I recently saw a 1987 Tercel all trac tor sale it is in very good shape both inside and out. It has approx 160,00 miles on it. The guy wants $3000.00 for it.
Can I get input on what these are worth and how many miles it has left, is the all trac with a auto transmisson good or has it had problems
thanks in advance

Hard to say without seeing the car - by "all trac", do you mean this is a sedan, not a wagon? I'm a manual transmission fan and usually stick-shift vehicles command a few extra bucks versus the automatics in these cars. If it's rust free, clean and has 160,000 miles, I'd say it might be worth it. I paid $2500 CDN for mine with 160,000 KMS. It's an SR5 with the manual trans. and is in excellent shape (though some rust is starting to come through around the wheel wells now).
If it's been looked after, a Tercel can rack up some impressive mileage numbers.
If you have any more details on the car, let us know.

I would pass on it, unless you are in an area where cars rust out badly. The price is not insane, but assuming the car is in great shape and practically rust-free, it would be an average price. The 3-speed auto is not that bad as far as automatics go, but the manual is so much better and in this case has twice as many gears.
