I'm fairly sure this blue one popped up on ebay previously as well, but didn't take an interest so didn't notice the k's.

Looks like this seller has a thing for MR2's. Don't know about this one, but would proceed with caution.

Both cars share the same Vin - JT763SW2000003584
which corresponds with Vic roads reg check.

Original ad stated this:
RWC and registration are up to the prospective purchaser.
No warranty is implied or given (SOLD AS IS)
I don't know what exactly would be required to pass a roadworthy
Call Adrian on 0421969274 to make an appointment for inspections prior to bidding.

In the time I've owned it it has had the following done to it;

- Pedders sports suspension (receipts included)
- New rear cross member (receipts included)
- Air conditioning reconditioned (receipts included)
- New heavy duty sports clutch installed in mid '11 (receipts included)
- 2nd and 3rd gear syncros fixed in gearbox (receipts included)
- 260,000 GENUINE kilometres (yes, it is a daily that has done 40,000 in my five years of ownership)
- Original toolkit still in front trunk
- Original Manual
- TRD gear knob
- VDO Dayton head unit (black and not too showy!)

Here are some of the things that you will pick up upon visual inspection;

- Tear in the drivers seat bolster (which is covered with a seat covers to help with roadworthy)
- Bubble in the plastic trim over the transmission tunnel
- Driver's side door card in fair condition, dint where my elbow rests and plastic trim near door handle is cracked
- It has been keyed (quite deep needing two panels resprayed to rectify) on the driver's door and rear quarter panel
- Paint on bonnet and panels is in fair condition (would need a cut & polish to look immaculate)
- Dint on exterior passenger door near air vent (from a wheel barrow falling on it). Would need the panel beat out, bogged and resprayed to completely fix but honestly I haven't noticed it enough to fix during my five years of ownership.
- Targa Panels DO NOT LEAK!
- This model did not come with power steering

The body and interior is tired but the mechanicals are in fantastic condition, don't miss out on a great car!

MRTurbo

those wheels are horrid...

Too right, just those rims is enough to put me off. I could never understand why people ever thought they looked good.

Previous seller listed cheaper but pulled it before it ended. Maybe a tad pricey for the higher mileage, but there's not that many to choose from in Vic currently. As for AW's they're getting real thin on the ground here.

Just a heads up for the wary; this car was listed earlier in the month with 260,000 k's on it. Now a different seller is saying it's driven 160,000kms. Thought I'd post it up here just in case.

If anyone knows the car or previous/current seller, more than welcome to clear this up.
