Sounds like a winner to me! One could probably fix this one quickly and have a daily driver for years to come.

IF you are reading the ad , the car is still for sale . I'm selling my 84 Toyota Tercel 4wheel drive wagon . I originally bought this back in 2003 with 158 thousand miles on it . I have done alot of work to it including Installing a rebuilt Transmission ( 6speed ) from Rising Sun engines .New clutch , pressure plate , throw out bearing and flywheel resurfacing , new engine rear main seal KYB srtuts and shocks , alternotor ( Bosch ) and voltage regulator , New Factory Toyota carburator , New vacume lines , timing belt and tensioner , water pump , 2 core radiator .
I sold it to a friend last year and he drove it for 8 months and then he wanted to sell it as they had another kid and needed a mini van . So I bought it back thinking I'd keep it around for a winter / camping car . Well It needs some more work like a front pump seal for the oil pump ( leaks oil BAD) and the steering rack needs rebuilt as it makes a clunk noise going over bumps . IT'S NOT the cv joints cause they are fairly recent .
The car has 176 thousand on it now and the tags are still good for another year . Has good tires and brakes on it .Still runs and drives good but the oil leak and the steering need to be addressed . I just installed new bocsh platnium +4 plugs and did a compression test . all 4 cylinders are in the 180-185 psi range as the were when I did the test at 158k . I'd fix it and sell it for way more because I've seen some of the highmile POS tercels on CL going for $1000+ .
If you are Mecanically inclined and have the tools you could do all the work and spend about $200 cash and have the issues fixed . I have other things to get fixed around here and I don't have the time or Money to spend on the Tercel . It will run and drive to it's new location but the issues really need to be fixed before being a daily driver .
Price is $500 cash ( no checks of any kind and no wire transfers ) and not a penny less SO that means the price is firm also means that the car won't leave my driveway with out $500 cash in my hand !! NO TRADES , NO SHIPPING ! Serious people only PLEASE ! NO tire kickers , time wasters or scrapers . If I wanted the money that bad I would have scraped it myself . Thank's for looking and I hope it get's a good home . Please leave me a phone number to contact back . No phone number no responce from me .
