Hi Guys and Girls New to the forum and I am on the hunt for a new weekend toy (mr2 turbo hehehe).
 
Would like to get a early 1990 one (just because older and possibly cheaper) and would like a yellow or blue one...
Can anyone clarify roughly what I should be paying for a stock one or minimal mods in either colour and saying 1990 model and what my chances of finding in colour in wa??
 
Thanks in advance and I look forward to any replys :)

Your lucky, seems like there are a few options for you. When I was looking there was nill and zero available..
 
Yellow: http://www.gumtree.com.au...e-turbo-jdm/1006733873
 
Blue: http://www.gumtree.com.au...coupe-turbo/1006540751
 
Black: http://www.gumtree.com.au...h-loved-car/1005375635
 
 
Red: http://www.gumtree.com.au...e-jdm-turbo/1006850114
 
there is also a silver one on carpoint for $17990....

As for how much you should be paying...(to me) that is like asking how long is a piece of string....there is no one right/true answer.
 
Anywhere between $5000 - $9500 seems to be the norm. Expect to the odd one below that may need some work.

Cheers yeah that yellow one looks good (although high km's) and stock too, is that a good price or you reckon its dear??
 
I am new to mr2's and dont wanna pay over the odds lol
Blue looks ok but I really prefer stock with std spoilers etc

Just_ace on here I am pretty sure has a factory spoiler in white he will sell (if he still has it).

AFAIK that car was orignally yellow and has a preofessional respray to the blue.Has some nice goodies installed on it too if I remember right (big brake kit, aftermarket ecu, decent exhaust)
 
My turbo has 20,000 less km then on yellow one and seems to be alright mechanically (apart from some worn bushes and joints). If well maintained you should be good.
 
Would advise getting some sort of pre-purchase check on it before hand though I think WTF Auto (http://www.wtfauto.com.au)  offers that for a small fee.
 
 

I have just emailed the yellow one and wtf auto have done loads of servicing on it tristan appaerantly says its a good one and cant believe its stock...
 
Abs light keeps coming on and going off seller says...
 
Yeah not keen on resprayed cars I reckon/hope that the yellow one would come good with pro polish...

Hey, check out my MR2, the last one on that gumtree list of chase_d, the body nice and straight, however the paint is fair at best, had that thing for 7 yrs, been on this forum for 7 yrs aswell, bought parts off nearly everyone back in the day from here, if your interested give us call and make me an offer, always open to fair prices, LOL

Hiya yeah not so sure if I wanna a converted one.. Ie not factory turbo, Looks very tidy though :)

2 seater guy's mr2 has also had the WTFauto treatment.
 
chassis wise there is nothing different from turbo-NA of their respective revisions.

Just as Just_ace said, nothing wrong with a conversion, been running that car almost everyday for over half a decade since i converted the engine and hasnt skipped a beat!
