    I bought a 99 Tercel slushbox as a second car for the wife. Had about 140,000 miles on the odometer. She drove that little guy for 6 years and I gave it to my niece, so she could attend university. She drove it for another 21/2 years and racked up many miles. She graduated and got a new car so sold the Tercel to another student. It is still running. They were the greatest basic transportation car ever built. You couldn't kill it and it started every time regardless of the weather! The body was pristine even with all our road salt here in the Toronto area. A fantastic vehicle!!!

      Был такой автомобиль, 97 года.
      Простой, надëжный, никаких проблем.
      Я продал её, и она до сих пор на ходу!

    I found one just like this for $900 but it's automatic. 190k miles. Super clean. 1 owner who says they kept it serviced at Toyota dealerships. Everything works. AC, heat, radio.
    I'm buying it this weekend.
    This will be my gas saver.

    At the end of last summer i scored a '99 tercel for $900 off some kid going to work in the oil fields one province over. Had 245,050 kms on it, now it has about 252,300, and i'm gonna cling to it for as long as it runs. No reason to go buy a car now, the used ones are getting too pricey and gas prices aren't gonna come down. A 90's toyota is going to be worth it's weight in gold as the decade passes.

      5 speed manual is the best version I owned two with four-speed I always bet if you had that fifth gear you can get killer gas mileage. I could get 47 MPG on Long stretches of Highway

    my dad's still got his. When our "flash" cars break down we always have to borrow his "Corsa" , as it's know over here. it's the most reliable car we've ever owned.

    I got a 95 STD super good car. Only paid 350, runs and handles like a champ, wasn’t built with power steering. Thankful for that kinda because that’s another thing that can easily disrupt the reliability.

    90s-00s Japanese cars, specifically Toyotas, are exceptional vehicles. Never should have sold my ‘97 Corolla. Now I’m after another Corolla, Tercel, or even an Echo.

      See more minds gotta think like this I bet if you had all those cars it would last a combined 30+ years those things run forever if maintained decently at Toyota I remember seeing only one time a 66,000 mile echo everyone on the lot wanted it😂👌

      @@vsmiata2177 100%. But people get caught up in wanting to be “fancy”, their vehicle needs to reflect a certain status. I can’t blame them since late model vehicles certainly do offer some cool amenities, but it’s generally not my cup of tea. I’m at a point where my daily driver paints a very frugal and/or utilitarian picture. I can’t stand vehicles that are A. hard to work on B. expensive to fix, and C. over engineered.

    Yes. I have here in North san diego a 1995 1.5 5E-FE Manual Transmission, Manual steering, manual windows.
    456.000 miles motor and transmission never opened. One clutch.
    Original Alternator and Starter and AC Compressor!!!!
    Built quality was not only superior to american junk but it was better then honda's single camshaft 1.5.
    Made in Japan is the main reason why that car lasted so long.
