Today, in the dead of winter, we present to you a convertible. It's a 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder.

This one has a five-speed manual and has 78,600 miles on the odometer. The fluids have been replaced, as have the struts and brake pads. The front rotors have also been replaced.

Other new or replaced items include the spark plugs, ignition coils, and rims. The factory speakers have been replaced with new ones, and there are new LED headlights and LED front side-marker lights. The seller claims the car is running well and is good enough condition to daily drive reliably.

Tim Healey

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.

Well - In my past I owned both a used Boxster and a used MR2. Yeah, the Boxster was a more fun car to drive. But....The MR2 never saw the inside of a repair shop. The Boxster was a Repair Shop Queen.

Akear Mary Barra has little or no feel for the market. This is yet another reason why GM will perform better when she retires. Barra's track record at GM is about as good as Biden debate performance last week.

Jeff China now has the manufacturing capacity to produce 1/3 of the World's vehicles but under the current geopolitical environment this will not happen. As someone above stated all bets are off if China invades Taiwan. What many don't understand is that China plans for the long term and can wait it out till the geopolitical environment becomes less hostile toward China. I am not endorsing Chinese trade just stating that China is preparing for the future.
3-On-The-Tree Im glad it was fixed in time that would’ve been a huge pain and inconvenience to you if it had broke. My 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 has been great with no recalls. My 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 actually had a recall for the gas tank and seat belt warning stickers about 10 years go and Toyota fixed it, got a new tank, fuel lines and stickers.
Rochester Statistics and numbers don't have an agenda, which is why I like most lists. But these days statistics are used to validate why raw market trends are "correct"; (crossovers, EV's pro and con, the manual transmission, etc.). But by smugly declaring an opinion or trend as proven true by the market, it overlooks any intrinsic value the point of discussion may have. And when that gets lost, we all lose.
