Hey /o/, I'm buying my first car and my buddy wants to sell me his 1987 MR2 Supercharged. Only 120k miles.
Pic related.

What does /o/ think about MR2s?
>>
prepare for maintenance
lots of it
>>
Second worst engine setup to work on. Not a great first car. Buy a cheap sensible car and keep this for weekends and its not advisable to rely on an 87 supercharged motor that is prone to problems, and a fuck around to fix.

It's a mid-engined Corolla

The engine isn't even that stressed

Prepare for oversteer.
Lots of it.

/o/ approved, several anons own them, MR2 generals pop up often.

2nd. The Supercharged one is not known for reliability. He should get it if its a good deal, but also buy a Volvo 240 (89-93) to rely on.
>>
>>16181182
He brought that on himself, the 2nd comment explains it. Not to mention all of that in the wet.

What's the going rate for one of these in Ameritardland.
>>
>>16180530
What do you have to do?
>>
>>16180530
honestly it's a great fucking car and I'd buy it in an heartbeat if I could

MR2's are fantastic.

But honestly seeing as it is your first time don't buy it cause you'll literally fucking die especially seeing as it's a turbo.

Or alternatively take it around the track and learn everything about this car and how to control it. And then drive like a 90 year old person in a rover on the road.

>>16180530
It's my second realistic dream car (first one being an MR2 too, the SW20)
>>
>>16181241
>turbo
its supercharged, no turbolag to kick OP in the nut and snap oversteer him while he is on a wet ramp
>>
>>16182332
instead you have instant boost on throttle which could be just as bad tb.h
>>
>>16183872
Nope. Turbo's worse since it's harder to predict when it comes on boost so you can spin pretty easily. Supercharged is just linear power.
