Well whatever it is, its going to need new parts here and there to make it run smooth and confident (Peace of mind that you are not going to get stuck on the side of the road).

In most cases, you are going to pay high dollar for an MR2 and then you have to provide immediate maintenance. Thats just how it works bro. So if you plan on buying and selling, dont do it... cause you will lose. But, if you plan on keeping it forever and you love the car soo much that you'll sleep in it... then go ahead and get it, cause the car when treated right will love ya back kid.

If the owner is asking top dollar or $100 bucks off of top dollar, then make sure it has all the options you are looking for to at least justify the sale a bit.

The most important are the following things. BEFORE you buy, you need to take it to toyota for a full inspection and pull a carfax report of it. Whatever the cost these two things add up, you must split with the owner. This will keep things honest if he agrees and you will feel better about the sale if you go through with it.

The last thing is, ask around about prices in the area to give you an idea of todays market.

Good luck.

PEACE-
