Default Finally found my 1st gen!

Super stoked to have found this 92 w 124k. 2 owner car with a good service history. Has a few minor issues but that was exactly what I was in search of, a project car with a lot of life left. Likely going to stay primarily stock as a weekend driver. Can't wait to get the wrenches out!

Great find and looks great for being that old. Enjoy the ride and the joy of having something to nice and beautiful that cost so little. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the club.

That blue on blue looks nice, I can't say I've seen many (if any) UCF10s in a dark blue like that.

If its the indigo blue its not a 92. That's a 93 to 94 color. Need to double check the door B pillar sticker for date. Wheels are 93 -94 not 92 style.
I think you have an early 93 that for some reason they titled it as a 92 if the build date is 11 or 12 of 92 its likely the year change over, and gosh don't dealers have the next year models on the lots by then?

Oh yea, it's a 93-94. it has a digital odometer. Ya cant see it in the pic but those are the buttons for it. I do like the color, you of my favorites. Looks like it was just detailed, keep it clean.
One thing that doesn't look right is one new headlight (nice and clean) and one old fuzzy one. But nice find and welcome to the club.

You are correct sir. I just looked at the title and it's a 1993, I hadn't made it to the DMV to transfer it yet. The PO is old and his son did the Craigslist ad mistakenly listed it a 92. Already learning from the pros. Love it!

Just a tip. If it is in top shape and you want to modify a car, get a junker to work and play with. I'd keep it as is and just drive it. I like that color as well, very nice.

This is my 3rd "classic" Yota vehicle. I agree to leave it primarily stock. The only thing I may do is some newer lexus wheels and better tires. I'll save the oem wheels as well. Otherwise I'll do a complete paint correction and fix the minor blemishes then just use it on the weekends.

Yeah and just like any southern car the paint is gone south, see the flaking on the hood.
