10 things to know before buying an SW-20 MR2

This article comes from US mag Road & Track.
These mid-engine sports cars might be one of the best used car deals available!
If you're in the market for a mid-engine sports car, buying new is pretty pricey. Even the latest Porsche Cayman starts north of $50,000. On the used market, though, you have quite a few affordable options.One that's become more popular recently is the SW20-generation Toyota MR2. Built back in a time when Toyota sold multiple sporty cars, the U.S. had its choice between a 130-horsepower naturally aspirated version and the 200-horsepower MR2 Turbo. 
But while you can easily pick one up here in the States for $5000 or so, it's important to find the right version and make sure you avoid common problems. Conveniently, our friends at Car Throttle recently posted a quick breakdown of what you need to know before buying an SW20 MR2.http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/buying-maintenance/videos/a30807/toyota-mr2-sw20-buyers-guide/?mag=rdt&list=nl_rdt_news&src=nl&date=091616

    But what an annoying video!?! Think the voiceover guy with must have read a few reviews and forums to come up with a few stereotypes and read them out as fast as he could.
