Overview
Turn heads across Denver in this iconic 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder, finished in eye-catching Solar Yellow with a black cloth convertible top and a slick 5-speed manual transmission. This mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive roadster is one of the purest driver's cars Toyota ever built, and this example has been thoughtfully upgraded with Tein lowering springs, a Cusco center brace, upgraded sway bars, upgraded headers, and an APEXi cat-back exhaust for razor-sharp canyon carving. With just 62,784 miles, a clean CARFAX showing no accidents, and 24 documented service records, this Spyder is Colorado-ready for top-down cruises along Lookout Mountain and Peak to Peak Highway. A modern Sony Apple CarPlay/Android Auto head unit keeps the cockpit connected, blending classic JDM roadster feel with today's convenience.

Mike's Notes
I personally inspected this MR2 Spyder and I have to say — as a fan of pure driver's cars, this one made me grin ear to ear. The Solar Yellow paint absolutely pops in the Colorado sunshine, and the previous owner clearly loved it: Tein lowering springs, Cusco center brace, upgraded sway bars, upgraded headers, and an APEXi cat-back exhaust give it a beautifully planted stance and a sound that lets you know it means business. The clean CARFAX shows no accidents, 24 service records, and a recent oil change in March, plus a full suspension refresh (front and rear struts) back in 2019 — so the mechanical bones are solid. Someone also installed a modern Sony head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is honestly the perfect touch — classic mid-engine roadster feel with a modern connected dash. At just 62,784 miles on a car that's still one of the best-handling Toyotas ever built, this Spyder is a rare find, and it's ready to shred Highway 285 or Golden Gate Canyon the moment you drop the top.
