I might buy this mr-2, not my first color of choice but it seems in good shape and has records back to 1991.

very nice, If it is the one on autotrader that I think it is, yes, turbo. However the ad is wrong because it says TT???
Don't forget the MR is more of a toy. I needed trasportation with a trunk so I could not get one. |

Yup its turbo and it is the one that says tt, I just think he misunderstands when it says" twin entry turbo", to someone who does know it seems like a twin turbo. But ya its bone stock accept for the shifter and new paint job. Ill take a real good look over everything. |

I like the color. The leather seats seem exactly like my Celica's.

I'm gonna get an MR2 too
. I'm working for it right now and the celica is probably going to my sister. I thought I was going to definitely get a 240sx s13/s14, but then i thought to myself why not an mr2; It's fast, rwd, and it looks good.

Does the the mr2 use the front as cargo space, since the engine is in the back? |

not technically, the front is supposed to be used as just a spare tire storage, although you could toss carpeting over it and fit some real small things in there, theyd probably get tossed around real good though. but in the MK1s and MK2s they had a seperate trunk in the rear.

Well I just got back from looking at it, 9 hour trip in all. First thing is first, the car is mint! or was mint when I got there, I bought it for 11, 000CND.
So this is what happened, he pops all the hoods to show me everything, we look at the engine and in the trunk which i must say was bigger then I thought. Then we look at the inside, everything is really nice and then we talk a bit and hes like so wanna go for a cruise and Im like "sure!". So we are cruising and everyhting is great and then SLAMMMM, the ****in hood whipped up and cracked the windshield!!! We forgot to look in the front trunk and therefore it was never closed!! So we pull over and check out the damage, and its all cosmetic so I said I was still interested he would just need to fix it, so he is going to call toyota tomorrow and get it fixed good. I was sad to see a mint car get beat up but the thing runs great so its all good.

Even the n/a version is fun man, but in the U.S. a turbo is like the same price as a 6th gen from what I saw on autotrader.com.
But ya Im not sure If Im going to mod up this car at all, I guess Ill see what happens.

if you dont "modify it" id suggest upgrading to the 93 spec suspension, its alot easier to control daily driving.

good idea, and maybe some 93 wheels too":) but i like the taillights on the 91 better then the 94+, I think if anything ill just build up the engine a bit, i want a trd shifter too, but thats about it, i think it will look nicer without a kit |

Well I get my baby on tuesday":))) I was just talking to the current owner and he said that he was really clear with the guy that everything has to look stok and perfect, and he has had the car painted by him a while back and he says the guy is really good. Besides the car isnt mine till I hand the cheque over, so if I dont like what I see then Ill hit the trail, but I dont think that will be the case.
Hey can someone look in my profile and tell me if there is pics of it in there since i cant look at profiles":P |

You had photos of it on there, but I removed them because only sixth generation Celica photos are allowed. Next time you're on AIM and I'm online, IM me, and we can get the profiles thing figured out.

i like the 94+ taillights a little more IMO, but i dont think its worth 250+ to switch to them, not right away atleast.
