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?

AW11, is probably one of the most funnest cars to drive. Its like a go-kart, easily drifts and is actually pretty fast.

I keep hearing that about it. I think it is really ugly, but can look nice at certain angles too. I have to see how much I have in October, might go with either one at this point. What may have to be done to my 5sfe engine just to keep my car running strong will have an effect on this too.
