Buying the 1982 Toyota Tercel
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1982 Toyota Tercel for sale by us right now. Here is the 1982 Toyota Tercel for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Tercel
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet

Space, size and seats
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Try before you buy
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Tercel for a week and see how it fits your life.

What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
