She looks lovely. Don't see an SR5 tag on it so maybe it's DLX? I'm still learning...
Everything works great. All lights, locks and gauges work great. Even the rare tilt gauges. New tires and new brakes. Dead stock apart from 15" wheels and old (but working) cassette stereo. Clean title and good tags.

Do you think the price is fair as long as everything else is in good condition? No rust or major mechanical needs.

for a mint or near mint terc, i think that's a fair price. i would be very thorough in my assessment before paying that much (lots of test driving it, check compression, crawl around underneath it looking for rust and leaks, etc) and make an offer but i think $2900 is a reasonable price for a really nice one.

If you look closely at the right corner (passenger side) you can see there's damage there, I guess that's why that side wasn't pictured clearly and there's also a dent on the hood. It's hard to tell, but there may also be some damage to that right side of the bumper as well.

It does have damage on the front. Interesting that all the pics don't quite show it.

I like the red ones, not easy to find for sure, but this one is over priced IMHO. $1800 or so would be a "good deal"

Oh yeah! I see it now. Good looking out guys. It does seem a bit overpriced and I dont even know the mileage yet. I'm going to call today and find out. Maybe I can get the price down if no one's bitten at the higher asking price.
