1982 FJ40 is Available in Oman.. Shud i buy..?

[jahf916]

hi everybody..
lemme introduce myself.. I'm Jahf residing in Oman..
i was in search of a Toyota land cruiser FJ40 for long time..

last day i found a FJ40 parked somewhere here and I contacted the person who is willing to sell it..

it is a 1982 model, hard top, 6cylinder, 2F petrol engine with power steering and A/C.. the vehicle is in running condition.. he is asking for OMR 1500.000 which is approx equal to $3900.00,
is it worth?

I'm expecting you guys suggestions and advices regarding this vehicle

regards

It looks worth that. If you buy it ditch the rear flares and paint the top and bezel white.

 

[amaurer]

I think I'd pay that. I'd get a new cap for my clutch master cylinder and repaint the roof and bezel as Trollhole said.

If you can get a closer pic of that snazzy door panel that would be great

3900 would seem to be a good price

good luck

upload them to photobucket.com or similar then copy the img code....

Looks like a great 40....

Put the original blinkers back on the guards too! (Does that LH front guard have a crack? Perhaps its fibreglass?)

But looks a good price to me and probably got far less rust than you'd find in a similar-priced cruiser here (although that flash metallic paint job is probably hiding a few things).

I think I'd buy it - if it was diesel. (But petrol is better for the dune driving where you are I guess).

Looks like a great deal to me also. Bought my 76'40 for $3900 in 05'.



...and it had no rear doors, or side doors....... or top




never looked back

price in the US would be good, in Oman.my guess is you have alot of other 40's to pick from, while the one you show is not bad(repaint etc etc) depending on your wants/use you might want to find one that is more stock or not repainted(not wild about that color)

Buy it, they are rare as hens teeth here. Take it to Gopi @ 4 wheel drive center in Wadi Kabeer for the fix-up.

If you don't buy it, please let me know as I will!

Good Luck!

I like those fancy "Shaheen" (Falcon) tires. Must be made for the middle-eastern market.

It looks nice - factory power steering and everything..

Mashallah!
