Where are you located? Post pics and that will also help. Seems like it is pretty rough, and 295k on the clock is high.

For reference, I just purchased an '85 with 102k on the clock for only a little more... Needs some minor work, but otherwise all original... I wouldn't pay $4k for that wagon.

2500 is closer, in my world. Looks like a ton of deferred maintenance.

Just bought my first fj62. '90, 179k miles, new tires, zero rust, interior in fantastic shape (slight cracking on driver side seat), and engine needed basic tune up (new hoses, spark plugs, cable adjustment, etc.).

It's currently in the shop getting body work and new paint job. Nothing major just lots of small dings and dents. I also wanted all the holes welded shut where I removed the chrome strips and roof rack.

Found it locally here in Idaho for $2500

$1,500 - $2,000 range if the compression is still good in the motor and the interior can be cleaned up to look decent.

I think you'd be buying a clean frame and body.
