new car and new member
I got this Tercel wagon for $500. Only 109,500 miles and very well maintained. Timing belt was change at 87,xxx miles. All new tires and amazing interior. I'm working on restoring it. Has some small rust spots but i feel like a got a pretty good deal. It rides like its brand new and i can see a lot of potential in it.

Re: new car and new member
welcome to the forum. those front seats are filthy, what did the previous owners wear to do that to them in so few miles? oh well, it's a bit of work but you can remove the seat covers and put them in a clothes washer. with lots of stain remove and a bunch of hot, gentle washes, they should come out ok. here's a thread on some that i went to town on cleaning.

welcome to the forum!
that is a great buy on the Tercel! the transmission alone is worth that much. looks like some body work to fix, but even so, well worth saving it. Looks like a 1986 model year. where are you at? Looks like Kentucky plates on the car, but hard to see in the pic.
