If you have a film that features yuppies in the '80's or alternately down to earth people in the present you need a Tercel wagon in your film.

Re: Tercel Wagon needed for film in North California
funny, I like the description. they ask for the Tercel wagon by name! Even call it "quirky".
from the website for cars they are looking for:
• 1980’s quirky compact sedan or compact boxy wagon. Nissan Stanza or Toyota Tercel wagon preferred. Red, burgundy or other bright colors are ideal.
• 1980’s or 1990’s compact foreign sedan in rough shape. Body damage and mismatched color body panels are preferred.
• 1980’s or 1990’s full-size American four-door sedan in rough cosmetic shape. The car should be a conservative color (brown, beige, blue, gray).
• 1980’s or 1990’s luxury car in excellent condition. Black color is preferred. Examples could be a Range Rover, Jaguar, Mercedes, Rolls Royce or a Cadillac.
• 1980’s or 1990’s four-door American police car. The car does not have to have police gear or graphics. Preferred cars include Chevy Caprice, Ford LTD/Crown Victoria, Dodge Diplomat or Ford Taurus. Most colors are fine.

Re: Tercel Wagon needed for film in North California
On the subject of Tercel cars in films:
Why did Jesse Pinkman continue to drive an older Tercel wagon in the "Breaking Bad" series, when he was making satchel-loads of money as a methamphetamine producer and sometimes just throwing away wads of money? Because he didn't want to have a conspicuous car?

Re: Tercel Wagon needed for film in North California
I've always told my family that one day they'll be making an 80's movie in Melbourne, Oz and they'll be looking for good 80's cars and my Tercel will be in it. Now I've got two to double the enjoyment.
