purely for interests sake--if you roughly calculate present day inflation on the price of hberdan's new terc back in '87, it works out to $15,282.17. extrapolate what you will.

Re: '84 SR5 eBay > INCREDIBLE CONDITION ! 37K MILES! <
that is interesting, it puts it just below the price of the lest expensive AWD cars today. I think that would be the Suzuki SX4, about $18k I think. A great little car with a 150 hp twin cam EFI engine that delivers 30 mpg. So if it was legally possible to produce the simple Tercel4wd today, that is about where it would sell. IIRC, the SR5 model T4wd was more like $9k.
So, does that mean the guy who paid over $10k for a 26 year old car get a good deal? It has the equivalent of about 2 years worth of driving on it.
