I'm selling my '83 Tercel 4WD here first $1,000. (Spokane)

SO I bought my friends '91 All Trac! And after driving it a few days i've decided to sell my beloved 83 Tercel. Havn't posted on CL yet, as I'd thought i'd give you guys first dibs since you care about these great little tanks and know what your doing.

I love my Tercel, but the new All Trac meets ...

Re: Should I trade my Tercel for friend's '89 AllTrac?

I appreciate the advice everyone. I think what i will do is just drive my friends Corolla AllTrac for a few weeks to see if i really prefer the added power, EFI, and quieter ride over the Tercel. Do they have similar fuel efficiency? I swear my Tercel gets nearly, if not exactly 30mpg. I've read the ...

Should I trade my Tercel for friend's '89 AllTrac?

Hey folks,
I have an opportunity to sell my '83 Tercel and buy a friends '89 AllTrac Corolla. As much as I love the Tercel, i've heard these Corolla's are possibly superior. My friends car is an actual Japan-built model- everything, engine, body,etc, made in Japan. Also, she's had it since '97 so i ...

My '83 has frame damage! Is it totalled?

Hey folks, a month back I had the pleasure of sliding down a very steep and icy hill here in Spokane, WA and had to ditch hard into a tall curb to avoid sliding into busy cross traffic below. The good news is i stopped, and didn't hurt myself or anyone else. Bad news is i heard what sounded like ...

Hi folks,
my timing belt tensioner bearing wore a big circular hole through the black plastic cover on my 83 t4wd. I cant seem to find a replacement cover anywhere, and i've gone to the junk yard twice now, too. Does anyone have one they can spare? My car is fixed and ready to drive, it just needs a ...

Selling my 1983 Tercel 4wd in Seattle. $800.00

I have this up on Craigslist right now too. I hate to part with my beloved Tercel wagon, with its luscious blue plaid bucket seats, but I am leaving July 5th to travel abroad for the next two years, so i would rather it be used than sit in storage waiting my return.
190k miles,6 speed, inclinometer ...

Re: WTB: Cargo area cover for silver '83 w/blue plaid int.

Hi
I've a few Tercels and will try to look for that, as I seem to remember having one around. It's cold and dark in Fairbanks but if you're in no hurry I'll try to get around to seeing if I can remember where it was. Paul in Fairbanks(-24 right now and the daylight is around 4 hours)

Hi, thanks ...

I remember when i was 5 years old a neighbors uncle visited and he had the same car as i do now 22 years later, and i distinctly recall ...
