Hi, here's my 1985 Tercel SR5 wagon, it's in amazing condition, I think, It's my first car, and I've been learning how to drive a stick shift with it. (I think I'm pretty good now, no more stalls or lurches

)

It seems to be in original condition, no modifications at all, I might do something later on down the road, but nothing right now.

That is amazing! How many miles? Are you sure it's 20 years old? It looks much newer than that.

Yes that is indeed very good. Take care of it. You have one of the nicest on the board, if not the nicest.

It has about 146,000 miles on it, it has a couple paint chips, and one of the previous owners was a smoker so there's a smoke smell, but besides that, everything seems fine. My dad and I were suprised at it's condition, I've seen much newer cars in much worse condition, so I think it's a great find.

Wow! And on top of that the interior is clean! We could use pics of a car like yours to put on the main page. Excellent. That reminds me of the 85 SR5 Tercel that I had the opportunity to buy. I've been suffering ever since. In addition, it had 110K, but had a blown engine. The interior wasn't as nice as this one, but the other one had pretty good paint. Oh well. I didn't have $300 at the moment.
