Looking to get into an MR2

I am looking to sell my 1998 Honda Prelude, which I just bought less than two months ago, and get into an MR2. I LOVE my Prelude, but I just realized (after dumping a lot into visuals/basics) how much it will cost to get an H22 Prelude into competition level times. So an MR2 is an opition now after I sell the Prelude. An MR2 or 300ZX (Twin turbo)
Prelude:

So, my question, is this a good buy:

Any input into the matter is appreciated, I dont know anything about MR2s

This might be bs. I cannot find him on any of the other mr2 sites.:2cents:

he doesnt particulary have to be a member of a mr2 site to have one, ive seen the car locally

that looks about par for current mr2 prices. good luck with it, they're great cars :)

all i have to say is, that's a nice 'lude. and that's coming from a guy who absolutly hates hondas(except the nsx). it's clean...i give it a 4.5 outta 5. not really likin the chrome lip on the rim. but it aint my car.

mr2's are good cars. i've driven a few. handle well...decent traction for snow(mid engine rwd) not so good for turns in snow. and the only drawback to em...cops will notice that car. i would know, i was just test driving one and got pulled over.

Here's a nice MR2 for you (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230183997534) ;)

Seriously, good luck with your search. MR2s are truly awesome machines.
