For Sale: 1981 Toyota Tercel 2-door sedan   $1100 / best offer.

I recently bought a new Camry and am selling my Tercel that I purchased
new from the Ft. Collins Toyota dealership in 1981.  If you're looking
for a one-owner economy car that has had practically all the parts that
wear out over time replaced, consider this one.  I know the price seems
a little high, but remember that almost all of the $100 to $300 repair
jobs needed on similar older cars have already been done.

Specs:

  * 105K miles (many highway)

  * 2-door, 1.9l 4-cylinder, 5 speed manual transmission, 32mpg avg.

  * Alpine AM/FM/Casette, BostonAccoustic speakers.

  * License plates are $22/year.


What's been replaced within the past couple of years:

  * Starter, Alternator, Head and many running lights, dash lights.

  * Spark and coil wires, Distributor cap and rotor, timing belt and gears.

  * Exhaust system including muffler and all pipes and hangers.

  * Water pump, heater and radiator hoses, completely rebuilt radiator,
    thermostat, radiator cap, fuel filters, fuel pump, fanbelts.

  * Clutch disk, pressure plate, throwout bearing, cable.

  * Sears DieHard battery, Toyo all-season 40K tires (10K wear).

  * January 1995 Emissions test sticker.


Accessories included:

  * Ski rack, cable chains for radial tires.


Maintenance:

  * It has had regular maintenance, including the 15K, 30K, 60K, & 90K
    tuneups done by the Toyota service center.  For parts that wear out
    over time, I used genuine Toyota parts when available.

  * I have always used Toyota brand air and oil filters when changing oil
    (3000 to 4000 miles).  The engine does not burn oil -- I am never more
    than 1/2 quart low after 3000 miles.  (However, the rubber valve seals
    do let a tiny bit of oil into the cylinder when it's been hot and the
    car is left overnight.  Toyota Service Center said this is typical and
    not worth changing.) 

  * I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car across the US if necessary, since
    it's been practically rebuilt.  


Negatives:

  * The worst thing -- it isn't a bright, shiny color.  I tried some of
    that new "miracle 2000" silicone wax and it just smeared all over.  I
    think a good paste wax will fix it up.  Alternatively, Maaco probably
    will have one of their half-price Supreme Paint jobs for $200 in the
    near future that would make this baby shine like new again.


Anyway, if this sounds like what you're looking for, let me know and I can
arrange to show it to you after the first of the year.  Please feel free to
email or telephone.  My office is at my home, so any time between 9:00 am
and 11:00 pm is fine.  Leave a message on the machine if I'm not in.
