Wanted: 60, 80 or 100 series.
I’ve been looking around for a while at 80’s and 100’s in the 6-8k range. I know that’s low (especially lately—geez), but I also know from experience how expensive these things are to maintain, so I’ve been factoring that in to the sales prices I’ve been looking at. I’ve seen a few trucks, but nothing quite right yet. At this point, I think I have to up my budget to get the right truck—after all, I’m not getting any younger! So, I thought I'd post here to see if any members have a tuck for sale.
I think 60’s are pretty much out of my price range at this point, but I do love driving them (love that engine and love a manual transmission, reminds me of my old FJ40’s), so I’m including them as a long shot. Looking for a mostly stock truck, not built, no rust, with a maintenance record and well-loved. Doesn’t have to be perfect, but I want it to have been taken care of. A ’91 or ’92 FJ80 would be awesome. Also interested in a 100/LX 470, since they pop up more in my price range than the others.
Anyway, sorry for rambling! PM me if you have something you’re thinking about selling, or if you have a lead you can pass on. Thanks!
I'm gonna strongly disagree with you on the cost of maintenance. I don't see my 100 as being considerably more expensive to maintain than any other vehicle I've had. Sure, OEM parts are a bit more expensive but they last significantly longer.
I saw someone local post a '99 in decent shape for $14k the other day... he may not get that for it, but you aren't going to talk someone down 50%... not in todays market.
