Re: Which Car Would You Choose
I take it these are ones your considering to buy?
The second piccy looks black though. Or is that just me!
Both seem good. AD 1 has new tyres and brakes and major service so thats good
AD 2 has just been serviced. It has higher mileage than the earlier car in ad 1.
so its down to choice really. See them both and decide. Both look clean

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
Number 2 appeals more - the car looks unmolested, has a few sensible mods and doesn't have a missing front light. It's also newer and the green is a really nice colour.
I don't like the wheels on the first one, the missing light throws the "vgc" out of the window.
Not sure on pricing for NAs these days.

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
Yeah I'm looking at the first one tonight and the second too if I'm not too impressed with the first - I do like the price of the first and the mileage is less - however the seconds is REV3 - but it has an induction kit and is not called a G-Limited so I'm not sure what the insurance is going to be like as I have only got a quote on the G-Limited.
My gut is to go for the first because its £1000 cheaper new brakes tyres and a £300 service and a new MOT...but I don't want excitement to get in the way of clear judgement.

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
Don't read into the name on the 2nd one too much - it's an import NA so it's a G-Limited (or a G but that's unlikely).
Re: Which Car Would You Choose
All things being equal I'd go REV3 every time.
Besides it's dark green which is a relatively rare colour. It does look good in the flesh, something you can't see in a pic.
80k or 86k is neither here nor there in terms of mileage these engines can cover if looked after.
Spend the extra and get the later model. You'll only regret it later.

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
Id definatley go for the Rev 3 if they are both in a similar condition! Not sure about NAs but I know Turbos have a greatly improved suspension setup from Rev 2 onward. The first add looks like it could be a rev 1 car. Its also got a fog and a side light missing. Take your time when looking. You dont need to rush into buying the wrong car!
And they both appear to be imports!!

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
I too would suggest the 2nd. 6000 miles makes no odds. Both cars look like imports despite ad2 saying it's a GT. Having just bought an N/A myself (may last year) I do regret not spending a bit extra on a later car (or even a Turbo which you'll find yourself wanting in about three months).
I paid £3100 for mine (k-reg with a bit of SH and 115000 on clock), seems that I bought mine a few months too early as the bottom has fallen out of the prices - only real difference was T-bar and UK spec (imports are usually cheaper - but very little difference (I had to buy UK because of w@nk insurers))
Anyway, would suggest later model any day.

..the only thing I can promise for sure is slow progress.

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
Have to say for me it would be the rev3.
Mileage should be no problem. Plus that green colour is one of the nicest MR2 colours you can get. But as mentioned already don't rush into buying one. I spent two months looking for a totally standard and untouched NA (only to go down the serious mod route!!!)
Some I looked at had slight accident damage or had not been looked after. It is worth getting the most for your money so take your time.

I didnt think of that JJ. How much quicker is the Rev 1 over the Rev 3 NA? Surely there cant be much in it?

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
I'm off to look at the 2nd one now first one maybe later
One thing from an insurance point of view
I have a good quote on an MR2 G-Limited
This car doesn't seem to say G-Limited however its not a turbo i.e. GTS so should I still insure this as a G-Limited ?

Re: Which Car Would You Choose
How old are you Jansona? What kind of quotes you been getting on a g-limited? Im sure it wont make much difference as they are both imports. If I was you though id get an insurance quote on the car before you buy it.

Thats because it is a UK car, therefore G-Limited doesn't exist in England only Japan. Thats why the car is a GT.

They are both imports. If you look at the first picture you can see the orange side marker infront of the front wheel. If you look at the second car its got a jap spec rear plate.

Very unlikely the car is a GT then & has a FSH.........
