This hit hard. 

These things are starting to get hot so that price is not out of line. I sold a 178,000 mile 2000 MR2 in January for $3900 with an engine that eats a quart of oil every 1000 miles and had a top worse than that, so this price does sound right, especially if it doesn’t burn oil like almost all 00-02 MR2 do.

I’m torn. On one hand, this generation MR2 is highly underrated, and $4300 is a very tempting asking price. Having said that, I’d prefer to spend a few thousand more to get an unmolested 2003 or 2004 with leather and 17" wheels.

It may not be the most highly regarded of the MR lineage, but what was one derided as the “poor man’s Boxster” is now trading around contemporary Boxster prices. I would have no qualms paying $4300 for a Boxster with similar condition issues and miles, so that probably makes it a fair price for the market.

When the first-gen Mister Two rolled off the transporter at our dealership in the 80s, I promptly signed one out for DMV errands. It was a hoot. At 5'10" and 145 pounds of rawhide chew toy teenager, it fit me like a glove.

I mean, I’m a miata owner of a similar vintage, and I can’t find a reason to say no to this.

A supercharged 2zz will fit easily.

Hey guys, other side of the pond perspective here: there is more to politics and economics than being a “capitalist” or a “communist”. Neither is an insult and there’s a continuous spectrum between these.

Why the fuck not?

I own three Porsches and I like their cars. I don’t really fault anyone for wanting to buy one, or doing so.

I do find fault in the Bootstraps argument, which is 100 percent bullshit.

“Artificially” raising the cost of labor by collectively bargaining?

From previous discussions, if they are able to sell the car at a lower cost than otherwise and still eek out a quarterly profit, that shows exactly how the regulatory credit trading is supposed to work. Basically they subsidize the cleaner/more efficient vehicles with money from the dirtier/less efficient ones so that…

Considering the constant evolution of tech (battery + “traditional”), and decreasing costs that go with it plus how tech-heavy their cars are, I’m willing to bet that it pays off long-term. There are more Teslas in my neighborhood than any other single brand, except possibly Toyota if you sum up the Tacos and Tundras.

“If you could simply stop being poor, and also stop complaining, I would really appreciate it. I would hate to escalate the situation.” 

Found the capitalist.

Yeah, he just needs to pull those bootstraps just a little bit harder!

Yea, it is going after the Passport, Blazer, Edge and whatever Nissan/Hyundai/Kia have in the Mid-size 2 row CUV segment. Which I think is a dumb segment, but oh well.

The only thing wrong with the Venza was it was about 10 years too early and never got the refresh it needed when SUVs really started to take off.

I’ve never been a fan of Toyota styling, and this is just a crossover, but dang... it’s a good looking vehicle. Never thought I’d say that about a Toyota. This one is smooth, cohesive, and reasonably well proportioned. Everything a Lexus is not. Even the interior is very nice.

None of the LEDs are dead.
