I'm very tempted to buy this car:

If you buy it I'll give you my ae92 GT-S steering wheel
It's a 92 so it's fuel injected not carbed, and a nice colour for the ae95 wagon. And it's an SR5, alot of them aren't.

Those are so hard to find anywhere.

There are lots of them in BC Canada (north of WA USA), many of them are in excellent rust free condition too.

About 6 years ago, I found an 84 Tercel SR5 4wd wagon sitting in a carport outside of town. It was silver, perfect body, beautiful original paint, nice blue interior, good tires, 120k miles. The owner had parked it at a vacant house he owned, so it wasn't being driven. I called him monthly for close to a year about the car, and he kept telling me he'd give me first shot at it when he decided to sell, since I was the only person who'd expressed an interest in it. Finally he called me, just as I was about to walk out the door to buy another car. He said he'd been offered $1000 by a guy who'd been interested much longer than me, and he'd have to have $1200 to break the deal with him.

I let him keep it. I really can't stand being yanked around like that. I've regretted it since, it's the nicest original I've seen in over 10 years, with the exception of that 64k mile 84 DLX automatic 4x4 wagon, with gold paint. I hate gold.

Anyway, the real point of this is that last week I drove past the house, and there was a Corolla All-Trac wagon sitting in the carport. I wonder what the story is on it.

Haha! Yeah, I've got a couple storys like that too. Cars I really regret not buying. It might be a good thing that this Alltrac is located an expensive ferry ride away from me (I live on an Island)...then I don't need to be even more tempted by it.
