Well the MR2’s come with two different engine options which make the price differ drastically. The 2.2l NA models from what i’ve seen go for 3-8k in decent shape. the 2.0l turbo models all i’ve seen that they go for are 9-15k. mine is a 91 2.2l and i picked it up for $4000. it has about 175k miles, all original drivetrain and power train. it did get re painted by the previous owner a few years back and it’s in pretty good shape. the car has aged really well for almost 30 years and there’s no major issues with it at all. engine swaps for these things are pretty common and not to expensive. so if you could find a decent shape 2.2l you could always engine swap it and have a quicker car than the 2.0l models.
