One bid currently at $2000, with 6 days to go. Clarkston is a suburb of Atlanta.
Looks pretty clean and only 128K miles.
Seller or bidder members?

in pretty nice shape. too bad about the rust by the filler door. the seats need a wash but that's no big deal.

It's still at $2K with but 14 hours to go. A steal at that price, esp. with only 128K miles!
Cargo cover, inclinometer, and (apparently) working AC.
If it were closer, I'd sure be tempted.

I'm thinking, "Drove around for a couple of years with no gas cap."

I also wish it was closer.

I don't know about that.
Many of us have stains from PO's letting the fuel overflow. Mine was pretty bad when I got Goldie, although no rust. I was able to get 75% of the stain out with cleaner and fine rubbing compound, but it's still there.
I did fab a "trough" some years ago; see https://tercel4wd.com/forums/viewtopic.php? ... ner#p20852

I stand corrected. This brings back memories of one of my Tercs and when the automatic nozzle clicked off once, it was full. You try to pull it again and it spills. Every other vehicle I've had usually you can get at least three more clicks before it is full to the top.

That's a nice rendition of a miniature slip n'slide in your other thread by the way. I'm just picturing fitting the euro gas filler release (inside the cab), and spring loading the hinge (open), and painting the word, "BANG!" on the liner.

...if anyone even gets what I'm talking about.

Plugged canister purge causes that staining too.

totally get it. very down.

It went for $2260, which I thought was kinda low for one with only 128K miles.
Anyone here buy it?

My sedan also had rust all around the fuel door!

I tried, but I was on my way to Gainesville and couldn't be on the computer. The winning bidder must have out-bid me in the last minute. I was pretty bummed the rest of that day.
