1991 MR2 for trade?

Post by Tyler H »

Anybody interested in trading a 91 MR2 for something with rear seats, preferably 4 doors and manual transmission? I have to haul two kiddos around, and the MR2 isn't getting it done. Looking at BMW 325is, 535is, turbo Volvos, or anything else somewhat interesting that hauls kids.

Car has 222k, but is solid.
Longblock / transmission has 127k. I swapped the engine and transmission with a nice lower-mileage 93 engine set. Swapped original 91 intake/EFI onto 93+ longblock/transmission, so E-stock legal (with 14" rims.)
93+ 15" wheels
All-new braking system from master cyl, to rebuilt calipers, pads, etc
New parking brake cables, tune up parts, ball joints, etc.
Suspension and steering is tight.

Runs/drives great.

Problems:
Cracked paint on the drivers rear corner
AC clutch is out, whole AC system replaced in '08, but original engine punched a hole in the block right behind the compressor and drenched it in hot oil.
Leaks oil..about half a quart per 1k miles
Driver's seat is kinda ragged, but cleverly disguised with high-quality duct tape. The rest of the interior is nice.
