My tercel:: 1985

1985 wagon for sale SLC, Utah $SOLD

Post by Trunk Monkey »

Well, from my other thread about trying to decide if a Tercel wagon is a good first car for a 16yo, we've decided to have him drive the Subaru and sell the Tercel. Primary reason is the airbags and ABS and subsequent discount we get on already ludicrously expensive insurance for those safety items.

Anyway, on to the Tercel for sale. It's my Dad's 1985. He was the second owner, bought in 1990. It currently has 280k miles. It runs great, starts right up, no smoke or any funny noises, manual transmission. The primary issue with this car is the rust that's starting to appear in the wheel wells. Just like the 80's Land Cruisers I had, it seems to be a thing there. It's just on the lips of the fenders. Next sunny/warm day we have here I'm going to coat them with POR-15 to at least keep it controlled.

AC works, radio works, the anemic buzzer tries very hard to tell you to put your seat belts on. Four wheel drive system works fine, t-case shifts right into 4x4. In searching around the docs with it I see regular maintenance items done at the dealership (brakes) and it looks like the timing belt at 200k.

I'm going to list it locally in a couple weeks, but as with the Land Cruisers I dearly love, I thought I'd offer it up to enthusiasts that were very helpful with my question.

Thanks!
