1984 Toyota Tercel review from North America
"This car is FANTASTIC, I will be loyal forever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump at 600,000 miles.
Fan belt at 670,000 miles.
Front passenger door will not open 735,000 miles.
(front passenger window still opens for access.)
Head-gasket at 753,000 miles.
General comments?
This car will not die! I just opened the motor up to change the head-gasket and literally used a spoon to scoop out the mayonaise like oil and coolant mixture and took the head to be redone.
The shop said it was fine and so it is going back in after 2000 miles with no head-gasket!
I love this car and it seems to love going on forever!
