I have a 1986 Toyota Tercel SR5 4WD that runs. I drove it all last winter around Crested Butte and to and from Gunnison (30 min away). I also drove it down to Colorado Springs and up to Boulder last winter and had no trouble with it at all. I have a motorcycle so it sat all summer in one spot and was only started 2 times so it is not driving as well as it did in the spring. The body is in good condition for this age model and the interior is in very good condition for this year.
The car....190,000 miles. 4WD works better than 2WD. 1st gear in 2WD does not work but due to it being 4WD I started it in 4WD low (its a lower than 1st gear for 4WD conditions/Crested Butte all winter) and got it rolling, then shifted to neutral and then shifted it to 2WD and got rolling down the road. This worked great to drive it in 2WD if I needed to go on any dry pavement or long distance.
This is a good little car that needs some love and it could be a great little gas saving 4WD for the mountains and dessert. I am open to any offers or trades just be reasonable. The car does run and drive but I think it should be tuned up before you plan on driving it further than Gunnison. I am parting with it because I've been offered a truck for the winter. Thanks Jason...
