Yeah what a freak, asking an above-average price for a car that has been carefully maintained for the last TWENTY YEARS. I mean sure there is probably not one other for sale like this but who does this guy think he is!! He should price it accordingly down inline with all the un-maintained and abused crap so that the internet armchair enthusiasts who have zero intention of buying the car will have less to complain about.

Oh for **** sake man, its a MR2 not a 4th gen supra or better. Ok, perhaps he could ask 9k for it, but 17k? reallly?

If it's as nice as he says (can't view CL from work)... I could see it.

After all , try to find another sub 100K mile MR2 Turbo. Those things are unicorns.
Not to mention really fun cars to drive

Yes, that is correct, it is an MR2. He can ask whatever he wants for it, and anyone that is serious about it can offer anything they think it's worth. Super simple. MKIV Supras are amazing, unless you are looking for a nice MR2.

Oh, that's what kills it? That is the last straw, the nail in the coffin for you, huh? If it weren't for those pesky miles?

<--- they don't have one for misunderstood-banana, so this will have to do. Maybe I can shop some hipster glasses on it.

Being that its an original 94 turbo with less then 100k and pretty clean condition I can see it going for $15k. MR2's are being very rare and 94-95's are just plain unicorn cars. You guys dont even want to see how much 94-95's go for on MR2oc if you think 17k is a lot. All those JDM and TRD parts are discontinued as well and super hard to find. I am a little biased though, I use to own a MR2 and want another lol.
