Before There Was All-Trac, This Was Toyota's 4WD Wagon

Toyota sold an Americanized version of the Sprinter Carib (badged as a Tercel) for the 1983 through 1988 model years.

You could get a front-wheel-drive version as well as an automatic transmission, but nearly all the Tercel wagons sold here were 4WD cars with five-speed manuals.

189,438 miles would be pretty good for just about any (non-Mercedes-Benz) car built in 1987, but Tercel 4WD owners tended to keep their cars going long past that point.

Air conditioning was available in these cars… as a $735 option. By 2021 standards, that would be like buying a $24,595 car and then paying $1,830 more for A/C.

You could equip your kitchen entirely with stuff found in the cars of a single big self-service junkyard.

That's not mold, it's headliner adhesive.

How much was this optional sunroof? 480 bucks, or about $1,195 in 2021 dollars.

If you have a 2WD Tercel wagon and you'd like to avoid chaining up on Donner Pass during snowstorms, simply obtain this badge and apply it to your car. Not that I've done that.
