I would like to see anyone get 40 mpg with a tercel, sounds like a croc to me. $1500 for a rust bucket?

didn't look too rusted in the pics but yeah, price does seem high. or maybe you should ask more for your tercs!

funny, when i click the link it goes to the ad but when i search craigslist for it, it doesn't come up. weird.

It certainly was not a rust bucket It was a good buddy of mine, that owned it. The thing was "CHEERY" super low kms, drove mint had 2 full sets of tires, one owner, parked in a heated garage for the last 11 years .......etc
Actually had people fighting for the first viewing and it sold to the first person. I still have not put mine up on any local forsale sites, but I think it may be time. :wink:
