Hi Guys
I am going to Europe to get some more Cruiser parts and I received a tip on where to find a nice 1986 BJ75 that has been stored dry for many years with around a 100K miles on the 3B/H55 combo.It has power steering but NO A/C and when I spoke to the owner he mentioned there where a few tiny surface rust spots and he seemed to be an honest seller recommended by another good honest person ,so no reason to doubt this.
If I bring it I will probably use it for a while until the HZJ73's are legal to import because that is what I am waiting for.
Considering the fact that trucks get the 25% import duty vs the much cheaper rate vor suv's and cars I am trying to determine what my top $$ amount is I can pay for this without loosing money when I put it up for sale here in a while.
I am looking for a real value,so nothing like when my 70 sold when I received a lot of comments like "if I knew it was only gonna be this much I would have bought it"
My 70 was for sale for a month and I did loose money on it,not wanting to repeat this with the next one but I can't find any references to BJ75 pu sold in the us
I think they are really cool and will probably bring it anyway but just carefully trying to find out a value.
I do not have any pics now and the only way pics will be showed is after I bought it,I am not gonna post a car that belongs to a private person who has not listed it for sale.
Thanks
Joe
