Should I????

Trade my atv for an 86 toyota MR2 5 speed? (like the one in my sig only non-supercharged)

I figure I should nab the rare car and hold on to it cause atv's are a dime a dozen.

Opinions?

Mr2 for sure.

I'm almost in the same shoes for a CRX. Sooner or later all the kids will have destroyed them.

The MR2 has 116k on it, NA motor, 5 speed. Body is good, few spots with bondo. Runs good, clutch good.

The atv is a 90 yamaha blaster. It's a heck of a lot of fun. But they are everywhere and MR2's are not.

Arranging now to do the swap with the guy.

Now that I think about it, this is a no-brainer.

Sorry for the useless thread...lol.

Trade. You can find an ATV anytime on kijiji. How often do you come across a decent MR2.

86 mr2 - Toronto Toyota Cars For Sale - Kijiji Toronto

There she be. That was the ad, pics are there.

She ain't pretty...yet.

Took it for a spin down the road, ran/drove great. Was actually quicker than I expected...guess cause it's so light, bout 2000lbs.

She needs some TLC, but thats half the fun of a project car. I can't wait to start workin on it.
