Seriously guys, I cannot decide. I only plan on throwing down around $3.5k on one of these and because the SC300 falls within my price range here in California, has given me another option to look at. I wanted another (eventually) project car that must remain as a daily driver until my conversion is complete next year before I can really touch it. So I just wanted to see what your thoughts are. I honestly am getting anxious to just grab another car, although no real MR2's are coming my way.
N/A's are going as low as $1300 up to $2600, MR2 Turbos have too much stuff on them that folks are selling and going for $6k and higher. I know there has to be some available in between, so this poll is basically asking if I should wait. Or if I should just go ahead and grab a SC300. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

the mr2 is godly unpractical, engine in the middle takes up all the room. By the time you find one in your price range they would be in pretty bad shape.
I would rather settle with a lower mileage Lexus and touch a similar prices mr2. If your looking for a fun car to drive, why not get a miata? The old ones are dirt cheap and still have great weight balance along with some rwd action. |

The old ones are dirt cheap and still have great weight balance along with some rwd action. Because I won't touch anything that is not a Toyota. 80-90% of my daily attire consists of something Toyota related. We all tend to eventually stick to a brand. Don't get me wrong, I like the Datsun 240z (although I hate nissan engines, very unreliable to me in my opinion), the Miata is a chick car (Way too damn small, I know good to drive, but optional chick car who couldn't get a corvette in my opinion), RX7 FD is still a dream car of mine, however upgrading a Rotary is risky business. That thing warps and you basically have to throw it away and get another one. Subaru RS was something I was considering, maybe converting, but I don't want to. I have enough on my plate with this Celica. I will only touch another celica if it is a GT-Four, and I wouldn't mind that AE86 Corolla, but I want the Levin hatch style... Not going to find one. So I am down to these two options. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
