Ahh ha, this was the first MR2 I was going to buy, I remember it even had wood grain inserts.
I ended up buying a red N/A in 2008 aswell that was a lot cheaper and in great condition, until 1 month later when all the paint faded because the dodgy polish wore off, and then I ended up paining my MR2 yellow anyway ha ha.
I actually did regret not buying your car from the previous owner, maybe thats why I sprayed mine yellow, which I am bored of and now going black
