Re: 87 tercel sr5
where are you located? that looks like DLX trim, not SR5.

Re: 87 tercel sr5
How many miles are on it? If the head gasket is blown, is the radiator also shot? That is the typical condition, radiator goes bad and it overheats, then the head gasket goes. So there may be more to replace than just a head gasket.
How old is the clutch? Condition of the tires? How long as it been since it was regularly driven.
That is clearly not an SR5 but the DLX trim.
That price is on the high side for a Tercel that needs major engine work, so unless the rest of it is in excellent shape it is difficult to say if this is worth buying. You need to supply more information, radiator, clutch, tires, possibly battery are all major expenses on top of requiring a new head gasket.

Re: 87 tercel sr5
I've been talking to Ken, the owner, about this wagon (located in Pendleton, OR).
Here's what I have learned that is not listed in the ad:
Approx. 187k miles
Title is in PO name, but has not been completed, so the DMV transaction should be straightforward
Runs, but very rough
You guys bring up good points about the clutch, radiator, etc. These things may influence the final price.
I thought long and hard about buying this one, but logistically it would be difficult for me because I don't feel confident enough in my abilities to pull up, repair and drive off with the vehicle in < 1 day. This could be a great project for other members on the forum, so I encouraged Ken to post his car here.

Re: 87 tercel sr5
i love the colour and really prefer how the DLX models door window frames are not painted with that heinous black sh*t that the SR5's have. looks sharper and you don't have to worry about that crap flaking off in some places and being hard as cement in others. i'd take a DLX and put in the SR5 seats and dash cluster.
