1991 turbo mr2

[TunedIS300]

soo i mite be picking up a 91 turbo mr2...i no nothing about toyotas or mr2s period. this guy is willing to trade me his mr2 for my 4runner and 1200 cash on top....the bad about the mr2 is that its been sittin...the car needs a thremstat...4 new tires and the mileage odo is not connected so its no longer reading how many miles the motor has....my 4 runner has about 56k on it no problems at all...what do u guys think bout this should i get more cash on top?

[3rdGenMr2Girl]

how many miles is estimated on the mr2?

[TunedIS300]

the dash says 130 he has no idea how much is on the motor the vacum lines and stuff look dry rotted but note that the cash he gives on top would go into the car im just worried as i can not test drive the car since all 4 tires are beat car does come wit gauges and a turbo timer..and 2 jdm seat i guess...and a fujitsubo muffler.. should i ask for more cash on top the body is decent i wish i would taken pictures

[3rdGenMr2Girl]

yeah. 91s don't have as good of a suspension as 93s so you'll probably want to upgrade that. if only god knows how many miles is on the motor, you should ask for more cash. trust me, you're going to put out way more than 1200 if the motor goes. or have a shop check out the car. you should do that before you buy it anyway.

i was gonna get it tuned up and i have no idea how much a tune up is gonna run me cuz i know the tires r gonna cost me a good wad of money..the car starts and everything body is good. has brand new tsw wheels wit dishhow much is a motor swap or a motore rebuild?

[3rdGenMr2Girl]

it depends on what motor you get, the mileage, and the amount of work you want/can do.

[TunedIS300]

ok i really want this mr2 if he gives me 2k on top or at least 1700 i can work wit that the cars been sitting for a while i take it

Some pictures or more information on your 4 runner would help determine if the trade is fair.

As for fixing the car. If you dont have alot of mechanical experience or friends that do that are willing to work for free.
I would stay away from any cars that have been sitting a while because the labor rates of garages will bleed you dry.

^ he speaks the truth. honestly, i bet you could find a better deal. go on mr2oc and see what's for sale on there. a lot of people will be open to trades, especially for a dd like you have. don't jump on that car just because it's there, really look around. it'll pay off.

mr2oc.com is where you will find answers.

mr2's 3s motors are interesting.

stock boost is 10psi.
you might want to start the car up, and let it idle up to temp to make sure its not overheating or making any funny noises.

if your the type of guy who is willing to get his hands dirty and learn a lot in the process, than this is a great project car. However if your going to be running to a shop for a "tune up" than this is probably not the car for you.

[DPancoast]

Where is the car located. I'd be more than happy to come take a look at it with you if you want.

Should def see you can start it up.

[grmreapr]

Hell Bring me to so I can just take it put it in my garage and start a new project
