My - even "parts car" T4WDs are worth $650?
It would seem he's never heard of caveat emptor, which is paramount for a used car. But, he expresses himself well...

Tercels do not have A-arms, so I wonder what he was really told.

Dunno, just found it on Craigs and hoped someone could salvage it. My wife and I are on the hunt for our SR5 dream car, so I'm keeping an eye out for anything interesting.toughtercel wrote:Hi "RustyRobotOil" , the car your friend bought from , does it happen to have a hole in the front driver fender , car came from Custer,WA which is north of Bellingham ,paint the whole engine BLACK and his name is Brad , Just wondering because more than two year ago I gave him $40 deposit toward the car and ran off, ha ha , lucky I didn't bought it cause the tranny went , I heard from his friend to friends.

Re: Complete 84'
I ended up buying this car. I paid $500. A little steep I think, considering I also paid $100 for a one-way trailer dolly rental, not to mention fuel from Portland to Bremerton and back. The car was filthy, but the interior has cleaned up surprisingly well. The plastic has been well preserved and the vynyl seats have zero rips or tears! This is great for me, the interior in my SR5 is pretty sun beaten. I only wish this was the SR5 interior package. I was really after the engine and tranny. The odometer reads 149,000 but the speedo cable is broken, so I had to take the seller's word that it had "just broken" ...of course. The engine does seem to run strong, but I haven't put the compression gauge on yet. The frame is what is cracked. Major cracking just above wear the passenger control arm mounts. The whole car begins to shake violently if accelerated hard, or driven over 30 mph. Appears the cracks developed from frame damage due to front-end collision that had been patched up years ago. Now I need to gear up for an engine/tranny swap.
