Hi all. I am on the verge of buying a 1995 FJ80 in apparently great condition. 143k miles, VERY clean inside and out. Test drive revealed that the AC didn't work (seller said it worked intermittently), but little else was obviously wrong. I've got it in a local shop right now for a pre-buy inspection.
My question is about the price. Seller has it listed for $7800. I asked if he would be willing to flex on price if the pre-buy inspection revealed anything significant (AC compressor replacement could cost $750+ from what I've read) and he said no... $7800 seems a little steep, even here in Oregon, but I wanted to see what the professionals (you) had to say about that. $7800 plus another $500-1000 dollars to make it ship-shape -- what are your thoughts? Anything major to look out for re: this year and mileage?
Thanks in advance!
