OK. So I found two MR2's I REALLY like. One is a non turbo and the other is a turbo, I'm undecided which of the two I would like to own.

The non turbo one has 66k miles and is all stock except for supra rims, the turbo one has 123k miles on it and is all stock with some horrendous rims on it.

Having 132k on the motor a bad thing? I wanted to get back into Toyota by having a 3SGTE 6th gen Celica but I've always had a place in my <3 for MR2s.

 

Most of the Turbo USDM mr2s have high milage...buy the turbo and some rims...but check for oil leaks,timing belt wear,water pump failure,low oil pressure,blow by,turbo end play,check that the turbo impellor spins freely,if the car has ever overheated it's hard on the pistons and rods.If you can get the n/a cheap enough you can swap in a turbo motor easy enough given it has a manual tranny but that generally costs from $4000 to $8000.

 

i think xat has a celica there willing to swap for a 3sgte

I love you.
