Toyota Cressida • 1985 • 750,000 km • ₡ 1000000 CRC

This 1985 Toyota Cressida is 16+ years old, which moves it into project / collectible / hand-me-down territory. Pricing in this band has more to do with condition and rarity than age. Inspect for rust, frame integrity, and electrical wear — none of which the 1985 fuel-economy spec sheet will warn you about.

This listing is above the typical mileage band for a 1985 Toyota — most Cressidas of this age sit around 15-20k km/year. High-mileage doesn't disqualify the Cressida but does mean major service items (timing components, suspension, clutch on manuals) are likely due. Price should reflect that.

San Vicente, San Jose is a smaller market — comparable Toyota Cressida listings are scarce, so this sedan can carry a small premium for buyers who can't find local alternatives. Be transparent about condition; buyers who travel for a listing typically expect what they see in the photos.

For this diesel Toyota Cressida, focus on DPF (diesel particulate filter) condition and any history of regen-cycle issues — short-trip diesels often clog DPFs early. Also check EGR cleanliness, turbocharger play, and injector codes via OBD-II. Diesel auxiliary equipment (glow plugs, fuel filter) wears on a schedule independent of the engine.

Costa Rica requires SOAT (or its local equivalent) — basic third-party liability included with annual registration. For a premium-tier Toyota Cressida, full-coverage private insurance on top usually runs 3-7% of the vehicle's market value per year. Quote with two or three carriers before listing day; rates vary widely by San Jose.

Diesel fuel in Costa Rica typically runs near or just under gasoline. This Cressida's real advantage is fuel economy on long highway runs — for short-trip city use, a diesel's break-even versus a gasoline equivalent is many years out.

This is a private-seller listing. For a premium-tier purchase like this Toyota Cressida, the buyer usually pre-arranges financing with their own bank or credit union — get pre-approval before contacting the seller. The seller will typically wait for funds to clear before signing over the title.

In San Jose, Costa Rica, you'll need the original title signed over by the seller, a bill of sale, a current emissions / safety inspection where required by San Jose, a VIN-match verification, and proof of insurance to take possession. The state DMV or motor-vehicle agency processes the transfer; many do it the same day.

This is a private-seller listing — an individual selling their own Toyota Cressida, not a business. Treat it like any other person-to-person purchase: meet in a safe public location (a police-station parking lot is the gold standard), verify the seller's ID against the title before any money changes hands, and never wire funds before seeing the vehicle in person.

A 16+ year-old Toyota Cressida is past its depreciation trough — pricing from here is condition-driven, not age-driven. Documented examples of desirable trims can appreciate; rough examples stay flat or depreciate as parts availability tightens. Set the price by recent comparable sold prices, not by asking prices.

If the seller still owes a bank or finance company against this Toyota Cressida, the title has a lien recorded. Do NOT hand over funds before the lien is released. Standard practice in Costa Rica: buyer's bank pays the lender directly for the loan balance and pays the seller for the remainder, with the lender's release letter arriving alongside the new title. Verify the lien status through whatever public registry Costa Rica uses (DMV / DETRAN / Registro Civil / etc.) before agreeing to a purchase price.
