As I mentioned before, I was going to buy an ‘88 MR2. Unfortunately, that fell through. The seller (after shattering one of the T-Tops while showing me the car) decided to flush the radiator. Unfortunately, he airlocked it, overheated the engine, and blew a head gasket. So no MR2 for me.
Next, I found an ‘86 in red. It wasn’t the year or color, but was only $1600. I scheduled a time to go see it (in Spanaway, gag); two days after the listing went up. When I called that day, they had already sold it.
Last night, I found a black ‘89 with a moonroof, and (just) less than 100k miles for $3200. I took a look at it today, and it was in very nice shape. No major damage, interior in very good condition, and it drove great. After parting with $2750, it’s all mine. Thus ends (…begins?) my MR2 adventure. Pictures below the cut.
