Here are my top reasons why I think the 2nd Gen Toyota MR2 is one of the best Japanese cars to buy right now.

These used to be underrated, but that was years ago. You can't find a clean one for a reasonable price anymore.

What i love about this car is when u pull up to idle the fans click on and it sounds awesome. Also when you hit 60mph the whole engine sound changes and it sounds like race car. Mine is beauty when was driving. Doubt it would start without work now...i notice you have the original double stereo cd , i had to buy mine seperate as it wasnt in it when i got it. Looks nice even as old as it is doesnt it and that big space without it is yuk..my daughter at 13 used to love standing on seat out roof as we drove in summer night along country roads, dont worry i never went fast..was just a bit of fun for her.

Oh how I miss my 1991 MR2 turbo 😢. I keep looking on auto trader in hopes that I will find it one day to buy back again! That is still my #1 car related mistake to sell it for a 2003 350Z when it first came out 😖. That being said I’m still enjoying my GR corolla circuit edition and have no plans of ever selling that because the goal is to pass it down to my son when he turns old enough and right now he’s only four years old 😂

so im in a rabbit hole on sw20s right now so here i am... i started off by looking at some v6 swaps with this car because. i have an odd fascination with the 1mz-fe from the camry; but the more i look into it, the more im just like "despite that i have this very engine, the amount of work required for this swap if i even had the sw20 chassis would be a fleeting dream" xD. That said. I would like to at least get a decommissioned one and build from there. A working one would likely be half my remaining house note so, cant do that xD. Edit: also, I would love a targa, just because i like the idea of having a semi convertible for summer days. they hold up to me

To be honest, I don't think that the value on most of these cars didn't just go up out of appreciation, but rather inflation is readjusting the prices, so it is the same.... Let's say you sold the MR2 for the price of a Supra back then... well, if you take that money to try and buy a supra.. it most likely won't happen because you will still be the same distance away from buying that supra...
