no time or room for anther project. It is an auto trans car, there is not much of a market for auto T4wd. If it was a 5 speed, I might be able to find a place to stash it until I can get it running. But not for an automatic. I tried selling a clean one once, no interest. I gave it away to my daughter since she needed a car.

Hey we bought one from you!

[Petros]

Well paul, you were not your "normal" buyer either. Most people would not fly halfway across the country to buy a 30 year old econo-box. I did not have any locals interested in that one, nor in the second one that was given to me. Yet, each time I put a 5 speed manual 4wd one up for sale, at fairly high prices, I get dozens of local responses the first day, and almost always have it sold by the next day, at full price for cash. That never happened with either of the auto-trans versions. So someone else can take on the auto trans Tercels, not interested.

Are you saying it was a bad thing we flew out?

[Petros]

No Paul, just that few would do it. You my friend, are one of a kind...or at least you are like the other rare birds that frequent this forum!
