Toyota MR2 Supercharged (1989)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

Whether as a daily driver or a weekend fun car, this MR2 can do it all. This is an extremely rare (only 2000 imported in 1988/1989) 1989 Toyota MR2 MKI with the supercharged 4AGZE engine. It is fully loaded from 1989 with a T-top, leather seats, A/C, CD player with Bluetooth, (2) 8 Punch SubWoofers with Profile 250W amp, Kenwood equalizer, cruise control, drilled/slotted rotors, 15 alloy wheels, Synthetic Sheepskin seat covers (they are jet black even though the pics don't show them very well) and more.
1989 is last year imported for the MKI MR2 so this is the most refined version, especially the SC version with all the bells and whistles. I have owned the car for over 10 years and with two small kids I just have no time to drive it anymore and need to make the space for other, more responsible items.
No current issues prevent you from taking it day 1 and driving it around. If you want to turn it into a show car, I would take the time to review the pics and see the condition. It does have nicks/scratches and some paint fading that you should address, however, none of this prevents it from being driven or looking good on the freeway. The biggest downer is the crack in the passenger side dash. Again, just cosmetic damage, not performance related.
Also comes with lots of extras:
Big Green Book (Service manual specifically for this vehicle from Toyota) along with a Haynes manual for 1985-1989 MR2sOriginal Cassette Stereo and bass radiator speaker (can remove the current deck and play and play for the original)Car cover- Lightweight fitted nylon cover that can store in the trunk and only take seconds to put on and take offOriginal T-top storage bags2 containers of supercharger oil directly from ToyotaExtra engine air inlet cover (installed one has crack, extra one is clean but is black instead of red)Original short shifter (installed one has long shifter, I find the longer one is easier for shifting in traffic)It passed California smog in September 2014 and has a new catalytic converter from about 2 years ago. I have also changed the clutch slave cylinder but other than that, just regular maintenance is all it needs to stay tip top. Tires have about 9, 000 miles on them and brakes/spark plugs/cap/rotor all have about 10, 000 on them. Oil changed less than 1, 000 miles ago (I only synthetic with high end filters).
Reserved price is inexpensive compared to other supercharged MR2's that have recently showed up on eBay and other sellers.
