140 series repair costs 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be cdu on  Thu May 8 13:48 CST 2003 [RELATED]


I owned an 85 corolla gts (the rwd version). It was the
best car I ever owned. Wicked tail happy, though. They're
rare and starting to get valuable, probably because they
were driven hard and put away wet by their second or third
owners. Mine died a comprehensive and horrible death due
to neglect and abuse. Nothing in that car worked when I
was done with it (transmission crunched, exhaust was rusty,
motor smoked and barely ran, locks broken, carpet torn,
paint thrashed, etc). I expected it to be smooshed but I
saw it on the road a couple years later (when it's your first
car and you own it for 5 years, a fresh coat of paint and
seat-covers won't hide what it is); I was actually really
happy to see it still on the road.

I owned an 87 tercel after that. Wildly fun car to drive
and impossible to break from neglect but an iffy electrical
system.

I think my next car may be a manual transmission late model
cressida, if I can find one.

I like toyotas...
