You are looking at a very rare car. Toyota only made this all wheel dive vehicle for about 5 years. It treated me very well for the many years I drove it but it has sat idle for a few years and need to make room in my driveway (and I had plans to restore it) She was running fine when I was driving it, except towards the end when going over mountain passes (it would decelerate badly for some reason). There are many new parts I put in this rig. Including a new clutch! I estimate there's at least $3,000-$5,000 new parts I put into this while I owned it. Anyways, I hope this post finds someone who appreciates this rad rig and will hopefully restore her. Serious offers only. No trades. Cheers.
It has a manual transmission (which I want to learn to drive) and 218K miles. I feel like everyone is going to call me dumb for spending $2K on this but the thing is…I already love it. And I’d rather pay extra for something I really fucking like, than save on something I’m not particularly excited about. Even after 6-7 years of being homeless I’m picky like this, and I feel like it’s worked for me. I’ll actually go spend money on clothes that fit me and are actually my style, which helps my self-esteem just a bit, etc.
unless you're ready to spend hours of your day doing research online scraping ancient fourm posts so solve "weird issue the car is having #1356" and then spending the rest of the day using your garage full of tools that you definitely have to fix said issue, dont buy a car as old and run-down as that one.
I own a 199x honda integra with 25x,xxx miles on it, its a phenomenal car and runs fantastic, but god damn if it sometimes doesnt throw the strangest issues at me. many of which stemming simply from the fact its over 25 years old and parts age and degrade.
like i tell all my non-car-person friends, dont get a project car unless you want to be poor forever
basially, unless you know what you're getting into, and are ready to become a car-person, dont.
