This is a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder in overall very good condition. It is in excellent condition mechanically. See the flaws listed in the Condition Description above.

The Good Stuff is it had an engine replacement about 13,000 miles ago (see invoice copy in pics. I will send a better copy to the winning bidder) (The mechanics felt the cause was negligence by the previous owners, but who knows). There are no fluid leaks, AC is great, glass defrosted rear window, power locks, windows and mirrors, CD player (single). It runs great, no clutch issues. I change the oil and other fluids myself. I really do like this car, but I have it and a 2001 Jeep Wrangler. I need to get a practical vehicle.

The MR2 has very limited storage space. If you aren't familiar with the vehicle, check out www.spyderchat.com to learn everything you want to know. I won't go into all the details about it's handling ability, fuel economy, etc. That info is readily available on the link I provided and a lot of other places on the net. It is a LOT of fun to drive! The wheels are after market, old and need refinishing. I bought them off Craigslist on the cheap just to have something because the ones that were there when I got the car just had to go. They are 17s with 205s on the front and 225s on the rear. The overall paint polishes up pretty well, but a 13 year old car has paint dings. Buy with confidence. I describe things accurately, and there are no surprises.

A $500.00 non-refundable deposit is due at the auction's end (within 48 hours). The remainder is to be paid by cash, certified check drawn on US bank or bank to bank wire transfer within 7 days of auction's end. I will release the clear title immediately for cash, or mail the title to you when the certified check clears or wire transfer has completed.

NOTE: The engine replacement invoice shows only the labor cost associated with the replacement ($1,430.33), as an aftermarket warranty company provided the motor (LKQ remanufactured...this was quite a battle between the garage and the warranty company since they wanted to just send a used replacement, and the garage fought for a remanufactured and won. Great garage! The list price of the engine on the warranty co.'s paperwork was just over $2,700.00, but they paid for that I'm happy to say.

Do NOT bid on this car if your funding has the potential to mysteriously disappear. If you don't intend to pay, keep your distance. Enough unpleasantness now. Check out the video:

2014 Monterey Motorsports Reunion is a symphony of classic racers

Mon, Aug 18 2014

With about 550 classic racecars lapping Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca over the course of the weekend, the Monterey Motorsports Reunion might be one of the largest vintage racing events in the country, maybe even the world. It was certainly one of the highlights of the lavish Monterey festivities last weekend. This year's featured marque was Maserati, which was celebrating its 100th anniversary, and plenty of trident logos could be found on track, ranging from the 250F grand prix car to some of the company's later sports cars. Of course, with 15 groups of classic racers, there was basically something for any motorsports fan. Among the highlights were the Trans-Am race that brought together rumbling hunks of American muscle to jostle for position on track. There was also a fantastic class from the '50s and '60s with Ferraris, Corvettes and even a Volvo P1800 and Toyota S800 racing together. Watching these iconic racers back on track at full pace was just a revelation to see, smell and hear. There were too many fantastic cars to list them all, but feel free to check out Autoblog's huge gallery from Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca to see if you spot your favorite racecars of yesteryear.

Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.

Maserati readies Modena plant for Alfieri, shelves GranTurismo soon

Tue, Feb 12 2019

It is highly likely that the Maserati GranTurismo will soon go the way of the Biturbo. An Australian Maserati executive was quoted as saying that GranTurismo production will end by the end of this year, and Maserati itself has announced that the Modena plant making the GranTurismo will face production line upgrades to prepare for a new model. Glen Sealey, general manager of Maserati's Australia and New Zealand operations, told Carsales that GranTurismo production will cease by the end of 2019, and that dealer stock Down Under will last until mid-2020. The GranTurismo will reportedly be succeeded by the all-new Alfieri coupe, based on a space-frame chassis that will also see a convertible variant added to the lineup. Earlier reports have included the mention of a full-electric Alfieri version produced with Ferrari know-how. Maserati's own statement says that upgrading and renewal of the Modena production lines will begin in the autumn of 2019, meaning that the GranTurismo should remain in production for less than nine months. Maserati also mentioned "a totally new model, a characteristically Maserati sports car" entering pre-series production during the first half of 2020, but according to other reports, it could take until 2022 for the Alfieri to reach customers. If that's true, there'd be quite a gap in the Maserati portfolio. The GranTurismo was launched at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show, though updates have strived to prolong its shelf life. Recent GranTurismo sales in the United States have been modest: after a little more than 2,000 units sold in 2016, sales halved for 2017. Maserati has stated earlier that it wants to reach 100,000 global sales by 2022, with a 15-percent profit margin. Image Credit: Maserati Plants/Manufacturing Rumormill Maserati maserati alfieri
