1984 Tercel DLX 4WD wagon, automatic tranny went bad (comes with low-mileage tranny to swap in), 110K -- Best offer over $1000
Date of listing: 5/8/18

110K original miles. Automatic, quit working at stoplight-no gears, grinds when putting into park. Engine is solid and smogs easily (have records). Interior is grey vinyl and has wear to drivers seat. I love this car and hate to part with it but it is something I'm not willing to repair. Tires good. Brakes excellent. Body and paint good with usual dings and a couple of rust spots. Many, many replacement parts particularly under hood. I am looking for someone that is a fan of these great cars and wants to work on it. I am looking for a reasonable offer and will not respond to ridiculous ones. Responding to text is best, NO phone calls please!
UPDATE: I purchased a low mileage 4wd automatic transmission from out of state with the belief I could install it myself-I have the know how, but realize my age and not having a lift to do the swap will prevent it. BEST OFFER OVER $1000.

1986 Tercel DLX 4WD wagon, automatic tranny, runs but needs work, odometer mileage not given -- $600
Date of listing: 5/1/18

hiya craigslisters,

bought this lil guy a little less than a year ago and have been a bit overwhelmed by mechanic's inspection and what to do next. decided to post here for any interested parties.

runs and drives! work needed to make it a daily driver.

(not everything listed below is still an issue, but most aren't resolved yet)
mechanic's inspection revealed:

"carb float level is too high, needs to be adjusted.
radiator is cracked in multiple spots, about to blow
sway bar bushings are cracked
brakes are squishy due to master cylinder
needs front brakes
rear brakes need to be adjusted
brake light is on due to low brake fluid
valve cover gasket is leaking
distributor o-ring is leaking
front crankshaft seal is leaking; needs timing belt
needs both drive belts
needs lower ball joints
front struts are blown
rear muffler is bad, needs to go to exhaust shop to have a new exhaust from cat converter back

needs tires all the way around

vehicle has a 3al engine, this is from a 83-87 corona or 84-88 carina. these are motors not sold in the u.s. unsure where to buy parts for this."

does this sound like a nice challenge?

this wagon has awesome brown tercel 4wd seats for driver and passenger (newer, in good condition), the rear bench is original gray.
