1982 Toyota Tercel Std 2 door coupe with 5 speed manual. My wife has grown increasingly jealous of the gaggle of female admirers that I regularly attract with this, the very apex of early 1980's Japanese econobox engineering, thus I am forced to part with my dream car. All original, comes with factory A/C and factory optional tape cassette player. For a 31 year-old Tercel with high miles, it is in excellent condition. Dash has the cracks one would expect of a car this age, but they are all hairline cracks. Front seats have seat covers but are pretty torn up. Back seat and carpet are in good condition. Anyone familiar with these 1st generation Tercels knows that they are a lot of fun and are extremely reliable.


The Good:
  • All original--factory A/C, factory radio and optional tape cassette player
  • Good compression, runs well
  • Spent the first 28 years of its life in California, so no rust--body is solid
  • 5 speed manual
The Bad:
  • Paint chips and dings inherent in a 31 year daily driver
  • Heater never gets above lukewarm. I've replaced the thermostat, but that doesn't seem to fix the issue (heater core perhaps?)
  • Difficult to engage 1st gear unless completely stopped and engine down to idle speed
  • One of the springs on the trunk lid is broken, which means that when you open the trunk, it will not stay open on its own
  • The driver side mirror (the only one it came with from the factory) is not stock and is more cosmetic than functional--I just haven't gotten around to replacing it with a good one

Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.

Toyota and Mazda set to expand partnership

Mon, May 11 2015

Toyota and Mazda are already teaming up for the Scion iA and Mazda2, but that partnership might just be the beginning. Reuters reports the two Japanese companies could expand their work together, with Toyota chipping in its experience with both fuel cells and plug-in-hybrid tech, and Mazda contributing its know-how in regards to its Skyactiv line of engines. The report cites a pair of unnamed sources that are "not authorized to discuss the matter publicly." The move, on the surface, is certainly appealing for both parties. Mazda has very little experience with hybrids (remember the Ford-rebadged Tribute Hybrid?), let alone something as advanced as a fuel-cell vehicle. Teaming with Toyota, arguably the world's greatest hybrid manufacturer, would give it a serious leg up. For the Japanese giant, meanwhile, a partnership with Mazda could expand the economy of scale for the Mirai FCV's tech, while Skyactiv engines would do well in replacing the base engines in cars like the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4. What are your thoughts? Would an expanded partnership between Toyota and Mazda make sense? Can you think of any drawbacks? Have your say in Comments.

Toyota recalling 615k Sienna models over rollaway risk

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Toyota has announced a recall affecting approximately 615,000 Sienna minivans due to a possible rollaway risk. All of the vehicles in question are from the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008 and 2009 model years.
In an official statement, the automaker states that the problem stems from the vehicle's shift lever assembly. "Because of the potential for damage to the shift lock solenoid installed in involved vehicles, there is a possibility that the shift lever could be moved out of the 'P' position without the driver depressing the brake pedal," Toyota said. Because of this fault, the affected Sienna models could roll away without warning, increasing the risk for a crash.
Owners will be notified via first class mail, and the affected Sienna models can be taken to Toyota dealerships to have the shift lock solenoid replaced with a new one. Have a look below for the automaker's official release.
