I paid $2700; my son says it's a steal, and I'm inclined to believe him. My previous car was a 1989 Toyota Celica GT, which I bought new in 1989 and drove until last summer. I sold it for $1660, despite an almost dead clutch and transmission (both original), and 165,000 miles on the engine (also completely original). The All-Trac has 96,000 miles, the body's in good shape, and it has a new clutch. My son says that it drive very well, with no sign of drive train problems, and the compression test was excellent. With luck it should be a fun beater for some years.

I'll post pictures when I get the car; I haven't seen it yet!

 

great car
and hard to find too
post pic please

 

I have no idea what the KBB is on that car but it seems like a great deal because I'd gladly pay that much to always have as much fun as I did in my old friend's All-trac--especially because they're such a rare to find these days.

 

You know what'd make a nice winter beater? A new RL! Drove one today and it was so nice, comfortable and planted on the road with that SH-AWD. It'd make a very nice beater, even nicer than a non-beater it's supposed to accomodate.

 

also CRX is good beater car as well

 

Nice find. Sounds like a great deal!

Those cars are pretty quirky and some replacement parts for it are both expensive and very hard to find. But it sounds like your son is already well-versed in the car, which is a big plus.

I love my beater, too- '95 GS-R. It's nice to leave the S2000 in the garage when it's raining or cold. Plus no more rock chips and bugs splatters from interstate driving.

 

i like my jetta (cough cough).. its my daily driver, autocrosser, beater, winter car, and occasional dirt roader...pull the ole tire switcheroo and i have a different car...cant beat that

 

My son has now put two All-Tracs back together, an '88 and a '90, including pulling engines, replacing a clutch, nad now is contemplating replacing a head gasket and rings. I think it will be helpful to have him not too far from home.

 

$2700, wow, thats a good price!

I love All-Trac Turbo's, however, I would be hating life when it comes time to replace that clutch! It is one of the biggest pain in the ass!
