'88 SR5 Craigslist IL Near STL

The two photos make it look clean - horrible add-on wheels with way wrong offset.
Kinda pricey at $3000. It has AC, OE roof rack, and what looks like a pop-top sunroof.
When the seller states "Metro East," he just means in the part of Illinois just East of St. Louis, which could be 30 or so miles in either direction from the Mississippi River.

hmmmm. those headlights are from a pre-'87, and that grill looks like it's from a 2wd. either it's not an '88 or it's had substantial front end damage which required replacing the grill, lights, and bezels. and

"but as for a great car it is a very very good car."

is a funny statement. almost as funny as those wheels.

however, the body looks really nice.

that is definitely a 4wd, and it is likely a '87 or '88 because of the trim details. it appears the grill and head lights were changed. anyone buying it should inspect for hidden front end damage. It many have only been a minor accident that damaged the grill and not harm anything else, but more than one list member had bought repaired Tercel4wd with badly bent frames.

I have a feeling it may be this same car: https://tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6083

Great memory, Carlos! I should have known, as it is in IL - and - I looked at in back in 2009 and reported on it here!

As I said at the time, had I a garage, Goldie would have had a younger sister.
I actually called the seller yesterday and left a message, but received no call back.
