Used Car of the Day: 1985 Toyota MR2
We're back at it after a break while I was playing with UTVS in the desert (more to come later this week). We jump back into the madness with a 1985 Toyota MR2.
This one has just 86,000 miles on it, appears to be clean-looking and in good shape, and has original items such as the cassette player. Indeed, this manual-transmission car is 100 percent stock.
The seller says it's had one owner for 99 percent of its life and has been well-maintained. The maintenance list is in the post -- it's too long to share here.
Flaws include a trunk that only opens with a key and scratches that have accrued over the years.
If this Virginia-based car catches your eye, you can click here to see it.
The asking price is $20,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
