Cosmetic Condition and Considerations
While mechanically sound, the MR2 Spyder has some cosmetic issues: rough paint with previous touch-ups, wear on the convertible top’s rear window and driver’s side trim, and a slightly offset A/C recirculate knob (functionality unaffected). The previous owner was a smoker, and while the smell has been significantly reduced through cleaning, it may still be faintly present, particularly in the seats.
Sale Details and Included Spares
The sale includes various spare parts: OEM brake lines, OEM side mirrors, spare clips and retainers, and other miscellaneous items. Payment is accepted in cash or cashier’s check (verified at your bank). The price is negotiable.
