83 for sale in flagstaff

[D Farms]

Hi I was looking at a craigslist ad the other day for an 83 4wd for sale in flagstaff az, it expired but i got the number for the seller. Unfortunately when i call the number it immediately ends the call, however the other day ot let me leave message. In the ad the seller explained that the previous owner had owned the car for about 10 years and the car is named mama. I was wondering if it was owned by someone on this forum at some point and if they could help me get in contact with the new owner who is trying to sell it. the car is black with the 6 speed and the interior is a bit rough.

Thanks,

David

welcome to the forum,

that does not sound like any I recall on this forum, but we have lots of members with better memory than mine. perhaps someone here could point you in the right direction.

Or perhaps find another Tercel4wd for you to buy. what are you looking for? what is your budget?

Well my budget is pretty low, in fact the only reason i was buying this one is because it had a broken timing belt and its an easy fix. probably less than $500 though. My daily driver is an 02 4runner with 275k miles and im averaging about 14mpg and its also an automatic. I saw the ad and have always been fond of the 4wd tercel because its suspension is similar to my truck. ive learned quite a bit from working on my truck so i figured i could get a fixer upper and make it work.

also heres the build thread for my truck just in case your interested.

The one with the "broken timing belt" called "mama" was on CL for *months* and they never returned my emails.

interesting, I believe that they may not have internet access. I posted a wanted ad for one so hopefully he replies to it.
