Slow and Steady: 1984 Toyota Corolla Diesel
This next car comes as a tip from Rock On who writes: Just in case the Mercury Lynx Diesel from last week wasn’t slow enough! Wow. Let’s compare. The Lynx came with a 2.0 liter Mazda RF diesel that put out a blistering 52 horsepower into a chassis that hit the scales at 2300 lbs, while the Corolla came with a 1.8 liter diesel (advantage Lynx) that put out 58 horsepower (tied up!) into a 2100 lb chassis. Game-set-match Corolla. Find this 1984 Toyota Corolla Diesel offered for $2,500 in Renton, WA via craigslist.

I have a rare diesel Toyota corolla
It is not running but I’m positive its the injector pump that needs a rebuild
Has a whole bunch of spare parts and I’ve put a few new ones on myself
Spare parts include:
Rebuilt starter
Thermostat
Belt
Water in fuel sensor
Battery connector fuse box
Alternator (seized)
Glow plug relay
Brake pad set
Rotor set
Clutch kit
Chains
I currently have the air box and fans off because I was messing with the starter, can put them back on if you’d like.
I do not want trades, don’t have time for any more projects.
My dad had the gas version of this same car, in maroon. I used it to deliver pizza with it, and I beat the ever living p!ss out this car. Used to move in and out of dorms/apts while at college. It never let us down. That was a great car.
