While the All-Trac Corollas aren't being made anymore (replaced by the Toyota Matrix AWD), they did come in several flavors.  In Australia and SE Asia, the All-Tracs were dubbed Sprinter or Carib, and are still being imported into other countries.  For example, check out the wagon page on the Canadian importer, Outback Imports http://outbackimports.ca/wagons.html.  Of course, these are right-hand drive cars.

That is a cool site! Had no idea they were marketed in Australia. I almost like their version better than the All-Trac. Carib badging & finish seems more upscale for some reason. Thanks for the link - I'll be sure to add it to our resources page (when ready).

Yes, the fit and finish of these Caribs appears to be 'upscale' than the U.S. All-Tracs, more like Subaru wagons of today.  They are also marketed in New Zealand and Japan, under the same name Sprinter Carib or Carib 4WD, hence the preference for right-hand drive.  Canadian models were called 4WD until 1993.  Only in the U.S. is the appellation All-Trac used, and production stopped in 1992. But for the Japanese/Australian/New Zealand market, 4WD models were made up to 1999 in some places.    The Yukon-based firm Outback Imports appears to get most of their cars from Japan, and, for the most part, these cars are in top shape -- no body damage, good engines with low miles, although some undercarriage rust.

I wonder if any of those can be imported to the U.S. in lefthand drive flavor. I'd seriously consider it, if so.

That depends on both Department of Transportation and local DMV of the U.S. state to which you want to take the car.  For example, in some states, importing a foreign-made car requires that the car be at least 25 years old to be imported without paying heavy penalties or meeting other safety and pollution requirements.

Also, there is the issue of cost.  When Outback Imports first put this particular wagon page, it listed the sale prices of the vehicles (even after they were sold).  IIRC, most of those prices were in the range of $7000-$14,000 Canadian for the wagons listed.  Then, this page was changed to just show "SOLD" in place of the sale price.  Don't know why.

More Sprinter Carib pics with these links.  The Sprinter Carib seems much more common than All-Trac; I wonder if the All-Trac was simply a  Canada/United States/UK mark, while the Sprinter Carib was for the rest of the world.  Some of these pics show Caribs that appear to be for sale in Russia (they have the RUS and the Russian flag) and there is snow in the background.http://www.cars-directory.net/gallery/toyota/sprinter_carib/.  This site shows Sprinter Carib models from 1985 up to 2002, but I don't know if the later models are AWD.  The earlier models definitely show their heritage from what we call the Tercel (but they were still calling the Sprinter Carib).
The site also lists similar vehicles under the designation Corolla Wagon: http://www.cars-directory.net/gallery/toyota/corolla_wagon/.

Some have some interesting factory body mods (bumpers, molding, factory roof rack) and owner internal mods (stereo speakers on the cargo carrier, fire extinguisher on the rear pillar).

The more I look at these Sprinter Caribs, the more I wish I had one. It appears that some models have more advanced instrument clusters (see the Outback Import images), and some even had "height control" as well as a locking center differential.  Here is a link to a British Columbian importer of Sprinter Caribs; note that one of the console screens has this "height control" feature. http://maxoverdrive.ca/toyota.asp?id=4

And I keep wondering, given that these imports are right hand drive cars, it must be frustrating to have to deal with a road system in which you must drive on the right side of the road; apparently Canada used to be a "left-hand-drive" country until the 1920s in most places.  Here is a Canadian perspective: http://www.drivesmartbc.ca/miscellaneous/right-hand-drive-vehicles-left-hand-drive-world

Here's a much more recent (1999) Sprinter Carib located in Japan. This company appears to export them to directly to the US. Check out the price! That '91 All-Trac on eBay in Sightings just sold for the BIN of 4500. This thing is 8 years newer & sold for 2465. Which would you buy? The catch is that they only come in right-hand drive. Of course you could buy one and say your intention was using it as a post office delivery vehicle...

$4500?  Wow.  That other 1992 All-Trac wagon sold for $1975.  That 1999 Sprinter Carib sold for $2465 is that Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars?  Looks like there are somebody must really want these.

I've noticed an inflated value being placed on the All-Trac wagons recently. Then again, some enthusiasts are willing to pay a premium for their prizes.

Thanks for posting a link to my site. I hope you find the information useful!

Just for kicks, I decided to get a shipping quote from one of those Japanese vehicle importers offering a Carib Sprinter for really cheap: http://www.japantradecar.com/CarDetail.aspx?SN=2907

The destination port I selected was Vancouver. Really have no clue of the cost, but figured it couldn't hurt to inquire. Will let you know what they tell me.  

The Sprinters have a few cool features that weren't available in NA. Mine has a different instrument cluster and a locking centre diff. The layout of the interior is a little nicer and maybe more upscale but I wouldn't say the fit and finish is any better. It is still a cheap car. Interior noise is loud etc. The materials used definitely aren't the highest quality, plastics, fabric etc.

Regardless, I love mine.

Considering what I've put mine through, I don't mind that it is cheap.  While not a true off road vehicle (it needs to be lifted), it handles dirt roads and gravel roads much better than anything I've owned.  

Are all All-Tracs noisy? My 89 is not too quiet, especially the rear.
