How hard would it be to tow the other one home with this one?

I would say it would be a little too much for a Terc to tow Terc as far as you would need it to go. Especially with the snow and I believe it would have to use a tow bar. A lot of strain on engine and brakes in my opinion.

My question on this car is where is the clinometer? Thought it was an '84. Did that only come in the SR5 and not the DLX model?

Just a joke about towing one home...that sure sold fast!

I think the SR5 only came with the inclinometer.

Marlinh,

better watch yourself, you might become a Tercel horder. Too many good deals keep turning up, you just can not pass them up. Another one to add to stable, you can always clean it up and sell it later if you want...or just keep it as a spare.

Six tercels later and you are running out of room to keep them, and time to keep them all running. And it is painful to part with them.

Don't do it!

Good advice Petros, but I can't help myself. I think I need to start a 'Tercel Anonymous' support group. Anyone else out there with this affliction?

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem...

It all starts with one...I was introduced to these cars 12 or so years ago and haven't looked back since...

50% off at Pick and Pull. I would have needed a trailer to bring home all my goodies!!
