36k-Mile 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder 5-Speed

Description

The third-generation Toyota MR2 represented a significant shift from its predecessors by abandoning the coupe format entirely in favor of a lightweight, open‑top roadster design. Toyota intended the Spyder to be a fun, minimalist sports car, with a simple interior and limited cargo space to keep weight low. Curb weight was quoted at a hair under 2,200 pounds for US-specification models.

The MR2 Spyder offered a spirited alternative to contemporary roadsters like the Mazda Miata and Honda S2000 and featured lean proportions and sharp steering. It was powered by a mid-mounted naturally-aspirated 1.8‑liter four‑cylinder engine producing 138 horsepower, paired exclusively with a five‑speed manual transmission for the 2000 model year.

Showing less than 36,400 miles, this reportedly unmodified 2000 MR2 Spyder is finished in Liquid Silver Mica paint with a black convertible top and two-tone black/gray cloth upholstery. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, a AM/FM/CD/Cassette stereo, and power steering, windows, and door locks.

This low-mile, stock MR2 Spyder is now offered with a clean CARFAX history report, some service receipts, and a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name.
