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.

Wolfwagen There is a good article from Inside EV talking about some of the repair shops that specialize in FIsker mostly the Karma and Revo. At least one of the shops purchased an Ocean to develop fixes. The biggest issue is software. As I understand from the article, Fisker used a lot of off-the-shelf parts, So parts should be available, but the knowledge to troubleshoot and repair will be an issue
Lou_BC Tires on a F350 crewcab diesel carrying a heavy load day in day out on gravel roads will get at least 50,000 km or 30,000 miles out of the OEM tires. Is there an alignment problem ? I don't buy the excess weight of an EV as an issue.
Tassos WHEN I BOUGHT THE THREE WRECKED E-CLASSES AND HAD THEM REPAIRED INTO ONE RUNNING/DRIVING UNIT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO BE WARY OF TIRE BITERS. I GOT AHEAD OF THAT PROBLEM BY BECOMING VOCALLY ANTI WOMEN AND ANTI CHOICE. NOW IM ALWAYS LONELY. BIDEN DOLLARS!
