Today, in the dead of winter, we present to you a convertible. It's a 2004 Toyota MR2 Spyder.

This one has a five-speed manual and has 78,600 miles on the odometer. The fluids have been replaced, as have the struts and brake pads. The front rotors have also been replaced.

Other new or replaced items include the spark plugs, ignition coils, and rims. The factory speakers have been replaced with new ones, and there are new LED headlights and LED front side-marker lights. The seller claims the car is running well and is good enough condition to daily drive reliably.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Well - In my past I owned both a used Boxster and a used MR2. Yeah, the Boxster was a more fun car to drive. But....The MR2 never saw the inside of a repair shop. The Boxster was a Repair Shop Queen.

Larry Bring back the Cadillac luxury, the Cadillac "float" ride suspension and beautiful plush interiors that always separated it from the rest, even Lincoln Town Cars did not measure up. I have an xt4. While a beautiful design, there is no LUXURY, the ride is hard with a stiff suspension, there is a no name poor sounding sound system, ugly cheap wheels and more unflattering features. This 2023 doesn't come close to my old 1980 Fleetwood Broughm or even my 1994 Sedan Deville.
Arthur Dailey GM could easily have fixed Cadillac while it was still the world's largest automaker. Or when it was a corporation making good profits. Now, not so much. Only large and/or profitable organizations can afford a prestige building, loss leader, 'halo' type of vehicle. With the exception of M-B, Porsche, and now BMW which was not a prestige player until after Cadillac declined, and perhaps Lexus what other prestige marques are profitable? The Escalade is what now defines Cadillac. So it is Escalade vehicles that they should concentrate on. For the market that does not care about MPG, that wants something big, bold, flashy and prefers if their purchases are overpriced because that demonstrates that they have more than enough money.
Ajla So I guess this means game over for the journos and YouTubers because they spend so much time in new vehicles.
JMII I mentioned this before but my local Nissan dealer has taken over the nearby shopping mall's parking lot. Frontiers are plentiful.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Making payments on a new car is also killing you.
