I found a nice stock MR2 for sale in my local area for a fairly low price. However, the car has 189k miles (original motor and turbo). The car is owned by a senior that owned the car for more than 16 years and he said he never drive it hard. The car was well maintained and have all paper work for the maintaince. But my question is how long does the 3sgte usually last even if its well maintained? If something went bad, how much would it cost to rebuild the engine? Thank you!
