1987 Toyota MR2 - $5500 (Richmond)

Quote:

1987 Toyota MR2, natural aspirated, manual transmission rebuilt a year ago with brand new clutch, no rust, wheels refinished, timing belt and water pump replaced approximately 40,000km ago - right now the odometer is at just above 142,000km.

Exterior and interior both in good condition, comes with original OEM radio, doesn't take much to restore to collector status.

Clean title, purchased from an older couple approximately 2 years ago. Text me if you'd like to see the car in person.

Could be a good buy if the AW11's are your cup of tea.

I assume it’s been discussed in the comments, but no accidents? The back bumper isn’t even close to the same shade of red as the body.

Yes . No . after market support is high. and the engine is the same as the AE86.. but it is a really old car.. parts for my SW20 were pretty easy with the RHD market populating the shoress

I obviously can't do math before I've had my morning coffee. In my head I've always assumed that the 90's weren't that long ago and I'm not old. Oh the cars that I would buy if that were the case...

On a car that you would reasonably expect to drive, no.

This is obviously never going to be driven and, in the unlikely scenario where it will be, it’ll definitely need new tires.

2 CJ 8 Scramblers $6500
Tan one has a crate motor and transmission was rebuilt before. Includes full metal doors/glass and FG HT.

Brown one is all original with good soft doors and top, iirc.

I'd get the brown one to run/drive/stop and sell it for more than you paid for both, then build the Tan one. It was a beast, last time it was on the road. Plus it includes impossible to find parts

I'd say that most stuff is available one way or another, but a lot has been discontinued so you end up on the hunt for used parts.

the FiST seems to be very good value for the fun and practicality....


https://vancouver.craigslist.org/rds...757791371.html

nice daily/ get around car. 6MT turbo, recaro seats, bbs wheels !

320icar 12-30-2018 02:40 PM

The fiST are light and take mods well. Only real issues I have with them are...

- very light with 205/40r17 tires. So when you hit bumps it hits hard and the cars light enough to reall bounce
- a lot of NVH, huge difference compared to a foST driving back to back
- interior layout and build quality, although the car is fun to drive you never forget that its roots are the cheapest car ford offer

But if I didn’t need to put kids or store stuff in the car and just wanted a weekend carver, I’d have one over a focus ST. If I was my only car, foST for sure

Here's a good question. FiST or Fiat 500 Abarth?

I was thinking the same.

FiST has the five door appeal and probably better ride quality.

Having owned the Abarth, car in stock for is a hoot to drive and looks great especially with a bit of lowering. car has tons of personality and the exhaust note is intoxicating/ exotic at the same time.

twitchyzero 12-30-2018 03:54 PM

fiesta if it comes with recaro and if you care about resale..also slightly faster

abarth all the way though...lighter, more quirky appeal and not made in mexico

both will become harder to find with ford pulling out of car production and fiat doesn't look like it'll stick around north america for much longer

Isn't Alfa Romeo doing okay?
