Just picked up this little monster from a guy selling it down the street. 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 4x4. Has over 200k miles but only one owner and all service records. Drives strong and smooth. These things can last forever. Now I just need to find some sick die-cuts to slap all over it!Click for larger image

for that price you cant go wrong! it looks to be in pretty good shape from the pic too.  200k for an 83 really doesnt seem like that many miles for how old it is... plus the 4x4 ide say you are set!

Damn! thats an awesome deal!

I almost bought an '86? Jetta for $500 that I was going to cut the top off and make it into a convertible but then the seller (my friend's dad) got word of what I was going to do with it and wouldn't sell it to me.

Ahhh to be 16 again...

Sweet deal.  My first car was a Civic Del Sol with a busted clutch that I got for free.
