Hi all,
Some of you may know my car, it is a very nice, black, JDM g-limited 1989/1990 SW20 MR2.
It is stock as a rock, there are some custom wheels on it (14's) that it came with, but other than that it is JDM stock.
It has done under 140k km and it is in very good condition. I paid just under $12k for it in December last year. Since then I have put 4 new tires on it. I have put a 3 point black wire immobilizer in it (to satisfy young and cool) and I have put a nice but not over the top stereo system in it (it came without head unit or speakers) and I have kept it very clean. It has just had a $700 service done on it and I have just re-registered it (so registration until July 2006). It runs VERY well.
Why am I selling it? Well, I am nearly 21 and still live at home but it isn't working out anymore (it never really did) so I have finally got off my butt and decided to move out. I am buying a unit and need a deposit. At first I thought I could do it with the car, but now I realize that I can't and every extra grand I have for the deposit will save me 10 times that down the track. Not only that but with petrol costs going up and the insurance expense ($168/month comprehensively insured under my name with young and cool) it is just not really viable whilst I am busting my gut and cutting down in other areas just to get enough money for this unit.
Now. I would consider a trade for the right stock / near stock corolla or celica (with cash adjustment) but I would also sell it outright. If this happened I would probably buy a 1.3l daihatsu charade or ford festiva. I know these cars are (comparatively) pathetic, but these are the conditions I am living under trying to scrounge together a ten percent deposit for a unit in Sydney.
I know this is a huge sacrifice and I know I will miss my car like nothing else  I still stop to admire the beautiful lines of it every time I get out of it or see it in a reflection. When I think about loosing it I feel really, really down but it looks like its the only way I can afford something more than a delapidated studio apartment in the nasty parts of the sydney.
I know I could probably get more for it if I put it in the paper or on car sales or something, but I would much rather it go to someone who will truly appreciate it. Anyone who has driven in one of these would attest – there is nothing like it. Providing someone can come up with a reasonable offer I would much rather see her go this way. If I don't get any interest here the MR2 clubs will be my next stop, failing that, the papers.
Any offers?
Thanks
