1987 Tercel 4WD SR5 $1200 obo

Post by Jiro »

Selling my beloved 1987 Tercel I've owned for the last 6 years. It is in really great shape considering the age and miles but the engine needs some love and I do not have the time with my new position at work.

$1200 obo

1987 Tercel 4WD SR5
208k miles
6 speed
Working power sunroof
Power steering
A/C (needs attention)
Factory roof rack
Tires are at +50% tread

New Parts (all OEM Toyota parts aside from the water pump, axle, alternator and brakes)
Front cv axle (Driver's side I think)
Alternator
Battery
Drive belts
Timing belt
Water pump
Cam seal
Crank seal
Valve cover gasket
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Air filter
Front brake calipers
Front brake rotors
Front brake pads
Rear brake cylinders
Rear brake shoes
Rear brake drums resurfaced

I'm pretty mechanically inclined, and from what I can tell this Tercel needs at least the head gasket replaced, and maybe a complete rebuild. It has been emitting white smoke and using coolant. It doesn't seem to consume much oil, however the spark plugs are a bit oily, but I have yet to do a compression check. Aside from that, the car drives wonderfully and is very clean inside and out. My friend and I removed all the interior to clean and shampooed the carpet. The only dents are one on the passenger front door, passenger side rear roof area and on the hood near the latch.

I am just east of Seattle. Blue smoke keeps other drivers staying 100+ feet behind me while driving :)

That's where I got his location.

There are a few chips in the windshield that have been filled.
