Toyota MR2 Mrk3

[hgriffiths1992]

Hi There,

I'm picking up my MR2 tomorrow and would like to know a few things i should look forward to about the car or what i should be wary of?

The car is a Red 56 plate 1.8l vvti with 39,000 miles on the clock.

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

Things to look forward to? Everything, they're fantastic cars. Enjoy!

As said apart from the main mechanical things, check the roof is in good order.


Then, enjoy!

Very under-rated sports car and terrific to drive for the price they are today, ok not much power 140 bhp is more than enough to have fun in these cars, they way the handle is superb, and a keen driver really enjoy the feel of the car.

Make sure it has good quality tyres (especially the rears) and keep tyre pressures correct, these cars need stiff sidewalls on the rear tyres so something like Bridgestones, Yokohama Dunlops etc. Also keep an eye on oil levels (monthly check).

In the cold/wet remember its a mid engine RWD car.

Honestly can not wait. Everything seems in perfect nick! The only minor thing is the Tred on the rears is down to 3mm but thats nothing major!

Looks just like my old one! My rears were on 3mm when I got it, took it on a track day and it came back with not much less than 3mm, so you are ok for a while.

Running costs etc on my profile. Yours is low mileage so probably nothing will go wrong for a while.
