Hi all. This is my father's beloved 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 — sadly, we need to sell it. I'm told this is the place to list it, but happy to hear any other suggestions.

A note on photos: More are coming. I recently had to relocate my father from Baja to Seattle for end-of-life care, and I'll be returning next month to prep his property for sale — I'll get better shots then.

Condition:

• Exterior: Great shape; lifted with full Rhino Liner undercoating; silver
• Mechanical: Runs beautifully — I took it through an arroyo last month and it was a blast
• Interior: Front seats need refurbishing; rear seats and trunk are in great condition
• Drivetrain: 5-speed manual with 4WD; 4.2L I6

By the numbers (Carfax attached):

• 75,732 miles — original, no rollback indicated
• No accidents, no structural damage, clean title
• Originally a California car
• Note: Carfax goes quiet after 2020 when my father moved the vehicle to Baja. It's been lightly driven and primarily kept covered for the last several years; I don't have detailed service records from that period, but it runs great.

This would be a perfect rig for anyone living in Baja as an ex-pat — it's currently licensed and registered there.

My father is a car guy who kept this beast well-maintained despite his advancing dementia, but he's unfortunately not a reliable source of details right now. I'm doing my best to navigate Medicaid while working full-time — selling this would go a long way toward getting him the care he earned after 40 years as a union ironworker.

Questions and alternate listing suggestions both welcome. Thanks so much!

***One last thing: I'm not a car person navigating this mostly on my own, and I want to price this fairly for everyone. Based on my research, I'm tentatively thinking somewhere in the $38,000–$42,000 range given the low mileage and clean Carfax — but I'd genuinely love input from people who know these vehicles. What would you price this at?***

If it is Mexico legal now an expat in Baja may be the best person to sell it to.

Where in Baja is it?

Cheers

Kit, nothing in this listing supports a $38k to $42k number right now. Calling that range aspirational is being generous.

On mileage, no one is going to treat this as a verified 75k mile truck. The Carfax shows about 75k miles in 2001, then nothing tied to mileage after that, and later it becomes exempt from odometer reporting. That’s a 20+ year gap. Maybe it’s accurate, maybe it isn’t, but without documentation it just reads as unknown.

On photos, more coming later doesn’t help today. Four photos, one being the owner’s manual, and the rest from a distance. One of them has a cactus as the main subject with the truck behind it. That’s not enough for anyone to put a real number on it. People are going to want engine bay, interior, underside, and the usual rust spots before they even start taking pricing seriously.

From what’s visible, this looks like a driver, not a preserved low mile example. Paint is faded back to silver, maybe bedliner on the front fenders, aftermarket bumper, painted wheels, and no real detail around any of it.

The history raises questions too. California early, then South Dakota, New York registration, now Baja, with very little in the way of service records. Stack that on top of the mileage gap and it just adds more uncertainty.

As it sits, this is an unknown mileage truck with limited documentation in driver level condition. Take that $38k number and cut it by about 60% and you’re probably closer to where a seller would be interested.

The South Dakota thing is only the “SD Loophole” for cheap registration. It’s likely the truck was never located there. Yes to A LOT of detailed photos and a current video showing the 60 cold starting, driving, and the speedometer working/odometer clocking correctly. IF the miles are the same or very close to what they were in 2001, that’s another situation which affects value. For comparison, during 2025 I sold an all original ‘86 in factory bronze with 204k for $16.5; She had a 9.8/10 body and paint, and the interior was 8/10 only because the front seats were partially reupholstered (solid brown vinyl edge bolsters). The truck ran like a watch and had EVERY emission part including the factory cat. It was a CO truck relocated to NY and was always garaged.
What I’d do is post/share an album (Dropbox, etc.) of detailed pictures.. interior, exterior, underneath the frame front and back close-ups of any defects.

Looks like there's some bubbling on the roof and looks like some rust in the rear quarters - if that's present this is a $10k truck on a good day regardless of mileage.

We'll need more photos to get a better idea of it's true condition.

Good success with Land Cruiser sale - sounds like a lot of challenges.
