Hiya, I get calls about old Toyotas. Went to check this fella out today, can't afford it myself right now.
1982 Toyota Tercel
-4 speed manual
-3AC
-Corolla Seats (not for tall people!)
Car is in decent shape, big rust hole on the passenger rocker, but otherwise seems solid.
Bad Stuff
-CV boots are cracked on both sides
-Chugs a bit underload going up hill
-Bad rear wheel bearing
-Trans whines like it's low on fluid
-Clutch cable out of adjustment.
-Rear control arms not known to be replaced, and look a bit rusty (Common problem is these snap on first gen Tercels!)
Car puts around nice, but the Corolla seats are not tall person friendly at all.
I took some pics, inspected the entire car myself and took it for a romp around the block. Figured I'd post it up here for her.
Price: $750? I don't know, not mine.
