You either overpricing the LC80 or you have a lot of money (1 Viewer)

Yeah it's easy to cherry pick sale prices and project that upon every sale of an 80 in the US.
Believe me we WISH it were like that. lol

I mean, I know that my 80 is worth $50k. The problem is ignorant buyers who do not know this.

1991.......8,446........FJ80
1992.......7,865........FJ80
Total FJ80......... 16,311

1994.......11,007.......FZJ80
1995.......14,208.......FZJ80
1996.......12,816.......FZJ80
1997.......11,502.......FZJ80
Total FZJ80........ 47,419

80-Series US Sales 91-97...............63,730

It's not a lot. Especially when you consider that just in the cash for clunkers program, there were 608 91-97 LC listed destroyed. This doesn't include the 1039 (of which, all or none may be LCs) listed simple as "Toyota" "Truck 4WD" between those years or the 23 (again, of which, all or none may be LCs) marked as "Toyota" "UNLISTED".

Then consider over the last 26-31 years flood, crash, fire, etc totals. I would guess there are less than 30k FZJ80s and less than 8k FJ80s left road worthy in the US. I'm thinking closer to 20k and 5k but inflated the numbers to be more optimistic.

Here's the link to the spreadsheet from C4C. They have LCs listed in Truck 1, Truck 2, and Passenger Car.

whats the go with the oil pressure gauge on that one?
Ive never seen that type before

I also lucked out pre-Covid. Bought my 80 in Cali for $3000.

In 2015, I traded a ridiculous mid 90s Jetta
that I had traded for a 92 Ford truck
that I had traded for a beat up 97 Range Rover
that I bought for $500 in 2013.

I’d say the answer to your question at least in the USA is yes and yes.

 

[BILT4ME]

I wanna know who these Americans are that think $100K is a drop in the bucket.

Sure as hell ain't me.

My newest vehicle is 2009 and my DD is a 1996.

Don’t forget about the rust belt. I’d say 7/10 Toyota’s you see driving in the salt belt from the 90-00s era are all goners. Yeah some are still on the road driving but not something a mud member would ever buy as a project car.

A lot of the customers we have at my work (I install PPF/detail) would easily fit into this category but they’re all usually buying exotic cars. I’d say 9/10 have no idea what an 80 series is or what it might be worth. All they know is Porsche, Ferrari, etc.

I don't think $100k is a drop in the bucket, but it goes about as far as $50k did in 2016.

I spent $140 on a tube of grease today that was $18 in 2018 the last time I bought it. Yesterday I cracked open a fresh 55 gallon drum of machine coolant that cost $2400. The last drum was $900 a couple years ago. A dumptruck load of crusher run road base is $400. A few years ago it was $180. Cooking meals for a family of 5 we're spending $1600/mo on groceries actively shopping deals. It was $800/mo in 2018. A pack of lunch meat is $15!!

To me, it makes perfect sense that a top-shelf 80 series can sell for $100k or more.

Right, and they are trying to tell us we have only experienced 15% inflation.......

I just used a $100 bill to light my Cuban cigar. Hahahahaha. I’ll have my assistant post a serious reply later. Hahahaha

I bought a $8000 LC that was worth about $2,000 and put about 50k into it. And it’s a OBD1 with a 1FZ with cracked leather seats still. This is normal right?

Wouldn't be normal if it were OBD2, but as it's not...

WTAF is this thread about?

WTAF is this thread about?

The increase in the cost of, and difficulty of installing, the factory muffler bearing. Anyone know the SST number for that?
Keeping it tech here...

A more creative way of asking, “how much is my LC worth?”

 

[Bludozer]

I just like that the ownership attitude has seemed to completely 180 for whatever reason. A few years ago it used to be “MY 80 COST $1300 + 8 COORS LIGHTS! YOU SPENT $3200?? WOW YOU GOT RIPPED OFF LOSER LMAO!!”

Now it’s just basically “my wallet is open and I am dumb lol”
