bj70 for sale..mine maybe

Location

United States

ill try and keep this short and sweet...i buy this bj70 1985 from a kid on vancouver island...its not the 60 i wanted but i love all landcruisers and he was looking to trade for a diesel pickup which i happened to have...needless to say we hook up and inspect each others vehicles and im so excited thinking that this is the one i dont look as close as i should(partially because im a trusting guy and think everyone else is the same...HA). i get home and after a day or so of checking things out i realize that he totally lied to me and there is alot more work than i am ready for right now(im a stay at home dad and use this to transport junior around) so i cant have it on blocks for a week while i do things to it nor unsafe to drive....so the deal is it has 275,xxx km on it...the engine isnt leaking oil and seems fine(a bit sluggish)nor does it burn any... the body is 6/10...the frame is good...but it needs just about every seal and gasket replaced underneath and smells like gear oil all the time...ive started to do all the usual stuff to it checked and replaced all fluids fliters...brakes are new...etc. it seems like the kid just didnt maintain it...its a rad unit i put new tires and rims(interco thornbirds...i know i know..i got them for a steal, it was better than the what was on it and moneys tight so...)overall id say its a 6/10 im wondering what this thing might be worth and did i get hosed...and anyone want to buy or trade for a 60

thanks
jason
