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 GranTurismo Folgore design and key specifications revealed

Sun, Sep 4 2022

The next-generation Maserati GranTurismo will spawn an electric, Folgore-badged variant with over 1,200 horsepower. While the coupe hasn't been fully unveiled yet, the Italian company published a video that shows it without camouflage and reveals key specifications. Shot on California's picturesque roads, the five-minute film provides a better look at the second-generation GranTurismo's shapely design. It's characterized by a long hood, a fastback-like roof line, and a relatively short trunk, while its front end borrows a handful of styling cues inaugurated by the MC20 and also seen on the Grecale. The model is instantly recognizable as a member of the Maserati portfolio. We already know that the first series-produced electric Maserati will ship with a three-motor drivetrain rated at about 1,200 horsepower. Design boss Klaus Busse (who is behind the wheel in the video) announced that the GranTurismo Folgore takes 2.6 seconds to reach 60 mph from a stop and reaches a top speed of over 200 mph. He added that the battery pack is housed in the transmission tunnel, a solution which allowed his team to give the car a relatively low profile, but details such as the unit's size and the driving range remain under wraps. Not interested in EVs? Maserati has you covered: it will position the Folgore at the top of the GranTurismo range but it will also offer at least one V6-powered version of the car. We're guessing that the engine will be related to the excellent 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 that powers the MC20. Maserati will release more details about the GranTurismo Folgore in the coming months, and the coupe's unveiling is scheduled for 2023. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2023 Maserati MC20 Cielo First Drive Review: Fine-tuned from the top down

Fri, Oct 21 2022

CATANIA, Sicily — “We wanted to give the Cielo the same behavior and character as the MC20 but with the sharp edges made a little smoother,” explained Federico Landini, the man in charge of the MC20Â’s development. Cielo is the name Maserati chose for the convertible MC20 — it means “sky” in Italian and sounds less generic than Spider, Spyder or another arachnid-inspired label. This new version of MaseratiÂ’s first supercar in over a decade slots in the range as a softer, more touring-oriented alternative to the coupe. While the two MC20s look a lot alike, Maserati ensured the Cielo has its own personality. Same heart, different bones Like the MC20 coupe, the Cielo is powered by MaseratiÂ’s excellent 3.0-liter Nettuno V6 engine, which is twin-turbocharged to develop 621 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 538 pound-feet of torque from 3,000 to 5,500 rpm. While 600+ horsepower is par for the course in this segment, achieving that number with six cylinders is rather unusual. The engine develops 207 horsepower per liter of displacement. If every engine offered this level of power density, weÂ’d have a 414-horsepower Volkswagen Golf GTI to play with. This engine also powers variants of the Grecale SUV, though the MC20 models use a dry-sump lubrication system. Landini told me Maserati felt confident sending a V6 into a ring dominated by rivals with eight or more cylinders because it fitted the engine with both direct and indirect fuel injection systems. This innovative technology — which traces its roots to Formula One racing — adds pre-chambers inside the cylinder head and a second set of spark plugs to the 90-degree V6 to provide a 100-horsepower boost. Mid-mounted, the Nettuno spins the CieloÂ’s rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission linked to a pair of steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. Maserati quotes a 0-62-mph time of a little under 3 seconds and a top speed of approximately 199 mph, so the coupe is slightly quicker and faster. Giving up two or three tenths of a second to highway speeds and forfeiting a few miles per hour at the top end is a fair trade for unlimited headroom. Going topless also makes the Cielo about 143 pounds heavier than the coupe: it tips the scale at roughly 3,400 pounds, which remains reasonably light.
