The Tercel has 83k miles on it now and it's never given any trouble. I
bought it in Jan. from a cop that only drove it when he wasn't driving his
squad car. Except a tear in the vinyl (left side of the drivers seat,
like they always do), it's in immaculate condition. As immaculate as a
tercel can be atleast.
