Would you trade your Celica for an MR2?, opportunity arose... Options

[blu94gt]

So I may have the opportunity to trade the Celica straight across for a 91 MR2 turbo. It has 132k on it, and a few mods. Interior is a little rough compared to my car, but it does have lower miles since the 99 will be hitting the 160k mark. My biggest hang up is the age of the car, plus the reduced gas mileage and increased maintenance cost; but I've always wanted one, and would love something RWD again.

I know there are some big MR2 fans here, would you trade your Celica for one? Even if it's 8 years older?

The car has 132,XXX miles, its fresh black paint done professionally in july of 2009. It has JDM solid side moldings, Euro front signal lenses, a TRD short throw,factory fogs, Berk exhaust, a Berk down pipe goes with it, a manual boost controller from 2's R us, JDM power fold setup go with it. It needs new ebrake cables, a shift boot, other than that its solid seats are rough but interior otherwise is clean. This car starts, and drives everyday, Ive owned it almost a year. I got it from old man in Kansas oddly enough. Its a T-top car. Since I got it I put a passenger rear wheel bearing in, rear brakes, a new alternator, and battery. The asking price is 4500. Lower offers mean I keep some parts. I will consider trades....Here she is...417-850-7700

K trades I'm looking for are Honda crx eg/ek hatch something along those lines but all offers will be considered...for the right car I would throw cash your way





























The Car is DRY in these pics, Im not a photographer so they suck but it is what it is...Thanks for looking.

Haha thanks for the input guys. I would LOVE to have both, but the money just isn't there for it. I'm going to see if I can check it out tomorrow. I love the Celica, and have thought about doing a 1mz swap, but the MR2 is just such a better platform for performance.

EDIT: and the MR2 is definitely the heavier car. If I remember right the N/A is about 2500 pounds, and the turbo is just over 3000.
