I know nothing about this guy or rig. He asked me to point interested parties to the listing for him. Since I don't know any, I decided to spam you all with it. :flipoff2:
But, if anyone's in the market and wants to deal with importing it (it's over 25 years old), this could be a cool lil rig.

His asking price is in $Can.
 
If this rig is all it's cracked up to be, that's a great deal... Good diesels from Canada are becoming harder to find and more expensive every year, because all of us in the US are buying them up...

Being over 25 years old, this import should be a slam dunk...

I'd suggest contacting a good Registered Importer (RI) and find out the details, but I'd guess the "import cost" would be less than $1000. I'd highly recommend the RI that I used bringing in my less than 25-year old HJ60...

I worked with Susan there, and they were very knowledgeable and cost-effective (only about $400 for their services, probably less on on a 25yr+ truck...)

On top of the RI costs, you'd have shipping or fly-up/drive-back costs (probably less than $1000 either way), and the normal "tax/title/reg" costs wherever you register it... As for this last step, CARCO actually set up to get a "US title" for me as part of their process... It was from a dealer in Illinois, so when I took it to Arizona's MVD, the titling/registration was just a state-to-state title change to them... took 20 minutes total.

For more specifics on my saga, see the posts I did here at IH8MUD a month back or so, at...

Anyway, if it didn't mean trying to explain to the wife yet another mysterious trip to Canada with $10K, and returning with another diesel "beast", I'd be all over this opportunity. :D

Go Diesel! :cool:
 
Well, to whet yer appetites a bit, he just emailed me to thank me for letting y'all know about it and tell me he's getting into that "must sell" state of mind.
He's buying another Cruiser, but I din't think to ask what it is.
