For Sale 1991 JDM RHD FJ80 Gasoline 61K Miles Arizona

Location

United States

Let me know if there is a better place to post this:
In the next month or two I will be selling my 1991 Right Hand Drive FJ80 Landcruiser imported with current Arizona plates and title. I am trying to get an idea of what it is worth as this is my first Land Cruiser. (was supposed to be my last)

It has 98,000 KM or about 61,000 Miles. It is the Gasoline 4.0 liter engine. Center Diff Lock. OEM Manual throttle lock (for a winch). OEM Second row and 3rd row AC and Heat. OEM Center Console Fridge/Freezer/Ice maker that runs off of the AC. Automatic. No Rust. HID head lights. LED tail lights and interior lights. Brown w/ Grey interior. Automatic Folding mirrors don't work. Spare tire holder removed and holes covered. 3rd row seat removed.

It kills me to sell her but I will be putting the money towards our new house so all of the extra must go.
Any info or advice will be greatly appreciated.

That's pretty rare. Cool ride. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks man!

Sweet truck, love the brown. Unique options mileage and pedigree should give you a bump over market, subtract for RHD, much depends on mechanical shape it's in and care of owners.

 

[MrZo]

Thanks, I believe the Brown is the original color because I can't find any signs of repaint (not that I'm an expert). I think they had different color options in Japan. The paint is in great condition with the exception of some Arizona pin striping on the US "drivers" side. The bumpers, grill, side step, wheels, gas tank cover, and badges have all been painted black. No mechanical issues other than I'm going to replace the breaks in the next week or two. The interior is in VERY good shape also.

I would be interested in this when yoh decide to sell.

 

[skipsfj40]

is this available yet?

 

[MrZo]

Not yet, I'm going to replace the brakes then sell.
I just need to make some time to get it done. I'm hoping some of the LC gurus will help give me an idea of what a fair price will be.

Nice Cruiser. Loving the color. Digging the rear door fender flare and running boards.

 

[MrZo]

Thank you! The paint looks even better in person. I probably should have washed it before taking a picture.

I forgot to mention that it passed emissions with no problems. Just filled the tank with American gas, drove up and paid my $30 and 10 minutes later I got the thumbs up.

Cool 80, but a right hand drive 3fe may be less desirable than a US spec 91-2...which may be the cheapest cruiser you can buy

 

[MrZo]

Thanks for the info. Your the second or third person that has said RHD is minus and not a plus. I was thinking the other way. Just my opinion but RHD is way more fun. It starts conversations everywhere I go. All of my friends and family members have driven the LC and all of them have the same Big Stupid Grin (BSG) when they are done. I'm not even joking everyone of them... BSG
Thanks again for the advice.

If it was a 3F I think it might be worth more......no joke.

RHD is fun(maybe) in a 60,70,80 or anything with a Toyota Diesel in it, that simply is the main selling feature, RHD is something you put up with to get the rest

on the positive side. low miles are a plus.......thing is the 3fe will got forever just not get there fast........so it may last forever

it is a darn good looking 92, no doubt there.

you may get 10K for it to the right buyer(ie not into cruisers)

I've never seen someone import a gas one. You do know diesel was an option, right?

I've never seen someone import a gas one. You do know diesel was an option, right?

It's only an option if you know how to work on a diesel or can tolerate paying someone else to work on your car.

 

[absalom]

The 1HDT has got to be the easiest motor I've ever worked on, full stop. It also just rips the 3fe a new one.

 

[MrZo]

Never even driven a diesel

 

[absalom]

Never even driven a diesel

It's like your 3fe except much more exciting, reliable, economical, powerful, and and best of all?? No power loss at altitude

You owe it to yourself to try.

Take it from someone who struggled to sell their RHD 81 for over 6 months, being RHD absolutely kills the resale.

 

[MrZo]

Good info, thanks.
If and it's a big IF I tried a diesel I would probably try to find a 70 series. Maybe even the 2 door FRP removable top. Something about the wind blowing through what little hair I have left as the sun is setting in the distance just calls to me...

 

[MrZo]

To turn a frown upside down, if it takes a long time to sell my FJ80 I'll just have to convince my wife that we should sell the 4Runner instead... : )
