15” rims. Super annoying.

It is jdm cluster, as owner of 94 jdm turbo model. Even if you by wheels for couple of thousand you will be in 10k budget. Right now if you import 94+ from japan it would cost you not less then 10k... And you still can spend it on wheels. Like i did 2 years ago.

But atleast prices back then were lower. I'm bit sceptical about it. However, i am selling mine so i may have bias, lol

The body has over 200k kms, engine that was swapped has 100k kms. Apparently the highest bid for it now is $8500 with a lot of competing bids. This explains the $7k price, though the owner is frankly super misleading for posting the swapped ODO mileage... I'm too old for this shit.

Well, these cars valued by condition id rather say. But i have an impression that there is more to his: "It has some minor body damages therefore it reflects the price". May be there is a reason why you do not see his chrome wheels anymore. On chrome wheels photo the fog light is not damaged and OEM wheels it is. I would look for under body damage.

According to the owner, only a cracked front lip which is reflected on the asking price, however there is a bidding war going on which i do not have interest in partaking, given that the true kms of the body AND then engine are unknown. the owner states he has owned the car for 2 years and bought the car with the swap already done so i dont know what he could have spent an extra 8k on....

Then this is rediculus. You basically spend 10k (8.5 + 2k on a wheels). Then you do not know the milage + damage may be more serious. Naaah.

V10 Touareg!!!!!!!!! :sweetjesus:

It's a mystical unicorn indeed, can't believe one popped up as I'm in the process of looking for a winter car.

Good luck Skunkworks!

Thanks Ian!

And FYI, I'm not selling due to getting a VI in it lol. Listing has been in the works long before that.

Should be interesting to see how the "Canadian discount" will fare here given the fairly straight forward and laid out import process for cars over 25 years old.

You're welcome. A VI fire sale was my first thought but I could tell you were well prepared for the auction.

Fantastic presentation plus a clear and concise guide to help Americans understand the importation process.

That BMW... it is so beautiful.

I'd VI it :ifyouknow:

One was for sale pretty recently with super low mileage and a good price. I thought they were maintenance nightmares?

Would not say this is a good buy, but its a good read

Sean over at VND was telling me that they are maintenance nightmares. They shoved the V10 into a spot made for half the engine. Props to ze Germans for figuring it out, but they created a vehicle where simple belt changes require multiple book hours.

They are awesome SUVs though.

Did we know this car was going to be for sale? I remember the VI mention but nothing more. Absolutely gorgeous car. I'll be watching the auction for sure. I shoulda snagged this :(

^ Yes Oct 5th he mentioned BAT accepted his car. It is in the Latest pics of your whip thread

Oh wow.

BaT: "yeah we'll stagger the listings so there won't be similar cars in the same period."

Not one, but TWO, 325is' come up the very next day.

Hopefully the Optispark is working properly. Otherwise these things can run for a long long time.
