The low km's and the bodywork are swaying me to this one :-)

The sticker on the timing belt cover is standard. Have the same one on my old MR2.

A cheep flight over to cheek it out could save a lot of trouble in the future or confirm its good.

One of the recent threads had a guy looking for an SW20 in WA. There is surprisingly little around, so I'm not surprised you're considering interstate.

At the very least pay for a mechanic's inspection. If the seller is confident in the condition they'll be happy to have it done, and you get some insurance against a real dodgy car. I've bought interstate several times, but they've been from forums where you can look at the history of the car and the owner, and I've always done the deal in person.

Handing over your money based on an ebay ad only is crazy IMO.

That one does look good, but is a conversion.
Appears to have a fair bit of wiring running over the intake which isnt present on stock Gen3s....then again, could be for anything.
 
To the OP, I have heard only good things about these people. www.vipinspections.com.
 
Best of luck with your search.

I can't see a year model. From sellers 'sellers' feedback he has sold a few cars, so form your own opinion about history of car. 
'Breathtaking' could also translate to 'terrible exhaust leak into cabin and you can't breathe' and "[font="arial; font-size: large; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-center"]still personally regarded as the best condition unmolested MR2 i have yet to come across" 
 
Well, what he wants to do in his personal time is his own business. Does mention that the paint has a 'Super glossy paint finish..."
 
 
If you'd be game to buy a car sight unseen without asking an independent mech or a nearby forum member to even have a squizz, well bravo to your, um, trust in humanity!
 
May it work out well for you.
