Used Toyota MR2 for Sale near Chicago, IL

Epitomizes Eighties era imports. Most parts are kin to other Toyota's, keeping repair costs minimal, although chassis specific parts are becoming scarce (it is a 20+ year old model). Like most Toyota's, it is very simple to repair with basic hand-tools, that said, some service operations need to be adhered to verbatim; primarily service of the cooling system. General upkeep of the running gear is on par with imports of the era in both price and frequency. Fuel economy is also on par for a four cylinder coupe. Potential vehicles should be thoroughly inspected for rust, especially in the rear fender areas. Overall the appearance and layout of the interior and exterior is very utilitarian. Storage space is adequate in relation to the dimensions of the vehicle. Most accessory controls are within a fingers reach of the steering wheel. This car is not a power monster, however with its mid-engine layout and overall light weight, it is still a very enjoyable when taken on a spirited drive.

Solid handling car but the engine is definitely lacking power. 4AGZE is the next step plus some aftermarket suspension. Motor is reliable, trannys are strong. Overall great fun for the price, would recommend if you are looking for a fairly cheap sports car.

Wow! A ton of fun! My second of seven Toyotas. Another one I would have kept if it hadn't been totalled - shouldn't have let my boyfriend borrow it. Definitely not just a "chick car." Certainly got a lot of attention!

If you haven't got the money for a proper sports car then this is the next best thing.

It's got Transmission problems, every-time that I drive it, it blows a seal or gasket and leaks oil all over my engine and then smokes off leaving a cloud of smoke behind it; and every year that it has to get smoged the catalytic converter has to be replaced and it costs around a $1000.00.
