1983 Tercel SR5 wagon, 224K -- $1000
Date of listing: 3/28/18

I have a 1983 Tercel 4WD wagon up for sale. I've owned it for many years but it's in need of repairs like most cars of this age will need. It has 224,000 miles, which is low for a 35 year old vehicle. There aren't too many of these cars around anymore in So Cal as much as I used to see them in the past. These are capable little 4WD wagons when maintained properly and will out-last a lot of modern vehicles. It is equipped with power steering and has a 5 spd manual with the Extra Low gear only accessible in 4WD mode. I am open to reasonable offers since I need to sell it soon. I also have some spare parts available as well including spare transmissions and engines that I could include in the sale. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Date of listing: 3/24/18

I bought this girl as a project for a potential daily driver but life denied such joys.
1986 Toyota Tercel wagon, 4cyl, 5 spd, working 4wd with granny gear. It's got body rust in the right places, wheel wells, under door runners, nothing appears to be too extensive. As far as issues that I'm aware of, all it needs is a muffler and tailpipe to be tagged, and the speedometer needs assessment. something else though. Since I've owned it I've replaced the starter, battery, spark plugs and wires, driver side cv joint, radiator and water pump. I have most receipts. She is exceptionally fun to drive, like a big go kart, but a 4wd wagon.

1986 Tercel DLX wagon, automatic transmission, 230K -- $1250

This is a Perfect little around town car or possibly a starter car for your teenager. Super easy to drive and park. Good visibility for the driver. Lots of space inside. Back seats fold down so can haul lots of stuff. also equipped with a roof rack and cross bars.

Paint is good. Two new all season front tires, the back tires were still good and they inspected the brakes (good). New battery. New digital stereo with aux in and a remote control. Recent oil change and coolant flush. Everything has been inspected by the mechanic. Hums along on the freeway.

1987 Tercel DLX wagon, manual tranny, 4A-fe engine swapped in about 20K miles ago (202K miles on body), needs repairs before driving -- $1995 (negotiable)
Date of listing: 3/18/18

i'm selling a 4a-fe swapped Tercel 4wd wagon, a very rare car around these parts, i've only ever seen 2 and i own both of them, the car is from Arizona, it was first owned by a park ranger at the grand canyon, good choice by him, these cars are capable in bad conditions. the swap was done by the third owner in 2007 or so and has only done approximately 20,000 miles since then (body has 202,000), the original mileage of the engine is unknown, but it came from a 1990 geo prizm. this car is being sold as-is, it runs, drives, can use 4wd and extra low, shifts smoothly, and stops, but that is about it i would not reccomend driving this car more than 10 miles in its current state, there is a problem in the suspension that causes a jitter under acceleration, possibly an axle or other suspension component, the temputure guage needs a plug (old one crushed) and it needs a muffler and battery. on the plus side the head gasket was replaced, head surfaced and cleaned, and the oil and coolant were flushed 10 miles ago. i bought this car from the previous owner who did not want to spend the money to get the head redone his loss is your gain. comes with a set of winter tires, the radio will not be included, and the car is not insured or plated. the price is negotiable, no trades please.

This is local to me and from the few photos posted, looks pretty darn clean for this area of the rust-belt. I'd be willing to check it out for anyone with serious interest, or help potentially facilitate a purchase from a distance. If I weren't nearly broke right now, I'd be investigating this one for myself...

The CL listing I referenced is a scam with stolen photos from the real owner of that T4WD. Actual owner of that car has it up for sale on Facebook Marketplace for $3500. 137K and appears to be in rather remarkable condition. Wish I had the cash because it's not often that I see any Tercs for sale around here, let alone one that's nearly rust-free and garage-kept.

Not sure if he's aware of our forum, but here's the link to his FB post:
