A bit worse for wear, but I don’t doubt it would start right up if you tried. Although it wasn’t considered particularly exciting when it was new, Toyota’s AWD Tercel Wagon, called the Toyota #SprinterCarib (short for Caribou) in Japan, was probably one of the make’s best 1980s products. AMC and Subaru had already been selling affordable 4WD wagons for a few years by the time the 4WD Tercel reached U.S. shores, but Toyota had also been thinking of offering a small 4WD (few called it “All Wheel Drive” in those days) wagon as far back as 1979. What became the 4WD Tercel/Carib was previewed at the 1981 Tokyo show as the futuristic-looking, angular Toyota RV-5 concept. Several months later the real thing hit the streets almost entirely unchanged. All U.S.-model Tercels made due with 62-hp 1.5 liter fours, mounted north-south and inherited from the Mk1 “Corolla Tercel.” That made the creative 4WD setup much easier, with Toyota adding a rear axle from the rear-drive E70 Corollas and link it with a driveshaft. There was no center differential, and no low range, but Toyota put in a “crawl” gear in manual versions for 6 speeds, though only 5 were usable on the road. The result worked very well off road, and performed pretty much like a regular Tercel on pavement. For an “economy car” it did not come cheap at over $11K, and there were also cheaper FWD wagons, but owners loved them. Toyota’s idea was just one take on a wave of “tall cars” that Japanese makers came up with around the same time, Honda’s Civic Shuttle/Wagovan, Nissan’s Prairie (aka Stanza Wagon) and Mitsubishi’s Chariot (Colt Vista) being the rest of the set, of varying sizes. The #Tercel was arguably the best of this new breed of “not quite minivans,” certainly at first, because it had real 4WD capability and because it would prove extremely hard wearing and a little bigger inside than Subaru’s wagons. There are still plenty of Civic Wagovans around, but the 4WD Tercel seems second only to the Hilux in hardiness. Rust was its only enemy. In places where salt is not a factor, it’s not that uncommon even today to see these wagons with well over 200K or even 300K on the clock. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ_4ht2lyiB/?igshid=13k8rya2t2d7o
