Used 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder for Sale near Fairbanks, AK

This Toyota MR 2 Spyder is fun to drive, its nimble, tight. Nice little roadster. Value is in the eyes of the beholder. Prices are pretty salty on most that are available. The only thing missing is storage space. Small storage space behind seats, but a luggage rack on back could help that. Compatible models might be the Nissan Miate or the Honda S2000 which is even more expensive.

We use this car for Autocrossing and has been enhanced accordingly. Stiffer sway bar, Koni shocks, and muffler has been replaced with a supertrap. It used to be nationally competitive. We really haven't needed to spend any money on repairs above general maintenance and lots of tires due to autocrossing. Bad thing. Can't put baby car seats in and there is practically no storage.

I've owned this car for almost a year now. The problems have been seldom, and those that have happened are acceptable for a 75k+ miles car. It won't press you into the seat coming off the line, but it'll have your passengers reaching for the "OH SH*T" handle the second you take it arond a corner. As it's a Toyota, aftermarket parts are cheap and plentiful. Extra "oomph" doesn't come terribly cheap, though...all the parts (including those to safeguard your engine and chassis from destruction) will run $4,000-6,000 whether you want to do the 2ZZ swap (the 180 BHP Celica GTS motor) or forced induction (turbo/supercharger)...but with either route, you'll have a permanent smile on your face. Cargo space is almost nilll, so unless you're going to the beach for 2 days, plan on getting a removable trunk luggage holder. This car will get looks and questions of "What is that?" "Is that a Porsche?" where ever you go, since it is fairly rare.

This car is everything I was hoping for and more! What a gem this find was. A stock 2001 solar yellow mr2 Spyder with only 23,000 miles! This car is so clean and rides great.
