This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

'83 T4wd SR5 great price at $500 (even runs!)

Looks like a good deal, this is not far from where I work, if anyone wants to go see it will be happy to go with you. needs some clean up, appears to have inclinometer. He had his other one for sale as well (you can see in the back of one of the pictures in the ad), and had listed both in a previous ad. Someone should save this car, worth way more than a parts car.

Here's a 1983 4wd wagon She's a little rough,and needs to be cleaned up hence the price. Its does run but needs a battery and a stater. You have to tap on the starter every so often to get it running. typical problem and easy to fix with a new starter. I can run it so you may here the engine. Everything works including the 4wd and all the transmission gears .It does need tabs but We can also test drive it if you like. I bought it from a kid in Rochester WA. And drove it home from there. It has good power but it does smoke a bit at idle. The engine is not orginal. I intended for it to be a parts car as I have 2 but it was in too good of shape.its been sitting a couple of years so i threw a set of plugs in it and some fresh gas and drove it around a little. so its ready to roll , A Good deal for 500.00 Thanks for looking!!!

he tried to sell it as a parts car along with a blue one (different year), as a pair. I cross posted the ad here. I happened to drive by his place a week ago and saw them in person. I almost stopped to get a closer look, but decided I better pass them up or I might end up bringing two more Tercels home and have some 'spalaining to do to a not very understanding wife.
