Wanted 99-01 fj100

I just moved to Boston, and am looking to expand our motor pool with our first Land Cruiser. Initially, I want to use this as a daily driver (short commute), and for exploring local trails on the weekend.

My budget: $10-12k
Preferred Mileage: < 130k

I am willing to travel a bit to find a deal, but with a 2 year old at home, I can't dedicate my entire life to chasing the perfect rig.

Do these expectations sound reasonable?

I am continuing to pick through the existing threads on the forum, but in the meantime, any tips on what to watch for on a older FJ100? (beyond the basics: rust, smoker, has it been taken off road?)

Has anyone seen any of the current / active listings in person to speak to quality?

Thanks everyone!

Are you open to 80 series or only 100? I have a clean 1994 I'm considering

I know where a 99 is with 190k for 12k. Let me know if you want more details. Truck is in excellent condition with all options for 99. Only mod is 285/75 r16 BFG at's. Never offroad. All records.

I just started looking at later years of the 80, and would consider those, but I would still strongly prefer lower miles and a 100. I know these trucks last for a long time, but I would like to get one on the newer side, since listings appear to be available in these ranges.

ok, let me know if you change your mind as this 100 is just sitting at my friends house. He already bought a replacement vehicle.

I've got a '99 here in Atlanta with 112K miles, $13,750. Only 2 owners and all books and records. Very good condition and comes with a few extras. Email me drewporta1@gmail.com for more info. Search classifieds here for my listing with photos.

I have a 2000 with 123k for $11,750, are you still looking? I am trying to buy a car in PA but need to sell mine first. I could deliver it that far. I'm in Indiana.
