Which One To Go For.

[qwertyuiop]

Hey guys, can you just take a quick look at these, and say which ones you would recommend, if any - and in what order you rate them - also any questions I should ask (just trying to make sure I don't miss anything). The pictures (links) are only small, so I'm only able to get a very vague idea from them.

#1

1994 TOYOTA MR2 GT T-Bar Sports 2dr 'G.LIMITED' Rare Model

57,000 miles, Racing Red. Black Leather. Air Conditioning. White Dials, Remote Central Locking/Alarm & Immobiliser (Insurance approved) New Cambelt, New Battery. This car looks superb. Mature lady owner last 4 years and maintained regardless of cost. Price includes12 months parts and labour Warranty. £4,499.

(This is through a trader - is a G-Limited)

What order would you rate these in and why - which ones should I look into further - #1 seems decent, also #3 but will have to gather more info on it.

What's the main differences between a G.Limited and GT?

Thanks, appreciated.

IMHO. Number 4 looks and sounds the business. Alarm/Immobiliser, well maintained etc. Make sure which ever one you choose has a decent service history, and have a drive of a few before you decide.

Bibbs is the man to give you the low down on the differences between GT and G-Limited.

Happy hunting

hi mate,

was just about to reply to your pm. i rate them as follows:

4, 1, 2, 3

4 because it comes with warranty, has low mileage and good spec

1 because it has a lot of add ons

2 because it is a little worse then the top 2

3 because from the pic looks like a rev2 (3 piece rear spoiler)

[Bibbs]

#3 - didgy with the old spoiler .. '95? I'd check the chassis number ..

Number 4 is the best of the bunch from here .. but being Jap there are always dealer/insurance issues .. sometime it's easier to just go UK ..

[Karma Supra]

!Removed! hell looking at those prices, £2500 for my rev 2 with a FSH seems like a bargain!!

a guy are reading last night .. UK blue rev2 with sunroof .. £750 .. :o

[qwertyuiop]

I've looked for a couple of months and anything below 4k seems to be either over 10 years old, or/and have a lot of mileage.

[qwertyuiop]

#3, I'd already noticed that before (rear spoiler), shouldn't have let that slip past me.

[Jesus]

I like the red one. ;)

[Rash@R.A.Motors]

I'd go No-1 or 2 as they are both uk cars but if push came to shove i'd go for 2 as it is an M reg (No1 is an L reg and their is nothing 'Limited' about it) and only 2 owners and if it has a Full History then at that price is a bargain for a REV-3.....!

Rash.

[qwertyuiop]

All ltd's are Japanese right? I'm right, I know I am.

Therefore, #1 is a GT rev3 (GTi-16, thanks Bibbs) - which is what I was originally after anyway.

About #2, I'm not too sure about getting a car with 99k - probably 100k on the clock, these things can't last forever, surely.

[Jimlad]

mileage doesn't matter as long as it's been well looked after mate !

[qwertyuiop]

A lot of people have said that, but surely you can't just go on and on until your clock reaches 999 999?

What's the highest anyones got, I know someone on here had 140 odd.

[Jimlad]

I've heard stories of 200,000 miles +

In theory you could get stupid mileage figures as long as you kept on top of maintanance and replaced anything needing replaced etc. etc.

[qwertyuiop]

Yeah, but that would be like Trigger off Only Fools and Horses:

"I've had this broom for over 20 years - it's had 27 new heads and 19 new handles."

[mr2mk1g]

My car has 155,555 on the clock! (actually went through 155,555.5 last weekend)

She has a FSH and looking back she's had less maintenance problems than my dad's company Merc's have had over the years.... and that Rover he had - that could beat my MR2 on it's own and he only had it 3 years!

Sure things have needed replacing here and there, but she runs sweet now. Starts first time, no odd sounds, no smoke, lovely sounding engine and a great body.

Literally the only things that could possibly give away the fact that she's done a few miles are the clock and the two cam belt changes.

When I was shopping for MR2's I found horrendous examples with 90k on the clock - mines lovely at 155,555.

Mileage on MR2's is far from everything. They're built to last.

[jdbecks]

how much deos it cost you roughly each service? thats to every one

[Karma Supra]

When I was shopping for MR2's I found horrendous examples with 90k on the clock - mines lovely at 155,555.

Mileage on MR2's is far from everything. They're built to last.

Ditto. my REv 2 mk2 is now on 146000. fsh, sweet as a nut, and ditto its more reliable then both my parents merc's. and the mercs are newer!!

I do need new front disks and pads, but they are consumable parts...

Only bit that shows hte age on mine is a slightly sagging drivers door (is there a fix for this??????) and the laquer beginning to do along the drivers window, apart from that its fine (see toc garage pics!) even the leather is good!

[mergli]

Heh, mine went through 182281 yesterday and looks/go's better than cars with 1/3 those miles. Obviously FSH helps to keep it all sweet (at every 6k they come round far too often though!)
