1987 Tercel SR5- Great Falls, MT. $600!!!

Post by triggins »

I am looking to sell my '87 Tercel wagon. I live in Great Falls, MT. It's in decent shape, runs and has been a faithful companion. We are moving out of state and hope to leave this badboy behind. I can send more pictures and information. We hope to have it sold by Mid-July 2014. Come and check it out!!!

Just reduced price to $600. We are moving and hope to sell this quickly!

It is in need of some work-- really struggled to get up to 65 on the highway the other day. If you're coming from out of town, I would certainly plan on fixing it here before heading home or towing it back...

New alternator
Tires new in 2012
Brakes done in 2011
Exhaust/muffler new last year

looks great, tell us more. miles, condition, any rust? more shots of the body and of the inside would be nice. condtion of the driver's seat? how old is the clutch and tires?

I know someone that is looking around here, I would not mind coming out to get it from you if it is currently road worthy. What would it take to make it road worthy to travel across several states?

Here is the Craigslist ad with more info: http://greatfalls.craigslist.org/cto/4534874174.html

Miles: The odometer is NOT ACCURATE. It reads 175,685 but is probably closer to 250,000(previous owners replaced the gauges with a panel from a different Tercel).
Condition: I'd say fair. It's gotten me around town for a few years.
A little rust, and some dents and dings. (see CL ad for pictures)
Driver's seat has a hole in the middle down to the foam.
Clutch: I've had it 4 years and not replaced it so I'm not sure how old it is.
Tires: New three years ago- Not many miles put on them. Just in-town car.

I think with a tune-up it'd be ready for a multi-state trip. It seems like maybe the carb. needs cleaned or air filter. It's not got the pep it once had. I've driven it through the canyon down to helena(85 miles) and it worked out okay.

Let me know if you'd like to have a look or come out. We are moving mid-late July, so the sooner the better!

So I took it out on the highway yesterday and it struggled more than I remember (we've used it mostly for in-town stuff). Hard to get it up above 65 and it really slowed down trying to go up hills. That being said, I'm reducing the price to $1000. I think that someone who was handy with tercels could easily get it back up to full strength again, I just don't have the time or knowhow. Hopefully the right person is looking for a sweet car that needs a little tinkering...

I would consider it but because of some family commitments I could not get it until first week in August. Good luck on the sale, if you still have it I can bring you cash and drive it home. I would need to fly into great falls and have you pick me up at the airport.

Just reduced price to $600. A great deal for someone who can use it for parts or is mechanically inclined...
