I took a look at this truck. Ended purchasing a different one. Straight up transparent seller. Thought I’d pass it along.

I've always seen this dealer selling 80's for pretty crazy prices. Does anyone know about how trustworthy they are? Seems like they have clean trucks. I called and they say that mechanics "go through the truck to make sure there's nothing wrong with it." That doesn't really hold much water but whatever. I asked them if they have any maintenance records from the previous owner and they're said "no, but check the carfax report posted." Well I guess there's 20 years of no maintenance records, so that doesn't help at all. Ha.
Anywho, thought I'd get your guys' thoughts on this dealer? I'd very much rather buy from one of you guys since I trust you guys more, but haven't had much luck this past year for what I'm looking for.
Not mine wish it was if he gets anywhere near asking price.

This guy doesn't know what he has. DJ81? I've contacted him and it was a trade in for an exotic car. I don't think smog legal in CA, but elsewhere??

We're seeing ridiculous pricing coming from some not-so-ridiculous builds, and also ridiculous pricing coming from some clean builds but also unscrupulous sources.
So, 80-series enthusiasts - what constitutes an 80 build that can command such ridiculous pricing?
Here's some "high-end" examples (I was on an LX450 kick to match my LX470 100...but LC's are similar):
'97. No triple-lock. 113k miles. "Built." Seemingly excellent condition. $34.3k.

'97. No triple-lock. 156k miles. "Built." Seemingly excellent condition. $43k.

Be aware that this seller has the nasty habit of rattle canning the underside of his vehicles.
You can see what's going on with this pic:
Seller is careful not to show any pics of the upper hatch and the front of the radiator support. And there's something going on with the running boards.
I hope somebody doesn't overpay for this 80, thinking that it's some sort of museum piece.
Here's another truck that this seller pulled the same crap on:

Not mine, saw it browsing on eBay. Kinda interested in it, has anyone seen this kind of swap before?

I guess he was going for an FJ62 look.
If you de-chromed the mirrors, I think she'd have more of a UN vibe.
Locked, cloth interior.

Selling my 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser. Mileage is 325,000 but the truck is very clean, better than most with 1/2 the mileage. Interior is nice, the driver's seat had the typical side tear, I had it replace with vinyl. The passenger seat could use the little plastic gear but the leather is not ripped. Photos show the interior. I can't say it is perfect, but considering some of the other rigs I see for sale, not too shabby.
Under carriage is in very good condtion with just a touch of surface rust, but again in comparision very good condition. Has the typical oil leak, but not enough to add oil inbtween oil changes. Small leak I clean up on my garage mat every other day or so. You know the deal.
PHH is unknown status, so I guess that...
Anybody ever deal with this seller on Ebay from Chicago? I've seen a truck that was previously sold by him and the undercarriage was a rusty mess that had been covered over. The buyer told me he felt missled.

Is this the same vehicle? I guess rolling back is ok with the disclaimer "The mileage on this vehicle is mileage exempt over 10 years and may not actual ."
Selling my Land Cruiser for no reserve as long as the opening offering of $15,500 is reached.
Super clean. I bought from the original owner. 93k original miles. No lokcers.
Stock. All details in the eBay listing along with 100 photos.
I may be going to the dark side. Just bought a G500 and need to the 80 but keeping my 100 and 62.
