For a J reg, no... not really I would say.

But people may be put off by:
* Not everyone likes a silver spray dash - and you can't tell how well it's been done in a photo!
* No Mileage is quoted
* I would want to know more detail about the engine re-build.

I think there are two distinct markets for MR2 turbos...

Those that are primarily standard,
Those that have been subject to significant mechanical or more importantly engine modification.

The latter requires a lot of detail to convince a buyer of future reliability.

Correct me if i'm wrong but this is a turbo replica isn't it?

Unless you removed the boost gauge and put the battery volt meter in there.

As above - looks like some good mods but more detail needed.

I'd agree with Paul.
My next MR2 will have to be completely std/unmolested or a serious beast.
You need to fill in the 'table' and not leave so many bits blank, and be completely honest about the car.

I think it's just a crap ad to be honest.

I would never buy from someone who owns a car with that many mods but has spent 30 seconds of effort to sell it.

Plus you don't spell 'worry' as 'worrie'. Things like that don't bring out much confidence from people.

You could make that ad so much better.

And not quoting the mileage is one of the most annoying things in classified ads. It basically says to me 'mileage is too high so don't bother'. Better to state the mileage and let the viewer decide.

This is how you sell a car...
