How much should I be paying for an aw11 mr2 with no serious rust

>>15933679
Depends on the country, and mileage

>>15933679
Depends on many factors

>>15933679
I'd say around 2-3k fur one like that pic, no idea what they go for but that's what it should be.

>>15933679
tfw finding one in Australia is impossible.

>>15933717
are you me

>>15933703
Let's say USA, up to 150k miles
>>15933711
The one in pic is the best I've seen, too many people are trying to sell this shit for 5k+
The mr2 market seems to suck, should I just get a fiero?

>>15933717
You could just import one you buy from Japan for 500 bucks + import fees

>>15933679
In Canada there is serious rice tax, so a perfect one in great condition fetches around 5k-8k and will always hit the upper bracket if its Supercharged.

One like the picture that's got the receipts, passes thorough inspection, and you like, $4k-$5k isn't totally unreasonable, but odds are that car needs ~$2k in work over the next two years to keep running, meaning it's a $2k-$3k car at best.

But of course

Expand your search, there are good ones for reasonable prices out there, and if you're handy trashed ones for dirt cheap. Be willing to spend a weekend traveling to get the car you want and it will be worth it.

I'd drive for half a day for this one if I was in the market, probably a safer bet than the one in the OP although it's probably sat and needs a full kit of rubber refreshing. Don't be fooled by shiny paint.

That one has a shit ton of miles on it...
My issue is that I don't have access to a trailer, and my current car is also manual, so finding someone to help me get the car is difficult. If I drive across the country to get the car, who brings back my other car? Only other option is an expensive plane ticket or spending 24+ hours on a bus. Which is why I've been looking in a ~250 mile radius so far.

Dude you want to buy a cheap 30 year old sports car, either pay extra for low miles or cheap out on one with high miles.

Flying out to save a thousand bucks on a ~$3k car is a huge gamble, but totally worth it if you're chasing a mint example of any car, for an AW11 that's in the $5k-$10k neighborhood.

250 mile radius seems reasonable to me as long as you have at least one major metro in that area, either stay patient or up your budget.

>>15933679
aw11s tend to be more expensive than latter generations.

>>15936584
Not true, SW20 is always more expensive than other gens, probably because the AW11 isn't as popular.

>>15936606
>tfw live in wealthy neighborhood in nc
>sw20s are 3k
>aw11s are 10k to 12k

>>15936540
I don't pretend to expect low miles on a 30 year old car, but there's so many options 100-150k that going above 200 seems silly when theres better mileage to be had

>>15933787
...really? 5 hundo?

>>15933679
64k USD is about what I'd pay. But if it had the special 4CELU engine I'd whore my mother for the extra cash. I'd sacrifice my children for a ass old toy. yep, I'm a real person.

Me too, love these old toyotas, they're all I can think about.

You can get a beat one for a $1600....

But they always have issues they never talk about. Wiring, secret rust, blown headgaskets, oil leaks out the head etc.

For a mint one? Expect to pay in the 4 - 7k range.

Honestly they're not worth it. That's MR2-S money, and they're superior cars. Girl cars, but superior in every way. Lighter, faster, more reliable.

I'm ok with repairs eventually but I'm a poor student right now so I'd like to find something that won't require a major repair for about a year, I can afford more when I graduate.
Should I just get a fiero?

>>15939692
feiros have the same issues with the people that drive them ill maintaining them if they sell at reasonable prices.

>>15939699
I'll probably just look for something in the 2-3k range and take it to a mechanic before I buy.
I expect lots of repairs eventually, I just want something that won't shit the bed right away so I have time to build up repair money.
Btw what're the main differences between fiero and mr2?

>>15938271
Yes really, they will not be expensive in Japan, browse some auctions and you see very nice are going for very cheap

>>15939727
Very nice cars*

>>15933780
>should I just get a fiero?
Yes

>>15939733
Why, they're just as old m8

>>15939727
Where to find these auctions? Only ones I see are always several thousand

>>15939774
I link ya one when I get home later

>>15939772
>>15939772
They're cheaper and can handle bigger engines

>>15939717
Feiro has bigger engine and better frame though wose wiring.

Wtf is this thread? AW11s are dirt cheap, like cheaper than miatas.
