Junkyard Find: 1986 Toyota Cressida Wagon

20 - 1986 Toyota Cressida Wagon Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee MartinThe Toyota Cressida is now at its moment of peak junkyard availability, with most examples finally getting to the point at which repairs just aren't justified by the car's value. The Cressida was an extremely well-built car by 1980s standards, and a pretty good car even through our jaded 21st-century eyes (which view vehicles that get scrapped before 200,000 miles as suspiciously crappy and/or abused). We've seen this '80, this '82 this '84, this '87, this '89, and this '92 in the Junkyard Find Series so far, but today's Cressida is the first wagon.

That means the car was probably still legal when it got towed away for parking tickets and its fines not paid (most likely) or sold for scrap.
