- I'm a big fan of a well executed disposable car, and that's exactly what the end run Toyota Tercel was. NONE of these are left in good condition as they were all run deeply into the ground. Here is one very clean one owner example with under 100k miles on it. Let's check out this time capsule and enjoy economy from yesteryear!

bro the engines on these cars are damn near bulletproof, went on a road trip with mine while it was mixing gas and engine oil (stuck open injectors) and with the pcv valve clogged as well (it had a hellish amount of sludge cuz the previous owner didnt do maintenance) and with lots of tools in the back (easily 150 lbs plus my family bruh so like 300 more pounds) at full throttle for like 3 hours and made it back with NO PROBLEMS hahaha
I have a 1996 MT Tercel. It currently has 267,000 miles on it. The only thing mechanically wrong with it is the AC and heater. It is the super basic version, as it has no defroster, no clock, no rear speakers. I do have a tape deck. These cars were inexpensive, but not cheaply made. It is slow and basic, but it is the best car I've ever had.
Is yours 4speed or 5 speed?

4. I think the 5 speeds were only 97-98
@@Raggedyman72 oh ok, it’s cause my folks friend had one lying in the back yard and i went to check it out. It was a 96 also manual but I hella forgot to check if it was 4 spd or 5 spd
I just crashed my 93 back in December it was so good of a car, I just went 400 miles to Michigan to get a 94 tercel and it needs work compared to my 93
This is in was my favorite car I got thsi car when I was in high school and now my nephew got it is still looks and runs like new
I would love to drive something of a modern version of this perfect for my use.
Good car very hard
14 inch tires are cheap if you can get them. I have 13s on my 93 civic and they're a special order everywhere in my area if they're even available at all. I looked into the possibility of swiping some 14s or 15s off a 6/7 gen Civic or older Fit/Insight from a junkyard but it looks like I'll be able to make due with 13s for now.
Wicked cool car, but the automatic is a definite nope for me. 3 gears are NOT enough for me. Nice that it locks the torque converter though. The 4 speed in the 1st gen Tacoma with the 2.4 engine all the way up to 2004 had no lockup clutch! Insanity.
Walmart almost always has mine and easy to get em for 40-50
disposable ? one should be so lucky
Good car very hard
