I am open to offers and am asking $14,500. Please note there's well over $20K in this truck.

Just bought a 200 so I'm afraid my beautiful, rust free 80 needs to go!

I bought this '97 Collectors Edition last fall with 215K on the clock. It was well cared for by its previous owner in North Carolina, but needed some maintenance and personality - which I dove right into and have enjoyed very much. When I tested the waters on selling this truck last spring I received an offer of $17,500 but the timing wasn't right.

I've done all the maintenance she could possibly need and also added a slew of creature comforts including bluetooth audio/phone, cupholders, phone holder, leather heated seats and lots of other small details.

Services from McIntosh Imports to get it ready for another 100K miles.

I have actually see this a lot recently with land cruisers on craigslist. I responded to one a few weeks ago for a different unmodified fj80. Price wasn't out of the realm of possibility.
Texted them, their response was to email their "friend" for details. Email fishing expedition.
The same ad showed up in KC, OKC, and Wichita. Each time it got flagged and removed a new ad with a different description and shot of the vehicle from a different angle showed up.
This won't be the last we have seen of your truck at this great discount price!

Multiple ads popping up in San Diego Craigslist as well. At first I was like HOLY S$#! That's a deal....knew it was too good to be true and then I remembered it was your ad! Both ads flagged

Ps - lived in charleston 3 years ago to attend CofC, man I miss that place, just not the waves:p
 
So for those of you that are disappointed by the scammers trying to falsely sell the truck, the good news is its still available for a very reasonable price!
 
Al Grain,

You should have a PM. I'm new to the forum and working from my phone, so please let me know if you don't so we can touch base.

I am very interested in learning more about your LC and making an offer
