I tried in the tech forum but this might be the better venue. Ive been contemplating buying this rig, but wanted to make sure I was assessing fair market of this rig correctly. Any help is appreciated guys. I was thinking mid 30's on it was fair. Opinions? Cheers, Cavan...

Gotcha, what do you think is FMV of the rig based on the pics?? Thanks for the help :beer:

He is, name is peter in Montana. I've seen some of his work before, looks nice IMO. Thought people might know him here. Anyone?? Any comments on valuation?

Good eye, the restorer is in Montana, so he bought a CA vehicle, shipped to Montana to restore, and resold to a CA buyer. These pics are from when the restorer originally sold the vehicle to the current seller in CA. The current owner asked the restorer to sell it for him, just wasnt driving it.

Ive been contemplating buying this rig, but wanted to make sure I was assessing fair market of this rig correctly, and wanted to know if anyone knew this guys work. I've seen him selling rigs on ebay pretty regularly. Any help is appreciated guys. I was thinking mid 30's on it was fair...

Looks nice except it might be a scam, no feedback, one picture shows a different tan interior, and then it says paint all original??? Then its says contact him before bidding or it will be canceled? Something is strange about it but I do like it.

Yeah thats a nice rig, but what would that be worth as an 83? I appreciate the opinions but I'm not sure we are doing apples to apples here. I'm trying to find what is fair on this rig thats an 83 based on the work yall see. I've seen relatively clean 81-82 all original go for $22-26K that...

Even for an 83 restored for $20K? I would have thought $40-50K depending on the quality of the work.

Mileage is accounted for, the records on the car seem pretty thorough. If this was a 77 it'd be a 10K car, but since is a US 83 its worth more, just not sure how much more exactly.

I'm looking at the 83 FJ in the classifieds. https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj40-bj40/721556-1983-beige-fj40-ca.html I like it, but I'm not sure how much work its gonna need based on the pics. What do yall think? Those with experience will know more than I will. Obviously the quarters need...

Agreed, glad I asked about that 83, lol. That would have been a big hit.

Yeah thats what I was trying to figure out. The 83 looks nice but wasnt sure if it was 300 globally or US import cause all the 40-60K 83's I've seen have been US spec. Thank you for the clarification. I like the 82 just hoping it goes for FMV.

Quite simple, really... Traded in an expensive car to a dealership and have till the end of the month to purchase something else. For example, you trade in a $10K car and then buy a $30K new car, you only pay tax on the difference, in this case $20K. In Texas sales tax is 6.25%, so on a $30K...

I need to pick up an FJ this month for tax credit reasons, so I'm in a time crunch for a god deal. I like the late models cause the FJ60 drivetrain, but not a neccessity. I really like the 83 for its rarity, but I dont like that it has the bucket seat cause its an import. Are those as...
