'87 4wd Tercel Everett, WA

Post by Dumpo Lina »

Some of you guys saw this car on craigslist in April when I bought it.
I have not been able to give it the attention it deserves, so I gotta move it along.
Before I dump it on Craigslist, I'd rather see someone with a true interest end up with it.

Its an 87 5sp (well, 6 I guess)
155+/-
It sat for about two months. In getting it started, the idle is super high.
I don't have time to deal with it.
Its not a perfect car, its seen some neglect from the previous owner and has some odd body damage on the cowl.
The interior is not moldy, but it does need a good cleaning
It is a pretty good runner, when the idle doesn't peg. I've driven it all over puget sound area, seattle to bellingham.
I just got new tabs for it

Come have a look
Im asking $700, need it gone
call or text is best 425-314-1501

Thanks

What kind of condition is the underside of the body in? Is there much rust or any holes in the rocker panels?

If the underside of this car is in good shape, little or no rust, I am interested in it.

I don't have a whole lot if time or resources to put into this.
If you have someone local that can check it out they're welcome to.
It's gotta go, though, so whoever shows up willing and able will get it

I live in Everett, Wa too. I am sure this car is very close to me. I know these Tercs pretty dang well so I am sure that I could make a very good assessment of the vehicle for you.

Car seems to be in pretty dang good shape. Wish there were more pics.

I would be happy if you could see it Turtcel. I am looking for a good underbody (no holes, minimal rust) because it has to pass inspection when I import the car. I am not worried about cosmetics and any mechanical issue I can repair once I get home. I don't want anything as rusty as what I come across here.

If my workload eases this week I'll grab some pics.
I seriously have no time... If I did I'd fix the carb.
Anyone that wants to come see it is welcome to... Car is where I work and live

Thanks

If you are in a panic to sell the car feel free to show it to someone else. I would have to make arrangements to get to Washington which is why I would like more pictures before I do that.
