80 Series Purchase

[JimmyJam]

Hi guys, new to the site, but I wanted to get some advice on an 80 Series that I am looking at on Sunday. I found a 1994 FZJ80 with 215,000 miles on it. I have to travel to check it out, so I want to make sure I know what to look for and what others might pay for the same vehicle.

It has Leather, 3rd row seat, Lockers front and rear from factory. I verified the lockers with pictures of the diff lock switch. I will look at the door plate when i get there. Anything else I should look for and what would be a good price to pay?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a link to an ad?

I don't. Just been texting with them. Just not sure what a normal price is for one.

Depends where the truck is, you might be able to find another member, or local club member at that location, put eyeballs on it for you before you travel. Send you photos, etc.

Theres not really a normal price. Running trucks can be found for sub 2k while trucks in pristine condition with low miles can be over 20k. Lockers generally add 1-2k to the value.

Thanks. From what I have seen others around me going for, I think I'll be getting this one after I inspect it.

What state is it in ? I ask as for here in NC it is a bit high. But in other places it might be a low price. Check it over good. Try to find / bring a Cruiser head with you that knows what he is looking at and can point you out things to talk the seller down on.

It is worth what you are willing to pay.

Sounds like the price is right at $4500 if it doesn't require a lot of maintenance afterwards.
