Today, in the dead of winter, we present to you a convertible. It's a 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder.

This one has a five-speed manual and has 78,600 miles on the odometer. The fluids have been replaced, as have the struts and brake pads. The front rotors have also been replaced.

Other new or replaced items include the spark plugs, ignition coils, and rims. The factory speakers have been replaced with new ones, and there are new LED headlights and LED front side-marker lights. The seller claims the car is running well and is good enough condition to daily drive reliably.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Well - In my past I owned both a used Boxster and a used MR2. Yeah, the Boxster was a more fun car to drive. But....The MR2 never saw the inside of a repair shop. The Boxster was a Repair Shop Queen.

EBFlex No loss. Ford hasn't had a nice looking vehicle in a very long time.
FreedMike Makes perfect sense. Petroleum companies are the ones who have the most to lose from people switching to EVs. Every one sold is a car they don't get to sell fuel for anymore. Might as well cater to those customers too. At some point, petroleum companies would be wise to make the swtich from selling gas to selling ENERGY, and one of those energies could be electricity. Good business is where you find it, guys.
Golden2husky 2014 Vette, just front tires so far. Acura TL is a recent acquisition so no expenses yet though the passenger window reverses all the time for no reason. 2002 Buick was mostly trouble free until its 21st birthday. Last year brought five repairs, three of which were window regulator issues. I just had a tie rod separation due to an inproper wheel alignment that had too few threads in the outer tie rod end. Good thing that happened at low speed. No fun when you can't steer....
JK Savoy Blue is a thing, but Sestriere White? Sestriere is a ski town near Turin, so I guess it meant to conjure up thoughts of snow. Pretty car. I hope Pininfarina has success. The industry in and around Turin has taken a big hit and is a shadow of its former self.
