Bought an 80 today!

[ben1be]

In Ct.

Been looking a long time for another 62. Found this instead.
107K
one owner, clean carfax, near perfect inside and out, a stack of maintenence/repair records 3/4" thick, shipped up from Texas for the original owners daughter who found it did`nt work for a growing family. No lockers, but everything up here is either showing the effects of the New England winters or was a former lease vehicle that has been through the auction cycle.
I was the first person to look, wrote a check for his asking price. Did`nt get a deal, but think I got a good one.

That color would be far more practical in Florida.....wanna swap for a green one? Nice looking car

Can't really give you the new owner salute...you've got 51 posts already!

On the other hand, welcome to the 80-Series Tech Forum!

So, tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine.

We know you've got 107k miles. Price? (And don't lissin to those wiseguys and their comments about the color of your truck...they're just jealous!)

Again, welcome!

Better get that sig line updated!

Welcome to the wonderful world of the 80 series. Are you spoiled yet?

Paid $10,800...all the service was done by the local Toyota dealer and the p.o. never missed a service... those records sold me.

also it still had the Texas plates on it and theres something about those plates on an 80 that just looks right!

I think you got a great deal. $10,800 is in my book fair for a truck with that mileage and great for one that you know has been taken care of, and on the east coast is rust free. You will likely have far less problems down the road than even a well maintained truck that has been exposed to the salt.

Good truck,the whole pic looks a tone of grey better one in the sunshine. So much smoooother than the 60

Welcome,

You probably want to spend some time in the FAQ for 80's/LX450 sticky thread to see where the rest of your money will be going in modifications.

I couldn't agree more! Welcome to the wonderful world of the 80 series.

I am jealous because you got my exact truck with 18K less miles for $200 less.
But you are correct on not passing up a prestine cruiser with full records. I wanted one with lockers but when it's all said and done having a reliable one goes a lot furhter than one that is broken down with lockers. You need to get to the trails before you can use the lockers.....

Great price for a nice one

I have the same color and paid about the same with 111k on it from my neighbor!
