Hey all,
Been looking to get into an 80 series and was wondering what a fair price for a 1996 that I went to see the other day. Below is a list of pros/cons that I noticed while inspecting. 200k miles, green exterior, tan interior, Center diff lock only. Seller is asking 15k.
Pros:
Body is clean, straight, and 100% rust free
Has 3rd row seats
New radiator, no overheat
Everything works with exceptions below
Owner owns 3 other Cruisers, clearly passionate
Big Cons:
Brakes - VERY SOFT, brakes felt almost non-existent, not safe
Power steering leak - Appears to be a wrong hose on the reservoir
Air bag Light on
Rear Main Seal Leak - Slow leak
Front Seats - Need reupholstery
Other cons:
Driver mirror doesn't power adjust
Battery tie down missing
Windows - Passenger front is slow, passenger rear does not go up without assistance
Washer bottle - Cracked
Kayak Rack on roof needs to be sawed off
Loose/stuck transfer case bolt
Rear corner side marker light out
Power antenna stuck up
Driver seat belt issues - Doesn't extend/retract without locking
Drive light on cluster burnt out
Clear coat fading - Hood, Roof
Couldn't test Sunroof due to roof rack
Front sunroof trim piece missing
Slight Lifter tick
Sun visors loose, falls down while driving
No service records
I really think the rig is solid from an engine/trans perspective but this list seems like a lot to do. Let me know thoughts if you could please!
TIA
