Engine sounded great was painted recently has reciets for that and alot of other various reapirs all done at a toyota dealer ship The interior is a little rough but not terrible probally a 6 outa 10 the drivers seat had a few rips an tears The tires are decent. Theres a a little bit of surface rust forming at the bottom of the rear wheel well on the out side. It has 119 000 miles on it everthing works ecepte the a/c theres also a small crack in the windsheild at the bottom corner.

The mileage/condition is pretty fair for the asking price. I see these go for 6-7 all day throughout the MR2 community. It’s definately worth 4 based on the description. I’d offer 3800. If you need a hand checking it out feel free to send me a pm.
Good luck.
