FS: 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder (MR-S)

Will Now Consider trades of equal value or trades of lesser value plus cash. Looking for an automatic car so the gf can drive. Will consider WRX Wagon, IS300, Honda Fit but open to offers.

Please note that I am posting this for a friend. Questions can be sent to mr2s4sale@gmail.com or feel free to PM me and I'll relay them over.

2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder (MR-S)
Transmission: Manual 5-Speed
Exterior Color : Black
Interior Color : OEM Yellow
Odometer Reading : ~200,000 kms
Asking Price : PRICE DROP $13,900 for the car and the extras listed below.

Extras Included at $13,900 :
1. Brand new header. Deletes two of the three cats and supposedly provides an extra 12-15 hp. My friend installed the same header and dynoed before and after for an increase of 18 hp. I definitely don't guarantee that number. Will still pass AirCare.
2. Brand new Espelir super down springs.
3. Brand new Katzkin leather interior kit. MSRP at a grand USD, street price $700. Discontinued, so good luck finding one for that price.
4. Rear pads and rotor replaced by a certified Lexus pro technician. Fronts are good.

Specific Details:
I'm selling a 2000 MR2 Spyder (or MR-S as it's called outside of North America). This car was never sold in Canada and only within the last year were the laws changed to allow its importation into this country. I flew down to San Francisco last year to purchase it, and drove it back to Vancouver (getting approximately 700kms to a 40 litre tank of gas in the meantime). It has been inspected, has passed all inspections and is currently fully insured as my daily driver. If you want a rare car, this is it; this car was probably the third in the country and there aren't likely much more than half a dozen out there. This is also the only MR2 I've ever seen with the original yellow interior.

The car itself is similar in size to an older Mazda Miata or a Honda S2000, with acceleration times between but closer to the Miata. It's mid-engined, rear wheel drive layout make it unique as its closest competitors are the much more expensive Lotus', Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. It weighs less than 2200 pounds, making it one of the lightest cars available and, as such, exhibits fantastic handling. This car is the best-handling unmodified car I've ever driven. Mechanically, the engine is shared with newer Corollas and Celicas so finding parts isn't a problem.

The price is $13,900 and includes the extra parts. Being a California car its whole life, it has some paint chips in the front fascia from their terrible highways and a golf ball sized slight indentation on the rear decklid where a previous owner dropped something on it. If you're interested, please email me at mr2s4sale@gmail.com. Thanks!
