85 Tercel 4WD 119,500 Price lowered

Post by Kathryn »

I am selling my 1985 Tercel 4WD
New Price $1500 / Make reasonable offer
Low miles 119,500
Interior and exterior in very good shape
At 118,593 miles got the following work done:
Engine tune up, set timing, new spark plugs, oil filter
Replaced engine drive belts
New fuel filter
New RF axle
New radiator
Valve cover gasket service
Two of the tires are pretty new, maybe a thousand miles usage
Passed DEQ emission standards, tags good until 11/2017
Does need someone to fix passenger window (doesn't roll up properly)
I thought it had a clutch issue but brother takes it on the freeway for short rides and says it runs well. Says he sometimes "double clutches"
Wants a loving home

I'll attach some photos although they are older, the main difference is I took one of your member's advice and had the window frames painted.

I'd like to get $3K
I'm in Portland, Oregon

Tell me what you think. Thanks

Hi,
Checking in to see if the car is still available. Looks like its in pretty good shape. Also wondering if you had any interior pics and also an engine bay pic.
Thanks,

Yes the car is still available. Haven't posted about it anywhere but here yet. I'll post a bunch of photos of the interior. The photos look sideways when I post them but if you click on them to enlarge they seem properly oriented.

Part one - the front seat area:

hopefully you will find a good home for this exceptional Tercel.

I have to say that every time I see the pictures I am jealous of it, it looks so nice and clean compared to mine.

of course mine has nearly 4 times the miles on it (most are very hard miles too), and lots of "road rash", wear and tear on the interior, and always needs a good cleaning inside and out. The fate of a daily driver in rural areas where many of the roads are not paved.

Hey, Tercel Folk...I still have this car and it's just sitting in my driveway. I need to purchase another battery for it to get it running. Also, the problem with this car is that it occasionally has trouble shifting into gear. Maybe a clutch issue, maybe something else. I am not going to fix this issue or even figure out exactly what it is.

So I'd like to sell it now. In Oregon, the tags are good through November. Offers welcome. What do you guys think it's worth? I''m hoping to get $1500. I'll add some photos of the engine bay. Please help this car find a home. Thanks

hit "post a reply", and at below the dialog box is a tab for "attachments", you can load photos from your hard drive there.

Great buy, seems you should be able to sell it.

Petros...thanks for responding. I tried adding a photo the way you described and it's not working. Not sure why.

are you trying to up load from your phone, or a PC? I know others have done it from their phone, but I have not tried that yet.

I have only done it from my desktop, it has a large hard drive where I keep my photos. you have to select them from your file, and there there is several step to up load them. Test by trying "preview".
