Equipment
1587/122hp, 5-speed, alloy wheels, Cooper tires, T-tops, factory cassette, mud flaps.
Condition
Showing 19,295 believable miles, although there’s a mileage inconsistency on the CARFAX. Reportedly owned new by a Toyota executive. There are some chips on the nose but the rest of the paint finish looks great for its age. T-tops are clean and fit tightly with new-looking rubber. Most of the exterior trim looks good other than a crack in the plastic trim on the rear and lightly faded window frames. Clean, like new interior. Considering the state of most early MR2s, this one is a cream puff.
Market commentary
It wasn’t just muscle cars and resto-modded trucks bringing the big money in Scottsdale. This doorstop-shaped Toyota may be little but its stock condition and remarkably low miles made a big impression. We’ve only seen one first gen (W10) MR2 sell for more, and that car only brought slightly more at $53,550. Light and balanced with adequate supercharged horsepower Mister Two is ideal for carving up twisty roads.
