[J_Lothringer]

[J_Lothringer]

I'm not sure what make they are. They were on it when I bought the cruiser. I do have 6 total

 

[lolo62]

nobody thinks he's asking too much for this??

 

[J_Lothringer]

Thanks for the reply, I really did not know were to start, the 97 40ths seem to go all across the board! So I checked the retail kelly blue book and that's were I came up with my price! I figured with all the upgrades that was a good place to start? I am definatly open for coments, and I am negotiable!!

 

[edl415]

Do you have any pictures of the undercarriage?

 

[J_Lothringer]

I don't have any but will shoot some and put them up. The cruiser is and has always been a california car (no rust) and I am the second owner........

 

[J_Lothringer]

So what kind of money should i be able to get for this? lets here it from the experts!!

 

[J_Lothringer]

So nobody has any input on what i should be able to sell this for?

8-8.5K

It all depends on the market...

That said, IMHO you have a slightly above average vehicle with a couple extras. The mileage is probably the thing that is affecting your ability to get bites at the price point you have selected.

I don't want to affect your ability to get the best price by giving you an actual $$ amount of what I would pay since I'm not a cash buyer in the market right now.

Hope this helps.

Maybe things are different in CA. The extras / mods can't be used to account for much. Stock trucks still bring top dollar.

I have been tracking down a clean 40th for the past few months - and the most I have seen one go for is a super clean 40th in Sage - service records and 130K for $10.5K

KBB is $7,100 for a 40th with 236K in Good condition.

 

[J_Lothringer]

Yeah like I said I looked up high retail blue book at $11k and started close to that. I realize the milage is high, but it is a toyota! And runs like a champ. I am very willing to except all reasonable offers! Thanks for for all the input!

Want to trade for an FJ55? It's SOA on 37" Truxus MT's with a 350 under the hood. I also have a built 89 Toyota crawler if your looking for something like that.

Well, first off, it's bad form to tell someone on this forum that they are asking too much for their rig, many a post has been deleted from the classifeds by the mods because of this.

But, since you opened the floor...

I was recently in the market for an 80 (found a decent one for $5700) but I was willing to forego the lockers and 95-97 in order to find one with a great maintenance record. So I wasn't looking for 40th's. But I did look at many that were 40th's since I looked at everything that was for sale.

Your 40th is very nice, but as has been stated, high mileage.

IF you have done the preventative and scheduled maintenance (i.e. front axle service, diff services, oil changes etc) and have it documented, and if compression tests out, and the front and rear diff locks work, then its a $9000-$9500 dollar truck. If not you will end up below that.

Of course, if someone really wants it, what you get will be what they are willing to shell out to make it happen.

 

[speedkills]

can you post more detailed pics of the interior, front, paint issues?

Based on a little more research, and the input I have received on this forum I have decided to lower the price down to $10,000 obo, or trade for ? I will try to take some more pics in the next few days and post them up. Thank you all for your input!
