grumpyracingaus@hotmail.com Hi gang
well its time to sell my daily driver.
I've only had this car just short of 2 years. Its been fantastic, but now i need something to better suit my lifestyle and despite how fast and fun this thing is to drive I need something a little different.
Anyway specs below
1992.5 SW20 MR2 Targa Top
(its 1992.5 because it was actually built in '93 but has the '92 spec engine and appears to have the '93 spec suspension and such and body)
JDM Import 3sgte
has done 179,870kms today
Standard engine
K&N high flow standard replacement air filter
GFB deceptor PRO Blow off valve (was put in when I bought the car)
Excedy cushion button clutch (really good was only put in when I purchased the car)
Always serviced using nulon oil and K&N oil filters
Rest of drive line is standard.
Aftermarket exhaust of some kind that was on the car when I bought it.
17inch wheels look really nice and fit snugly in the guards.
New tyres only 2 months ago. so really good tread.
Its red has aftermarket rear lights on it. not sure of brand but they look kinda cool.
Has a JVC stereo installed before I got the car. was done really well actually, the amp is under the passenger seat, a 10 inch sub in box behind passenger seat and the from standard splits were removed and new ones installed. no chopping on speaker mounts or any thing.
Interior is good. except leather parts to seats are showing their age, drivers side has rips on the edge from normal wear and tear.
carpet is good. comes with original MR2 floor mats, which I leave out of the car and I ave cheapies so I don't stuff the originals.
Space saver spare wheel
Front is the Gen 3 style with the lower lip.
Drives fantastic, spools up quick easy to drive. clutch is a bit heavy obviously, gets 450kms to a tank always run on shell V Power.
Ok all thats good but there are bad points unfortunately.
the rear has had someone hit it. It's just damage to the paint on the rear bar and has bent the frame that the center piece between the lights mounts too. appears to have no structural damage at all.
Bottom section of front lip has paint falling off, it was like this when I got the car, but its slowly getting worse, only the lip and not the actually front bar.
center handbrake cable has snapped. But I have one on the way from overseas to fix this and then the handbrake will work fine again
Electrics in the drivers do are working on and off. I know its from a broken wire in the door because I have had to fix this before and I think that my soldering wasn't that great and has broken. I didn't have much wire to work with when I fixed it the first time as the person who had it before me fixed but just used those crimp on wire joiner things that are pure evil!
Now I'm selling the car as is, except if I have the car when the handbrake cable arrives I'll fix that, and if I have enough time I'll fix the door thing too. but the panel work I honestly don't want to fix. mainly because I want to sell the car and the money I spend on that I won't get back.
Plus side to this is that with the car you get the following as a bonus.
I have a brand new boarder copy front bar that I never got around to installing. that will come with the car.
Also I have a pair of the gen 3 tail lights and center panel for the car also. You get them too!
Both of those parts on there own are worth a good $500 to $600.
So now onto the price.
Obviously I don't expect top dollar due to problems. but I know that with a little money and effort put in that this car will be worth a lot more.
So my price if all was well would be $10500 Ono
But due to the issues i am will to go $8000 Ono!
if you spend that $2500 on this car you could easily get $11000 or $12000 due to it being generally untouched from its JDM state.
So people get in quick as this is advertised elsewhere too.
PM or e-mail
