How well-equipped was a new 1983 Corolla Deluxe wagon?
Were any or all of these following options available on a 1983 Toyota Corolla Deluxe 5-Door Wagon automobile originally sold new in California?
1. power door locks? 2. power windows? 3. cruise control? 4. roof rack? 5. power steering? 6. factory a/c? 7. factory radio cassette stereo? 8. cloth seats? 9. mag wheels? 10. clock? 11. automatic transmission? 12. tilt steering wheel? Many I see pictured on Google have vinyl seats. Back in 1983, could I have gotten a new Corolla Deluxe wagon with every conceivable option OTD in California for under $10,000 even with the most powerful engine option? What was the most powerful motor offered for that particular model that year? I ask because I feel that a new 1983 Corolla Deluxe Wagon would have been my very best buy then at age 19 because I had a $10K budget then to buy any new car. I have buyer's remorse to this day for having then got a crappy way-under-equipped-car-for-the-price GM product instead. This was a crappy 1983 Chevrolet Camaro hatchback with roll-up windows, vinyl seats, AM mono Delco radio, 5-spd, 6-cyl. and no a/c even. $9,100 retail for this overpriced stripped-down stupid thing which performed lousy on curves anyway. I ran the damn thing off the rural twisty road doing 45 in a 25 and banged up against a bush over the embankment. No slot car for sure. I was a young ignorant shill for "buy American". This car was originally $6,508 MSRP according to NADA but was standard equipment on that model? https://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/1983...n/Values/Print
