I have to agree with the folks above that said the price is right. If I could find one locally for about that amount, with that many miles, and as clean as this one appears, I'd be at the bank right now. A little early holiday gift, even if it is the wrong color.

Read the concerns above, all legit and good advice, particularly the fact it isn't registered. Also, if it has the original alternator and its been stored outside it could need a new one. The hood vents let water run down in them causing corrosion and quite a racket when it runs. A lot of folks mistake it for a problem with the engine itself.

If you love the way the '86 drives, you will love this MR2 more.

(Oh, and bummer it doesn't have the whale tail, I'd have to find one for it!)
