Vehicle Description
It's going to be hard to find a more desirable car from the new
class of imported classics than this 1988 Toyota MR2. Not only is
this a desirable supercharged version, but it's also coming off of
nearly a quarter-century of long-term care. That means investments
in the slick paint, loaded A/C interior, and even a recent engine
rebuild.
The first generation MR2 was something almost unexpected from
Toyota. It was a radical leap forward where they gave us something
that looked like it came from Europe (Lotus was rumored to be
heavily involved) in a reliable Japanese package. That's why we
know the demand is only going to grow as these continue to age into
full classic status. So we are really excited about this one. It's
a two-owner Florida car that has been with the last owner since
1997. Not only does that mean better care, but you can also tell it
has been given some terrific investments. All of this is best seen
in the paint. This was given a recent professional respray for an
excellent silver and black two-tone. And that red pinstripe
dividing it just looks awesome. Plus, when the body has been
treated with this level of care, it allows this glossy finish to
highlight the crisp lines of this coupe. The low-slung front end
with hidden headlights, full factory ground effects body kit, and
the big rear spoiler are all crisply defined to declare this a
sleek sports car.
The interior is loaded, fresh, and darkly stylish. So while the
odometer may reflect the car's full actual mileage, the exceptional
condition will make you swear Ronald Reagan is still in the White
House. This comes loaded with the best features, like cold-blowing
air conditioning, power windows, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo.
This is built to be a driver's car with well-bolstered high-back
bucket seats, a sports steering wheel on a tilt column, and a full
gauge package with large speed and tach. Plus, T-tops are the
perfect way to show the world the smile on your face as you enjoy
this driver's machine to the fullest.
Power comes from Toyota's fuel-injected 1.6-liter DOHC motor. It's
the ideal compact side to fit in this mid-engine layout. Toyota
also discovered that a supercharger could fit in there, too. That
really made this a lively powerhouse, and you are in complete
control thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. And part of
the exceptional care and maintenance on this MR2 includes a motor
rebuild in 2019. So it has a confident feeling out on the road. The
mid-engine layout gives it a terrific center of gravity, and the
razor-sharp handling will make you believe the Lotus connection.
The sport-tuned independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes
are all part of what makes this such a desirable driver's
machine.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual title
documentation, maintenance records, and nice extras, like storage
bags for the T-tops. This is the Japanese sports car that has the
style, care, and all-around fun you've been looking for. So you
know you can't let this MR2 slip away. Call today!!!
