This auction popped up on my Book of Faces feed and it is about an hour away from where I live. The MR2 looks very clean in the photos and I would guess has not seen winter road salt based on 72k miles in 30 years. I do not plan on putting eyes on these (only one time slot listed next Monday) but if someone was very very serious about one of them I could make time to do so.

MR2 Turbo w/ 72k miles could bring gonzo money.

No surprise this is climbing...but still...in theory it is a small local  auction, not BAT or Cars and Bids, so who knows smiley

Hush....all y'all. smiley That's my bid. Replica of my other one. I'm cornering the market of red t-top radwood cars.

Should I snipe you?  Haha!  I have no space for another vehicle but I've always loved those MR2 turbo's.  Buy it, do your magic and let me know when you're done with it...

All honestly it's a 16-18K car max. I know of a white one with less miles that I can buy today for 17K with the cloth interior and non-premium sound. I would rather have the red but not going to overpay. 

 

Doc, at this point we should just pool cars seeing how we keep trading them.

For sure.  Want a corrado?  lol

Are you going to do the modern motor swap on it like Prime MR2 used to do?  I was kinda bummed to see that they no longer swap the cars and sell them built anymore.  Really made that an easy button for purchase.

I thought the MR2 might go for a really good price...and then the real auction started :). A good deal for someone if they were in the market for one.
