Can't Find a car!!

This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

Can't Find a car!!

Post by a_korbel »

So I'm living in Walla Walla, WA, smack in the middle of the Washington desert. I've been searching for a Tercel 4wd wagon for about 6 months now, so far I've found 6 total in this state. No one seems to want to get rid of the little buggers, even the broken ones. The few that are available are way above what I'd call "reasonably priced." Unfortunately time is against me, I run a business in Walla that requires my attention almost all day every day, making it impossible to tinker with the car or even drive more than 30-40 miles to pick up the vehicle. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

If it were me, I'd be heading your way....

If you have NO time as you say, I would stay away from 25 year old cars.

There are some pristine low mileage ones in hiding that pop up now and then. You will likely spend all your free time on this search. Not to mention money. Those really nice ones typically go for 3-4k.

Sorry if I seem negative.

On the bright side you are way west of the rust belt.
