Single owner yellow 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder for sale. This is an amazing car, and it is only being sold because we have run out of room. This car has always been garage kept, very well treated, serviced regularly (synthetic oil). This convertible is one of the most fun 2 door convertibles ever made, and was one of the first non-exotic cars with a sequential manual gearbox. So it has all the benefits of a manual car, but shifts without a clutch. You can use the gear lever to shift up/down or use the shift controls on the steering wheel for speed.


I also added a small turbo charger (6 PSI) to this car early on which adds just that little bit of extra kick to the engine. The engine appears to have been designed to handle more power, but probably never sold enough for TRD to add the turbo. The turbo doesn't impact fuel efficiency until you put your foot down, and then it spins up quickly and gives that bit of extra power. Only down side is that you have to use premium fuel. But the high quality turbo came with an O'Grady engine management computer, which can be tuned further if you'd like (I left it at the default safe settings). The modifications include an improved air filter, and the turbo really gives the exhaust an even better note.

2003 was the year the car received both functional and cosmetic changes. The chassis was stiffened for better handling, and the lights and interiors received cosmetic rework. Also the SMT was changed from 5 to 6 gears. Never have had any accidents or issues with this car, always serviced by Toyota (even after turbo kit). The clutch for SMT was replaced around 30K as part of the turbo addition work.

If you have ever driven an MR2 Spyder you know there is nothing quite like it (unless you have a Lotus Elise), and with the extra pick up it really becomes the car it always wanted to be. A good handling car, very comfortable for daily driving, yet pretty sharp in handling. Currently has performance tires (rather than all season), but this car was never driven in the late fall and winter months (we put in away in the garage for the winter every year from Nov to April or so). Really can't recommend this car for driving in snow. But this car has an amazing heater, you can easily drive with the top down and heat on even when weather outside is around 40 degrees. With windows up the inside wind noise and turbulance is pretty low.

The manual convertible top is in great shape, works very well. The interior is in very good shape, just a small amount of age, but nothing like what you'd expect for a 10 year old car. The exterior paint is in very good shape, a few small dings and chips, but nothing major. The paint and clearcoat are in very good shape as they were not exposed much to the elements and the car always has been polished. Includes original manuals and tools.

Ask any questions you may have before bidding, happy to answer. If you want to buy the car with buy it now and want to see it before contact me to make arrangements.

2014 Maserati Ghibli

Wed, 26 Jun 2013

Italy Passionately Returns To The Sport Sedan Game
In its 99-year history, Maserati has arguably never made a vehicle as important as this all-new Ghibli.
Of course, there have been countless styling breakthroughs, mechanical advances and technical innovations, but no single passenger car has been required to bear the weight of the Italian company like its brand-new sport sedan. If the Ghibli succeeds, Maserati will welcome tens of thousands of new customers and, most importantly, celebrate a rekindled relationship with demanding North American buyers. If the Ghibli fails - well, the truth is, nobody has written an option for failure.

Maserati Levante production starting next year, Alfieri could come within 28 months

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Maserati is on a roll. The new Ghibli and Quattroporte have been huge successes, and it unveiled the gorgeous Alfieri concept (pictured above) at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The next step for the brand is getting the Levante crossover into production.
"We are getting Mirafiori ready for production [of the Levante]. The first bodies are expected for 2015," said Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne to Reuters in Geneva. He also said that there isn't much keeping the Alfieri off the streets. "The platforms and motors are there. Technically, production could start in 24-28 months," he said. However, Marchionne refused to say whether the company would actually give the concept a green light to be built.
Fiat hopes to be profitable again by 2016, and while its acquisition of Chrysler is certainly going to help, rejuvenating Alfa Romeo and Maserati are also a major part of the plan. In 2013, the Italian luxury brand saw sales more than double to 15,400 vehicles. Maser is still far away from its goal of selling 50,000 units by 2015, but it's quite a start. Fiat bought Maserati in 1993, but business went through a decade or more of doldrums and falling sales. It appears that the century-old brand is finally finding a path forward with some gorgeous new cars.

Maserati planning second smaller SUV?

Sun, 16 Dec 2012

Maserati's product plans have taken a few wild turns, but as we get closer to production dates for the long-awaited offerings things are getting a wee bit clearer. The the sixth-generation Maserati Quattroporte is here, and a quick recap according to a report in Car and Driver has the smaller Ghibli sedan on Chrysler's LX/LY platform next, then the next-generation GranTurismo coupe and cabrio on a Maserati platform, then the Kubang SUV concept (pictured) that, for production, will become the larger Jeep-Cherokee-based Levante SUV.
All of which gets us to 2015. That same year, according to the report, the Levante will get a brother: a smaller SUV or crossover, perhaps sized like the Kubang concept, to challenge the Audi Q5 and the Porsche Macan. It is predicted to use the Compact US Wide platform, built for front-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles, that supports the Dodge Dart and 2014 Alfa Romeo Giulia. In addition to giving the premium brand a competitor in what is a very popular segment, a Maserati move slightly downmarket can help fill a gap while Fiat brass figures out what to do with Lancia.
