Used Car of the Day: 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder
Today's UCOTD is a highly modified convertible runabout.
This 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder was purchased by our seller in 2010, and it received the 2z engine and a six-speed transmission in a swap in 2014.
The front end has been repainted because of rock chips, and this 109,000-mile car has been garaged and not driven in the snow.
Other mods include upgraded headers, exhaust, flywheel, clutch, a cat-less downpipe, midship and front and rear bracing, carbon-fiber strut-tower bars, modified springs and shocks, performance brake rotors, steel-braided brake lines, and an MR2 luggage set.
There are some minor problems -- a couple of rips in the top that don't cause leaks, wear in the driver's seat, a constant presence of the check engine light due to the lack of a catalytic converter, a paint chip in the rear bumper, and no doors for the rear storage compartment.

I'd love to have a car like this, but if this one's missing the catalytic converter, it probably won't pass emissions. No thanks.
MR-Spyder with a 2ZZ and 6 speed? Yes please!
