Hey jude-- The 1986 Toyota Tercel has quite a few fans, from what I can see. Of course any car that is over 20 years old will need some tender loving care. Parts will need to be replaced as they wear out, but repairs are not as expensive with this car as with some others. Overall this is probably a good car to own in that price range. For some other opinions, take a look at the following site- http://www.carsurvey.org/modelyear_Toyota_Tercel_1986.html. Good luck from Bovan.
