What does it mean when someone in your area says a car "Dog Tracks" ?
This stick shift 2 door Toyota Tercel is running for only $200
.
"Dog Tracking" is an old car guy term for wheel alignment problems.
The front end of the car goes to the left or right of the rear end when traveling in a straight line down the highway.
Generally caused by the rear wheels not sitting straight with the centerline of the car.
A good indication that there is problems in the frame or rear suspension.(crash victim) .One term for frame misalignment is "Diamond Checked". Means the frame is not square but now a parallelogram.

Check very well under rear of car for indications of accident damage.
