Holy responses!
thanks guys, i appreciate the input.

I took the first 3 pics, the rest are from carsales, so favourable angles have been chosen.
car does *look* straight in the photos, but in person you can tell there have been a few dodgey or missing repairs. tbh, the car is pretty straight, but the rust is a big deal breaker for me. I can't tell how deep it goes or under what bodywork it reaches.

I have read all about MRTurbo's rust issue, so it was the first thing I looked for.
 
The only reason i looked at this car to start with was the low k's + cheap + dealer (for warranty).

but yer, I think I'll look a bit more, test drive a few more, and buy later. Wasn't even planning on looking till after i go and get back from overseas in August!

cheers guys, i'll keep looking.
If anyone wants to check it out (probably for spares?) -> (carsales)  
It's at Auto City Motors in Cheltenham, VIC
be quick, they upped the price by $44 since this morning! :P 

EDIT: only had a quick look at it, the rust really put me off, mechanically, it sounded to run fine, (didn't drive it, just idle and varying revs), smooth, no clicks, cold. Not really experienced enough yet in MR2's to get a good feel of the mechanics.
I was also worried about the quality of the suspension, assuming it had only done ~72000km in 20years, it probably would have been sitting in water rusting for a lot of that time!

Just bought myself a 1993 NA with just under 120,000km on it, one owner, full history by Toyota, brilliant paint (except for a few small knocks, and someone keyed it not long after it was originally bought :/ not TOO noticeable though), very clean, 11months rego, <$10k!
 
Just thought I'd update this thread to highlight that if you wait for the right car, you will probably find it.

Just gotta pick it up after RWC, etc, is done. I'll let you know how it goes in a thread. :)

~ Kays wound back for sure
~ Mouldy interior with what looks like holes in the carpet?

 
That carpet shows tell-tales signs this is a high mileage car, either that or the previous owner wore razor blades on his/her feet. What was the rego number on this one? it looks familiar to a car that's been up for sale for ages up that way for similar money.
