Click the paper clip thing (hover your mouse over it first, it should say attach).

Default Mr2

My Dad has an 89 Supercharged for sale with 89k miles (I think).
The only problem the car is in PR, he shipped it from New Jersey and has been sitting at his house ever since. That thing is really fast!

I think I saw a few scratches on the driver side door, but other than that, it's a pretty good looking car. I didn't see any rust!!!! The interior needs a little upholstery work, but other than that, Nice find!!!

That color is pretty rare for any mr2 gens. The exterior is also in great condition for a car that old. You'll like your mr2. Great handling cars and fun to drive.
