Has anyone else written the ad to sell their car, looked at the nice pictures they took, and immediately thought “I want that!” before remembering, oh right, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ?

NP. I’d buy it if I didn’t live on the other side of the country.

interstate366 appears to endorse raising my asking price. Noted.

Kinja’d! Or maybe I’m just incompetent. Probably the latter. Fixed now, hopefully.

Sad day for the Oppo Cruiser Club.

Total NP though, looks solid as a rock and skanky ones are getting to be around $5k now.

I’ve got a drill and some lumber. We’ll make one! Then add light bars. Light bars everywhere!

What do I do with the Tercel... can’t keep both.

I’ll sell the Yakima towers with it but want to keep the crossbars and basket...

They are not in the same dimension in terms of fuel economy or plaidness, to be fair.

How bad is your fuel economy

Good point. Can’t sell the longbed just cuz. Guess you got 5 cars now.

wish mine had cloth seats, them just seem to wear SO much better.

Consider eBay as well. I’ve seen 80s going for crazy money on there lately.

About 11-12 city, 14-15 highway...better than the EPA ratings!

Soon. I’ve been stalking these on CL for a while now, but can’t pull the trigger until after we move. Looking to build an overland rig to take the fam out into the wilderness.

And leave them there.

$4500-5000 seems reasonable. People will probably complain about the 3FE and lack of diff lockers, but it’s every bit as capable as any 80 series. Some really go for the cloth seats, plus no port-installed roof perforations.

Sent it to my buddy who has been looking for one!

The a/c probably just needs a charge.

Ha. I’m very much not that guy: bought a winter truck with no A/C, drove a winter truck with no A/C, selling a winter truck with no A/C. Never looked into it because why would I need A/C on a winter truck? No idea what it needs but it could well be more than refrigerant and a belt.

To be fair, it photographed surprisingly well. I’ll just be firm about the price.

Got a couple of emails. First one was within half an hour of posting the ad and was ready to look at it same day if I hadn’t been stuck at work. I’m optimistic.

One of my buddys caught a fj40 posted within an hour the next town over, owner got it from his grampa, it lived in the garage since 1985, was used as a snowplow back in the day; $2500 obo- they jumped in the truck an pulled a car trailer up there. Turns out it’s cherry, unmodified, and baby blue..

Oh, exactly. I loved that bit from DeMuro, though, because it’s so often what people say when the a/c doesn’t work. You simply stated, “it doesn’t work, it was a winter vehicle for me,” etc. which is perfect. Your ad is one of the most honest I’ve ever read, and if that vehicle were a lot closer to me I’d be tempted for that price. Oh wait, if it was in New England it would be $8k or it would be rusty. But I digress...
