When evaluating a used Toyota MR2 price, buyers should first consider the vehicle’s provenance: original factory sales, aftermarket modifications, and any race history. A clean, well‑documented service record typically commands a premium over a car with unclear history. Mileage plays a significant role; a MR2 with under 50,000 km will often sell for 20–30 % higher than a comparable unit with 150,000 km.
Understanding Toyota MR2 Depreciation
The Toyota MR2 depreciation curve follows a somewhat predictable pattern. New cars typically will lose 15‑20% of their value in the first year. This initial drop accounts for the usual wear and the loss of novelty. After year two, the depreciation rate slows to about 10% annually, dropping to around 5–7% from years three through five. By year six and beyond, the vehicle’s value tends to level off unless it suffers major mechanical failures or severe damage.
For example, a 1990 MR2 that sold for $10,000 now might be priced around $7,000 to $8,000, assuming it’s in good condition. But remember, collector interest can boost values—compared to more mainstream models, the MR2 often exhibits a higher depreciation slope in the early years due to its niche appeal. The car’s unique mid‑engine design, responsive handling, and iconic status help mitigate long‑term depreciation.
