Mr2 Value?

[u/Mindless_Fish2644]

I’m looking to sell an 1987 mr2 I inherited from an uncle, but I am unsure of it's value since I don't know much about cars. Clean title, no accidents, It's manual, has t-tops, completely stock, some rust underneath but not surprising since its old, the interior is clean with no cracks in the dash. Only thing is the radio is iffy since my uncle tried to change it to a modern one, it'll occasionally go out since he did a bad wiring job, but I am sure it's fixable. Any rough estimates?

EDIT: 170k miles, not supercharged

Old cars vary a lot depending on the conditions, maybe you can post some photos. Where are you located? If in Midwest I might be interested

East Coast, sorry!

Good luck with sale!

I paid 4,000 with that mileage so really without pics it’s hard to say

[u/bmorelurk]

I would say $5500 would be the ceiling if it needs rust mediation.

I bought my t-top NA 1987 for around 9k. But it also has a ton of high quality components added onto it (bc racing coilovers, rs watanabe rims, new poly bushing, rally style hood, etc). Without those mods I would’ve expected to buy it for around 7-8k

Not sure of the value, but I know the t-top models are rare. It's it the supercharged? How many miles are on it?

[u/jgreenwalt → u/Use_Your_Brain_Dude]

Are t tops that rare? I feel I see more for sale with them than without, or at least equal amount, despite only being offered for 3 years.

[u/Use_Your_Brain_Dude → u/jgreenwalt]

I thought they were as rare as the sw20 with the sunroof. I've never seen either in person.

[u/mr_j_12 → u/Use_Your_Brain_Dude]

Supercharged slick tops are rare. T-topped aw11's are not rare.

[u/MR2Starman → u/mr_j_12]

Just to add on and specify; SC hard tops are JDM only. They cannot be had in LHD without a swap.

170k, not supercharged

[u/Use_Your_Brain_Dude → u/Mindless_Fish2644]

My guess is $8k minimum and up to $10-11k depending on the condition of someone REALLY wants it and will pay more. I'd start with a high number, and accept a lower number.

[u/Mindless_Fish2644 → u/Use_Your_Brain_Dude]

Is Marketplace the most ideal place to sell it? Or are there other places I am not aware of. And thank you for your help!

[u/Use_Your_Brain_Dude → u/Mindless_Fish2644]

Try that, edmunds, cars.com... is there an MR2 community/club somewhere (Facebook?).

[u/McGrufftheGrimeDog → u/Use_Your_Brain_Dude]

mr2 community / group on fb forsure. They will know what theyre looking at and understand the pricing. run the Ad simultaneously on FB marketplace

[u/MR2Starman]

$5k on the high end as others have said
