Ive been thinking about selling my MR2.. 
 
It has an engine in it with 52000kms and A quaiffe LSD/rebuilt gbox. New BC gold coilovers and all the goodies NA lovers would want like the toms airbox, 4-1 header and fujitsubo exhaust.
 
What would be a fair asking price for said MR2?
 
I know i'd never get all my money back but would $9000 be too much to ask? I guess the best option would be to keep it :P

I understand how you feel mate. I have been tempted to sell mine so many times due to problems created by others. It turns out, the first machinist failed in every aspect of the job he was paid to do. Fortunately, I have found one of the best around and Im almost there. Also had issues with the gearbox being rebuild three times and it still leaks!
Still, Im pushing through with the end now insight. Hopefully you can do the same.
If I had that engine expire, I would throw it out, buy a camry half cut with a 3.5ltr VVT manual, and fit that instead. Word is, its an excellent package, sounds brilliant with the right exhaust, very quick and very reliable.
You could sell the box and engine bits to buy the half cut. If this 3SGTE of mine fails one more time, expect to see this package in mine next time round.
Best of luck

The Silvia's are an excellent package in every way. Very quick too. In some ways I was keen to follow the same path but I had a R33 for a while, then played with the ST162 so figure the next path was the MR2. Its a great car in every way, but the support is harder than most cars which is a killer. Still, it doesnt matter what make of car you have, they all need a good machinist and a quality gearbox builder to eliminate all the major problems with any rebuild.
 Guess you better bring the 180 to the trackday challenge.
 
 
 

From what I've read through this thread is that you've had no real issues with the car, just endless issues with ****ers doing work on it for you.
If you wanted a proper job done on your motor, I would have talked to Scope or Precise Grak on these forums, both a local QLD members and run workshops.

can't go wrong for the 3.5k he's asking.

before buying a BMW 135i look into the class action lawsuit filed against BMW for the N54 engines:

So I sold my 180sx and am now jumping back into the MR2 until the 86GTS arrives. There are a few small differences now with my mr2. It no longer has the fancy 4-1 headers or the toms intake or the fujitsubo exhaust. What it does have is a single out apexi exhaust. Sounds ok. 
 
Will be a fun car to drive around till the new car arrives in the next 6 months or so. Might go to some club events too :)

Yess, fly the NA SW20s for QLD 2014 MR2 Track day lolol
