Am I missing something at 9K for that vehicle? 9k? Couldn't I get 15 for that sucker in the Denver area? Pays for the trip and put some curbstone coin in the pocket eh? Seems like a great price, anyway.Quote:

Plus he's midway through frame upping his Scout from high school.
Edit: Here's more info. https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/6214868793.html There's been tons of maintenance done in the last five years that would save a would be buyer from baselining.
I've told everyone I know that might care about that truck. It looks like a killer deal... and I'm really cheap. He should probably be asking 10.5k at least.
It's sold and will stay in the family.
Nice! He or she is getting a sweet rig and they could probably put many miles on it before it would be worth less than the 9 that's into it.Quote:

looking for a 100 series for my wife to replace her 3rd gen 4runner. This seems to be a solid deal, but the only color she doesn't like. Search continues.
I missed a low mile single owner 100% dealer serviced Land Cruiser yesterday for $10k CrapQuote:

Air Suspension kind of scares me. The LX470s seem like they are a better "deal" considering price/miles/condition but when I ponder suspension replacement....Quote:

i don't think the 2000 LX470 had ATRAC, and i'm pretty sure that particular LX470 only has center diff lock. we could look at the slee site to verify. when i was shopping, we threw in the cost for us of replacing the air suspension if we bought an LX470 or tlc with air suspension. for us, that changed some of the metrics since we couldn't afford a cash purchase.
Even then, I doubt my wife needs anything beyond AWD.Quote:

Isn't the AWD system fairly similar?Quote:

Ahh. I'm pretty sure the auto subys are one wheel wonders also. What year did the ATRAC start? 2001?Quote:

They also were semi floating axles the 80 is the last of the breed, straight 6, solid front axle, the later ones had full floating rear axles (tough!)
Not saying the hundreds are bad, they are not, and are more suv than 99% of the people need. But 80s are badass.

Agree^^^
Toyota still makes similar-ish suvs/trucks to the 80-series. I wish they imported them here. It'd love to be a second owner of one that's gently used.
The new 70 series landcruisers are super expensive for such a basic truck. They changed the front axle width to accommodate the new motor, but left the rear end at the original width. So you have to break trail/mud/sand twice every time you roll through, and apparently its really squirrelly in loose stuff. They are pretty cool trucks still, I just dont think I would spend >60k US for a leaf sprung truck designed in the 80s.
The 105's are pretty cool though, basically a stripped down 100 series with a solid axle.
I would rather just have a restored 80 series because parts are actually available in this country and RHD cars are a pain over here.
Understood.
My wanting is for lhd versions. Converted to usd, the most expensive is $55k (i know you can't necessarily do a direct conversion, but if I moved to Australia and bought a new glx wagon, I would not be spending $70k USD out the door pre mods). It seems that users spend a lot on them, after initial purchase to do things like address wheel offset, chip the turbos, etc.
Just dreaming....

No joke. I'm not sure why we're selling it, probably the blandness of it.Quote:

Thats like saying you own a house in washington and asking what its worth.
Given the information, I would say between 1,500 and 15,000.
You should start a new thread and post photos.
What single said.
But I may be interested...does the title say gas or diesel? Have to deal with emissions here unfortunately.
Also does it have working ac?
All this 80 series talk has made me dust off my 96 with the locking diffs. Getting the ac charged right now. Only 166k on it, been a mostly inactive third car but thinking about putting some $ into it and using as a dd. It's a horse.
For what it's worth, only the first couple years of the 100s had a 2 pinion front. 2000+ were all 4 pinion. The 2uz started in the 100s and later ended up in the Tundra and Sequoia. It made it to the 4Runner/GX last. The A343F (early 100 series) is the same trans that was in the 95+ 80 series. You might say the 100s are not bad, but you're still short-changing em.Quote:
