1993 Toyota MR2 SW20 Turbo 5-speed 39K Miles Original Unmolested Exc. Condition
1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo
1993 MR2 SW20 Turbo 5-speed T-Bar 39K Miles Excellent Condition!
After a lot of deliberation, I'm selling my 1993 MR2 Turbo. I bought this car in April of 2016 out of Nevada but just haven't had the chance to use it as I thought I would. Other hobbies seem to occupy my time so I'm going to let the car go to someone who will hopefully give it the attention it deserves.
Car is completely bone stock and unmolested. Runs and drives just like it did in 1993. Car starts and runs perfectly with no known mechanical issues. Full meticulous service performed less than 1,000 miles ago including timing belt, water pump, thermostat, clutch, hoses, plus many gaskets and seals at a cost of over $2,000. Receipt for work will be included. Brakes work perfect. Steers straight with no vibrations. Recent new battery. Mobil One synthetic oil. Car is in tip top shape and ready to drive anywhere.
Exterior of car shows very well for a 25+ year old car. Up close paint shows minor fading as you would expect from a car this age. One scratch on edge of hood as seen in the photos. Other than that just a few rock chips from normal driving. I have color matched touch up paint that I will include if you want to touch up. There is one very small door ding on the right rear quarter panel I imagine from leaning into the engine bay servicing the car. Less than the size of a dime. I tried to capture in the photos but difficult to get it to show up. You likely wouldn't notice but trying to be very honest about the condition of the car. Could easily be removed with PDR. Rest of the body looks laser straight and as you can see from the photos looks great! Original wheels are in nice shape with no curb rash. Yokohama tires with nearly new tread. All lights work including pop up headlights.
Interior is very clean. Dash is in great condition. Seats show virtually zero wear. Carpet looks brand new. Even the original floor mats hardly show any wear. Radio works fine and the antenna extends and retracts as it should. Speakers sound good including the optional subs behind both seats. All buttons, lights, and switches work as they should. Power windows, mirrors, and locks work as new. Never smoked in and no funny odors. May be one of the nicest SW20 interiors in existence. I can't say enough how nice it is. Pictures don't do it justice.
The front trunk, or "frunkâ€, is clean and tidy. Original spare is in place and doesn't look as if it's ever been on the ground. The trunk in the rear looks brand new. Doesn't look like it has ever even had anything in it. Engine compartment shows very clean and tidy for a 25 year-old car. No modifications and unmolested. Inserts for T-tops are present and clean. Storage bags for when the T-tops are removed are in the car. Original owner's manual is in the glove box. Overall in amazing condition.
The only thing I know on the whole car that is not OEM is the previous owner installed a Clifford car alarm. I have never used it and don't know anything about it but the key fob is on the key ring. I do have the owners guide and will include. Could easily be removed or you may want to keep it for security reasons.
There are only a couple things I have not gotten around to. One is converting the AC to 134a. My local mechanic said he would swap it over for me but I just haven't had time to drop it off. AC still blows cool but I think it could be a bit cooler if serviced. Second is the tach and speedo seem to read a bit low. This is a well documented phenomenon that happens to all SW20's sooner or later. The capacitors in the cluster start to age. You can Google it for more info. I made this repair on other MR2's I have owned but just haven't done it on this car yet. Any flaws mentioned are just being super critical of a really nice car. A lot of maintenance and care has gone into keeping this car in original condition.
Car is an absolute blast to drive. Handles like it's on rails. Turbo spools up quickly and it really moves. Hard to drive it without a big grin on your face! Exterior shows very minor wear consistent with its age as outlined above. Interior and other compartments look practically new. A true time capsule. It's getting harder and harder to find a stock unmolested SW20 MR2, especially with low miles. They just don't come around very often.
Deposit due within 24 hours of winning bid via Papal. Remaining balance to be paid in cash or cashiers check within 7 days of close of auction. I'd be happy to pick you up at the Knoxville airport or make the car available for shipping. Please see my feedback and bid with confidence. I try to be very honest and transparent on anything I sell. Car is listed other places so I reserve the right to end any time if it sells. Sure I'm forgetting some things so feel free to contact me with any questions and I'll do my best to answer.
Thanks for taking the time to view my auction!
