Wow that car is in incredible shape, maybe not $2300 worth of shape, but overall holy shit.

Why wouldn't this car be worth $2300? Not trying to get on your case, but I would think a very clean low mileage daily Terc could certainly fetch that much deaux in the Granola State.
It's a scientific fact that in a twin engine aircraft, when one engine fails there is always enough power in the remaining engine to make it all the way to the crash site.

I may have just sold list member Tercel4wdrules '84 SR5 for $2800. The buyer wants to see it this weekend, but he is thrilled to find a decent one in this condition at that price. It has 169k miles, a near perfect body and (now, thanks to me) has a clean interior in good shape. It runs nearly perfectly. $2300 is a good price if it is mechanically sound and has no rust, the pictures are certainly nice.

Maybe their value is going back up cuz of how incredible they are. Then again that is an '83 DLX.

I'd put the value more around $1500, but I'm sure he'll find someone that'll pay what he's asking.

As for the PNW, best place in this country.

I went and looked at this vehicle on Friday. It is in good shape. Really clean and straight. There was a little bit of vibration at higher speeds, but it felt like tires out of balance. It had a hard start and I noticed fuel leaking from TVSV, probably related. The engine was strong and transmission is solid. Maybe a little overpriced, but those are also pretty low miles.
