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:

Maserati makes 328-foot-long trident with 80 Grecale test mules

Wed, Nov 17 2021

Maserati delayed the launch of the Grecale, its long-awaited second SUV, from November 2021 to the spring of 2022, but that doesn't mean the test mules and the engineers tasked with driving them are taking a sabbatical. The company is still testing prototypes all over the world, and it brought 80 pre-production models fully draped in camouflage to a test track in Modena, Italy, to create a giant trident emblem. Over 250 development models are racking up miles in Italy, Finland, the United Arab Emirates, China, Japan and the United States, according to the Italian firm. About a third of them gathered near the company's home town to form the 328-foot trident. It's a stunt that allowed Maserati to release a handful of cool images, but it teaches us little about the Levante's baby brother, which will be aimed at the Porsche Macan. Luckily, Maserati also released a couple of images that show four prototypes parked in front of the Milan Cathedral. We can tell that the Grecale borrows a handful of styling cues from the MC20; it's not simply a scaled-down Levante. Its headlights are oval and nearly vertical (the Levante's are thin and almost horizontal) and its grille looks wider and thinner. Earlier spy shots suggest that the Grecale wears a roofline that leans more towards sport than utility; it's not a utilitarian people-hauler with the proportions of a school bus. Unverified reports claim that Maserati will build the Grecale on an evolution of the Giorgio platform that underpins Alfa Romeo's Stelvio and Giulia models. If that's accurate, rear-wheel drive will likely come standard (at least in some markets) and all-wheel drive will be offered at an extra cost. We're guessing that four- and six-cylinder engines will be available, though full specifications haven't been published yet, and Maserati previously confirmed that a high-performance version worthy of the Trofeo emblem will join the range at some point. More details about the Maserati Grecale will emerge in the coming months. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Maserati Alfieri Concept seen and heard in early leak [w/video]

Mon, 03 Mar 2014

As is so often the case ahead of a major debut, somebody wasn't able to keep the latest concept car from Maserati under wraps all the way until the drawing of its curtain at the Geneva Motor Show. The low-slung silver coupe you see above is said to be the Maserati Alfieri Concept, and, though these images aren't exactly the greatest, it looks pretty good. We like the small proportions of the Alfieri and the aggressive look of the car's front and rear fascias, and we certainly note a more assertive design than the Granturismo it would likely replace.
Rumor has it that both V6 and V8 engines may be on the table, mounted up front and driving either the rear or all four wheels, but we'll have to wait for official confirmation before we know for sure. In any case, this new Maserati, if it does go into production, is tipped to line up against such sporting contenders as the Jaguar F-Type and Porsche 911. Check out the two leaked images above, watch and listen to the car move under its own power in the video below, and feel free to let us know what you think in the Comments.

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan

Thu, 08 May 2014

Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
