AW11 MR2 in original, driver level condition

Price: - Item location: Walnut, California, United States
Description:

1985 Toyota MR2

Up for your consideration is a beautiful 1985 AW-11 Toyota MR2. It is an excellent driver level example finished in original light beige metallic. Paint is in good shape with light dings and small scratches commensurate with its 32 years. The car has been clearly cared for and meticulously maintained. I have service and repair records going back to 1992. Under my ownership, I have completed regular maintenance, installed spark plugs and timing belt, and replaced the clutch master cylinder. Interior is completely stock except for a Sony stereo system and CD player.
Understated modifications include 15" period correct Rota RB wheels (could not source Watanabes at a reasonable price) and Eibach lowering springs. Tires are Yokohama S-Drives. The car was aligned after lowering and does not show excess tire wear. Clutch feel is great. Handling is very tight and belies the car's age. Interior is in excellent shape! No tears in the seats or door trim. The rubber trim in the exterior is original and shows some fading, but crucially no cracking.
Gauges all work. No warning lights. Car will be smogged prior to sale for CA buyers.

I have driven her only 3,000 miles in 5 years. I am only selling because I don't drive her anymore and want her to go to an enthusiast to enjoy as much as I have. Few cars provide this level of involvement and feel for such a low price! I am that confident her next caretaker may even make money as prices for 80's Japanese classics are on the rise!
The stock triangle wheels and two car covers will go with the car. The only thing I am keeping is the Momo wheel. The stock steering wheel will be installed for the winning bidder.
Additional disclosures:
  • A/C is currently not working. I have not diagnosed and was advised that it could just need a recharge
  • The car drips one or two drops of oil when sitting for a week. This lessens considerably when being driven every day or every other day.
