Today is April Fool's Day but this 1975 Toyota Corolla Wagon is no joke.

It needs some work -- it hasn't been restored -- but there has been some work done. The seller also claims to have OEM parts for what the vehicle needs.

That includes rebuilt front suspension parts and rebuilt front brake calipers. Other brake points are new, too, as is the Weber carburetor, fuel tank liner, and other parts. The heater core is rebuilt.

This Washington-based Toyota wagon is available for $7,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Seven thousand dollars?!? Definitely an April Fool's joke.

My younger brother had a '77 Corolla wagon (5-speed and a/c) as one of his first cars (bought it in 1985), and it was a decent reliable car, although he had to get the 5-speed rebuilt. This would be a good deal at $2,000, not at $7,000.

I would hope the guy has the original carb and air cleaner. The original carbs were very good, so why did he put a Weber on it? Couldn't find a rebuild kit?

Tane94 Boohoo. Dealers are quick to sell above MSRP when a model is extremely popular or has a limited special edition production run. I shed zero tears for them over this Nissan situation.
Jkross22 I'd imagine there's a booming business available for EV station repair.
JLGOLDEN Enormous competition is working against any brand in the fight for "luxury" validation. It gets murky for Cadillac's image when Chevy, Buick, and GMC models keep moving up the luxury features (and price) scale. I think Cadillac needs more consistency with square, crisp designs...even at the expense of aerodynamics and optimized efficiency. Reintroduce names such as DeVille, Seville, El Dorado if you want to create a stir.
ClipTheApex I don't understand all of the negativity from folks on this forum regarding Europeans. Having visited the EU multiple times across different countries, I find they are very much like us in North America-- not as different as politicians like to present them. They all aren't liberal "weenies." They are very much like you and me. Unless you've travelled there and engaged with them, it's easy to digest and repeat what we hear. I wish more Americans would travel abroad. When they return, they will have a different view of America. We are not as perfect or special as we like to believe. And no, many Europeans don't look up to America. Quite the opposite, actually.
Dwford Let's face it, Cadillac is planning minimal investment in the current ICE products. Their plan is to muddle through until the transition to full EV is complete. The best you are going to get is one more generation of ICE vehicles built on the existing platforms. What should Cadillac do going forward? No more vehicles under $50k. No more compact vehicles. Rely on Buick for that. Many people here mention Genesis. Genesis doesn't sell a small sedan, and they don't sell a small crossover. They sell midsize and above. So should Cadillac.
