To Buy Or Not To Buy ? Help Please

January 10, 2005

Hi all,

i'm looking at my mates MR2 with a view to buying. its H reg Dark Met blue, T-bar UK car with double Din sterio and A/C - i have checked and it is uk car.

the problem is he cant drive and one day in the wet.................

the ***** hung out he ***** himself and crunched the front passanger side corner,

both lights work, the front wing is bent, possibly needs replacing and the nose cone is not to bad but could do with replacing.

the other thing is apart from the above its in need of some TLC.

so guys how much do you reckon its' worth.

I'll start with £650 ( Sugestions please )

those parts are expensive :eek:

It would be less hassle just to buy another one.

So you think it would be less hassle just to look at another one?

Rev2 UK T-bar with A/C, does it have pop out mirrors and leather seats?

wings and nose arent going to be cheap from MR-T thats for sure.

You could try your local scrappy thats the way I would do it.

not sure about the pop out mirrors but yes it has leather.

i thourght the A/C and double din sterio was a tad odd for a uk car

but still what do you reckon its worth.

Uk cars came with double din stereo and air con was an option.

I would say £650 is a fair price as "GOOD" ones tend to go for about £1200-£1500 this time of year.

You may be able to get those bits from someone who has just fitted full bodykit.

Failing that try these breakers:-

Toyota MR2 Breakers In The UK

1, Marleys = 01372 729921

2, Fenland Breakers = 01354 651941

3, Nippon = 01332 272292

4, MR2 Solutions = 0870 4431244

Best check out how much said parts are gonna cost before you buy the car.

If they are not gonna cost the earth you could end up with a cheap 2, oh and before you buy satisfy yourself nothing else is wrong because things like clutch, cam belt and things cost a small fortune to replace.
