I have only owned one Toyota. It was a 1973 Corona Wagon. It first belonged to my mother-in-law, then to my future wife. She sold it to a family friend and when I needed a car quick and cheap she sold it to me for what she'd paid for it.
Plugs, new Dist. Cap and a Thermostat later it ran like a sewing machine, albeit with poor winter heating, no AC and a passenger front window that liked to fall out of its tracks. It did that during an impromptu trip to Atlanta during late Fall - with temperatures around 40°, making my wife quite sick (being young back in those days I was nearly impervious to wild temperature swings!)
Later, after buying a nearly new Chevy Corsica (bad, bad car) I kept the Toy around so I could drive it to work (I was far less concerned about kids vandalizing a $300 car than an $8000 one!) but it finally came time to dispense with it. Once again, it was sold for $300, which the Corsica immediately sucked down with a burned out ignition module the warranty people at Chevy refused to pay for.
I wonder if that car is still running somewhere. It had 250K miles on it when we parted company.
