Re: Looking for advice on used car purchase
When you look at a car that is old enough to legally purchase and consume alcoholic beverages, yes get it inspected. It's a 21 year old car. The mileage may be low, but it's age may show if you start driving it daily. Bringing a mechanic to inspect a used car is always a good idea if you can arrange it.
As for the car itself, I personally wouldn't get a tercel because I find them boring. However, you do get that legendary Toyota reliability and damn good fuel mileage without having to buy the loathsome abomination known as the prius. If it checks out mechanically I'd say go for it.
