Ugly car Interesting motor 16.5k still sounds fair It’s a rare car I don’t know how many people think its cool however which would impact the price a lot. Cars lose value look at newer M5s they were 80k brand new and can be had in the 20s now ---

I think these might pull a bit a of a porsche 993 and go way up in a few years (ZR1 only). They only made like 6900 total over all the years. and just for 91MR2, this car was somewhat developed by Lotus. ---

you’re right, I skimmed it a little fast, it had 9 offers and hte buy it now was 10k. I guess these have dropped a good big more than a thought, last time I was seriously looking at them was probably 5 years ago. I still think they are awesome and he got a great price. ---
