eBay, craigslist, and usedanywhere search terms & links

It has been recommended by members to just use the single word "tercel" when searching, but if there are too many listings to sift through, then these other search terms might be helpful:

eBay:

Code: Select all

All Tercels:
(tercel,"toyota wagon")

Only Tercel wagons:
(tercel,"toyota wagon") (wagon,4wd,4x4,"4 wheel","four wheel")

Only Tercel 4wd wagons:
(tercel,"toyota wagon") (4wd,4x4,"4 wheel","four wheel")
http://www.ebay.com

craigslist:

Code: Select all

All Tercels:
tercel | "toyota wagon"

Only Tercel wagons:
(tercel | "toyota wagon") (wagon,4wd,4x4,"four wheel")

Only Tercel 4wd wagons:
(tercel | "toyota wagon") (4wd,4x4,"four wheel")
http://craigslist.org

usedeverywhere:

Code: Select all

All Tercels:
tercel

Only Tercel wagons:
tercel & (wagon|4wd|4x4)

Only Tercel 4wd wagons:

I just search all Tercels in Craig's list and actually look at the ads with the correct year Tercels. for some reason many people that own these cars never put they are 4wd in the title, and occasionally not even in the texts. I guess some think that is the way these cars always came.
'87 Tercel 4wd SR5 (current engine swap project)
'84 Tercel 4wd (daily driver, with on going mods)
'92 Mazda MPV 4wd (wife's daily driver)
'85 Tercel 4wd DLX auto(daughter's daily driver)
'01 Honda Civic (other daughter's daily driver)

You'll definitely won't miss anything by only searching 'Tercel'! I will add that to the suggestions above.

I would second just using the word "Tercel" (even in lower case) in any Search - even eBay. There are just not that many for sale in any Gen; heck, it's not like punching in "mustang" and getting hundreds of options - let alone "civic" or "camry."

Roger that. That's two votes for just "tercel", so I have put that at the the top of the posting.

On Craigslist is easy , but E-Bay is a nightmare ,you type "tercel " there are few thousand adds but "tercel wagon" not bad idea , sometime I type "tercel 4WD or SR5 " but look for engine part , type "toyota 3A or 3ac " then select "Auction "

On Craigslist I use either "tercel 4x4" or "tercel 4wd"...usually comes up with some different postings.
