Is that a Miss price or has the old MR2 sky rocket'd in value??? Maybe if it was one of the last mint Low mileage Rev5's but a K Reg at £8k #-o #-o

Not much of a write up to justify the price tag either.

I think 8K is a tad too much.

I like the style of the advert though. Wheels desperately need changing in my oppinion -they do absolutely nowt for the car at all. Change the rev 6 rear clusters out for proper nice rear lights -like OEM (rev 2's) and a proper 3 piece spoiler put on. Needs a front boot liner and space saver also.

...very nice looking car though although the TRD key ring is worth about £4 and the TRD shoulder braces about £8 though.

We shouldn't knock the prices of MR2's but obviously very very over priced for the content of the ad.

as we've seen on those forums, its possible to make a car look good for a relatively low cost.. this car doesnt seem to have anything special about it (apart from the trd stickers) that's worth 8 grand.. lol

i totally agree!

perhaps the seller is hoping some people wont realise the true value of these cars and will simply look at it, think "wow it must be worth that" ?

i would be willing to pay 8k for any model MR2, but only if it was factory new and less than 20k miles on the clock.

The first vid on his description looks like he is stalking the car. The poor mr2 looks scared with him circling it slowly :lol:

Looks like a nice mr2 and I wish him the best of luck with his sale :thumleft:
