Anyone know what price range a SW20 MR2 goes for? Any recommendations for the AW11 vs the SW20 if you maybe suggest one over the other? I want a sexy daily driver that I can have for a later project (because even just a stock GT-Four in the future is good enough for me as far as a complete project goes, unless tempted to take it beyond that), and I want it to be a Toyota.

Why am I looking for another car?

Well here's the deal. Today I did a compression test today in class and discovered that my car has a dead cylinder. All the readings were an average of 190 with one cylinder giving me a reading of 25 and leaks. So on Tuesday, I am going to run a wet test to determine if it is the valves (which I am praying for) or the piston rings (which will make want to get another car so I can park my car and take my time on it without having to make repairs of daily driving for exterior damage and such as it is very expensive and I can rebuild the engine, this is my only car).

So what do you guys think?

Doesn't have to be turbo, it could be N/A too. What's wrong with that? It is just so I can take my time on my Celica and do things right on here. Once she becomes a Stock GT-Four, then I will decide if it is worth keeping up on her or moving onto the MR2 or something else. I like other cars, but I own so much Toyota stuff that I would hate to be caught driving anything else. Toyota makes up 80% of my wardrobe and you will never catch me without something "Toyota" on me. So yeah.
