How many miles are on these vehicles? Are we talking apples for apples? What does "needs work" mean? Mike Caskey bought a FJ80 with a blown headgasket for $2500, but that is not exactly what I am looking for. I couldn't find an FJ80 with lockers and under 100k miles around here for less than $14k, $17k was typical.


The 40th had 150K. Needed a steam cleaning, had two easy-fixe dents, leather was worn, needed maint (front axle, u-joints, etc) and exhuast.

The 96 I looked at needed the front seat fixed and parking break fixed - dealer was prepared to do so. Also needed exhaust (both had a whistle). 130K miles.

The 93 is still for sale in TX - BEAUTIFUL. Only has a semi-float rear w/ drums. Leather cracked. 150K miles.

The 93 that Shreg bought needs cosmetic stuff. Needs major tune up, full flush/fill, maint. 160K miles.

Prices vary region to region by a LOT. TX seems to be cheaper than SW. Midwest is cheaper than south.

For comparison - 96 4Runner SR5 w/ leather, 100K miles and in need of work (dealer) - 11K.

96-98 limiteds, 120K miles, leather needing minor work = 10-14K up here.
