Check out my new Toyota!
This is my second one of these! My other one had 330k miles before I donated it (I needed a bigger car at the time). It still ran like a champ though.
Anyway this is a 1984 Tercel 4WD wagon. It is virtually rust free because it's been in Texas all it's life.
You'd be hard pressed to get this thing stuck. I love this thing in the snow, that's why I got it. It serves as my winter car while my 4runner is stored in my garage.
I love the 6 speed gearbox. It has a "EL" gear which stands for Extra Low. Basically a creeper gear for when you really get stuck.

Bought it from a wholesaler down in San Antonio for $1000 bucks. I was actually thinking of re-selling for more but changed my mind. I know I could double my money being how clean it is.
They are fun to drive especially in the snow. I love the looks of SUV owners faces as I pull away from them from a light.
They actually make a front bumper with lights for these, I just need to find out who sells them. I saw them years ago when I had my other one. I did just buy some PIAA 510's so I might mount them on the bumper.
I've driven those, they are strangely fun.

Cool, awesome find. Last time I saw a vehicle with a "granny" gear was a 1986 Chevy p/u with a plow attachment, had a three speed with a "G" where "1" would normally be.
Does this one have the factory clinometer installed?

I rented one of those years ago when I went skiing out in Colorado. I still remember cruising the streets of Frisco in that thing. It did go great in the snow...

I am suprised no one here has offered big bucks for his inclinometer. I don't know if this car has one, but many of the ones you see around come from these tercels.

The inclinometers only come in the SR5 models. This is a picture of one I almost bought. Unfortunately it sold before I got to it. :cry:
Look at the seats on the SR5 model! They have these crazy handles on the side of them...cool!

Now thats what I call a sweet deal! Looks pretty clean inside and out. Try to get some RTI pics, see what the Tercel is capable of, there's got to be reason why the inclinometer's installed.
