Agreed, Pics don't work. However from reading the words in one of the links, it appears that the car is a Talon. Correct? Anyways, I think that you should keep the MR2, I'm sure that it's a lot more fun to drive than a DSM and you already have one 4g63 powered car anyways. Just my 2 cents.

Now that the pics are up, I'm still gonna say that you should stick with the MR2. I may be biases due to the fact that I have never had a mid engine RWD car, and I can only imagine the fun that could be had with it. As far as how much the Talon is worth, I personally would not pay anywere near 13k for it but I do acknowledge the fact that it is a decent DSM.

Try to get the talon and $$ cause theres no way I would pay 13K for a 1G. Granted it is nice and it seems he put alot into it though. Try to get him to throw some cash into the deal.

Just because you had the car 10 years is no reason to throw it away on a 1g talon.

I live in NJ as well, if you do a trade for that thing I'm going to drive up there slap you upside the head for a couple of hours AT LEAST

If he wants to trade, get another $10k in cash with the deal at the very least. You can find 1g dsm's all over the place, and they weren't really that great of a car fit and finish wise. Get a 1st gen 300gt VR4, loved those , didn't care for the 2nd gen's.

Just because he dumped a ton of money in it doesn't mean a whole lot to the cars value. If he wants to trade, get another $10k in cash with the deal at the very least.

The evo III engine is a 7 bolt, so try to steer away from that. We all know they like to crankwalk. I say stick with your MR2.

You're MR2 is a nice car, either get the money selling it or keep it. A 1g talon just isn't worth it.
