YES DO IT! ONE OF US, ONE OF US
Well, I won't sell you mine, at least for what you're looking for, but if you search through local craigslists I'm sure you could find an MK2 within that range. You'll probably end up with an NA, but the vast majority are manuals so that should be fine.

All turbos were manual. You can get a 5sfe with a manual, but it IS the engine used in the Camry (aka RELIABLE, but slow).

went and checked it out yesterday. It's worth $1500 at most. Rusted quarter panels, missing gas cap, couple gauges don't work, steering shakes above 50mph, brakes and rotors need replaced, no records of any kind. Worst of all, the guy won't come down in price. Sadly noth worth it.

Good, you've kept your head. That's not easy when you fixate on one car you love.
Have you decided on which generation? The first one was number 7 on my 1 0 Best Cars of the 80's FP article. Not that there's anything wrong with the follow up, either, just a matter of style, really.

I know! I almost pulled the trigger on that one. I want an AW11 but realistically speaking I won't be able to find one in decent shape (since they're almost 30 years old at this point). I wouldn't mind a SW20 at all either though, especially if it looks like the picture above. And they're statistically more likely to show up in good condition, since they're much newer. The third gens though, are still pretty expensive, so I'd only get one of those if it fit my budget, which isn't likely to happen, at least not for a couple more years.

Hey, I could definitely stretch my budget if yours is worth it. Got a picture of it?

I can't

import any of them into Australia either :( That said, my black one was cheaper and in better condition than most of those. Good luck in your hunt.

Great choice! I've only seen a handful around here but if things work out maybe we'll have 2 MR2s at the next Wichita oppo meet! If you haven't already, you might want to sign up on MR2OC or MR2.com to see if any pop up for sale in the vicinity.

A few of us met at riverside park before but I think we plan on meeting up at car meets when the weather picks up. Jayhawk Jake is the one who organized the last one.
