Cressida in MI

CL listing for auto Cressida

http://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/cto/3643711664.html

Needs a 5 speed 1jz swap today. They are COMFORTABLE too.

There is a guy here in DFW that wants $7500 for his 87 Cressida. Some like it, but to me it looks like it crashed into a jdm accessory catalog....and oh lord that price.

There is also a straight 79 Cressida wagon for sale locally too but its an auto.

Jesus christ. Really? I keep hearing all these horror stories where a craiglslist meeting is arranged abd the seller is robbed, raped and stabbed. May I suggest your next victim?

That thing? I'd wake up the next day with a size 12 poop shoot.

When my Grandmother passed away I inherited her 87 in perfect shape. It was a nice / comfy cruiser, but not sporting in any way. They are very much like a Japanese Mercedes--- big, soft, slow to react to any inputs (throttle / steering) and highway mileage eaters. Super comfy seats too.

I'm sure they can be made fun with a giant turbo / engine swap / revised suspension, etc.....but in stock form, they are what they were intended to be----- luxury cars for the elderly.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Toyota built them as luxury cruisers and their target buyer was a more "mature" person. My friends father had one when I was growing up, rode in it a lot. I remember it being a really nice (comfy) car. I think it's looks have aged well, they're cool retro cars.

but in stock form, they are what they were intended to be----- luxury cars for the elderly.

The road to "They shoulda never gave you honkeys money" is paved with good intentions.

Also, for the fanbois, I doubt you'll find a wagon nicer than this one:

^^^these guys have cool, ridiculously overpriced E36 M3 all the time. Somebody there is into Turbo Dodges, as they always have a couple.

Um. By the way. Holy E36 M3. They have the Top Gear Yugo:

The wagons had a solid rear axle IIRC, while the sedans have IRS.

Just in case anyone cares.

They did offer a 5spd manual from the factory, but those are super rare. I'd imagine it's the same box from the Supra---- the shifter looks identical.

Yeah Cherokee auto group does have interesting stuff. I almost bought an Alfa there once but the water pump starting leaking 2 minutes after it turned on and I came to my senses.

I must've driven past the place a million times and never noticed it. Wife's family lives in that area. I need to stop in some time and at least figure out what the story is. They get some oddball stuff!

Here is a b210 I like

Here is the 79 wagon

Here is the $7500 one

Don't know when I'll be down there next, but I'll gladly take a poke.

I want to have someone look at that bronze wagon in Canton as well if they could. I have a line on a nice white 87 wagon in NY, but that bronze wagon has the nicer color interior, and looks to be a clean slate unlike the white wagon I have my eyes on.

Cutter has dibs Like I said, don't know when I'll be down there next. Could be a week, could be thanksgiving, but I'll check it out if I'm down there soon.
