The Toyota Tercel: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the Toyota Tercel; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the Toyota Tercel, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Inside and out
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the Tercel answers more than any brochure. Rent the Tercel for a week and see how it fits your life. Try the Tercel on your commute, then decide.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Compare the years of the Tercel: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Questions about trying a car first? Ask in your request.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Toyota Tercel from us first.
Ask us about the Toyota Tercel
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Toyota Tercel for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Toyota Tercel
Does CarmaCars sell the Toyota Tercel?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Toyota Tercel before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
