Hi, I am an extremely long time lurker but this is my first post as I don't own a Cruiser. I hesitate to put this thread out there because I'm afraid someone else will jump on the deal and contact the guy, but I figure it is better to know the answers to the questions I have for the next time if someone does. There's a 40 for sale and the guy is asking $3500 OBO. The pics he posted make it look like it is in pretty good shape but he didn't show the back at all which worries me.
This is what the guy posted:
Ive got a 1975 Toyota Landcruiser for sale it has a 4" spectre off road lift kit and a brush guard. Body has some rust not too horrible. Runs and drives fine, transmission has a whining sound, I was told it was common by several different people. Shifts fine good clutch 4x4 works good, I used it around my farm some that's about it.
Basically what I want to know is what questions should I be asking this guy, and what should I look for when I go take a look at it.

Thanks so much! I searched everything but the actual term buyers guide. Idiot mistake. This is a huge help
 
Find a local to go with you to check it out. Ask in your clubhouse. A 6 pack goes a long way usually.
