$3-4k too much. I won't hesitate to buy one with 160k, but that's a lot of money for one with that many miles.

If they don't know assume it hasn't. I'd say $13k would be a deal and $14.5k would be average, however your description of the wear/tear sounds more than typical.
We haven't talked price yet. It's family, so I don't want it to be awkward and don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth if it's a good initial offer. However, I wasn't really in the market for a vehicle either. I guess under NADA is a good piece of advice.
I'd be happy with, "Sell your truck and give us whatever you get for it." It's an '02 Ram 1500 Quad, equivalent mileage and condition. Then again...I wouldn't mind having a little left over for the modding budget
Yep! That's a great deal. The mileage is only half it's design life so you've got a long way to go.
Hey 'mudders, I'm looking at a 2006 LC with 91k at a local Honda dealer, one owner listed for $28,900. It looks to be everything I've been searching for, color, condition, miles, etc.
The only thing is, it seems to have this problem going on: https://forum.ih8mud.com/100-series-cruisers/350225-vibration-while-stopped-light-gear.html
I'm mechanically inclined (used to be a mechanic), so I can fix the issue myself, and use it as a way to drive the price down, but there are a couple of things that concern me: 1. They've had the truck about a month at this point, and roughly 2 weeks ago, they dropped the price $3k, down from $31,900, which was the same time a PPI was done at the Toyota dealer up the street. 2. The sales person told me (after test driving it again today, and me noticing the vibration) "Two other potential buyers spent the $200 to have PPIs done, and everything checked out, but they both didn't buy based on price."
This all sounds a bit fishy to me, but it may just be related to the vibration, and the truck could otherwise be perfectly fine (salesperson gave me a copy of dealer service records, and nothing freaked me out). I guess I could just have my own PPI done, but if two other people had them done, it seems like a waste, and maybe I should just move on and keep looking.
Opinions?

Can you get them to throw in a warranty to cover your risk?
What does everyone think of a set of ARB bumpers front and back for $1700? They are already painted white to match a blizzard pearl LX like mine.
The front is the ARB Sahara Bull Bar with polished chrome loop and black buffer kit.
The ARB Rear Modular Bumper with Tow Hitch has the blanks installed.
#1 if this was on a 2003 LX470 I shouldn't have any problem putting it on my 2001 right?
What does adding the rear swing outs typically cost? I'm thinking two swingouts, for a wheel holder and potentially jerry can holders.

Sounds a little high to me but these are great vehicles and depending on where you live prices fluctuate. I'm sure this thread will get moved but check out this part of the forum:

Nope you aren't crazy at all (you are on a LC forum, after all...). Price is a tad high but not outlandishly so. If you got them down to 13k that would be a great deal. Just be prepared to take a hit in the power department going from the 5.7 in the Tundra to the 4.7 in the Hundy. Worth the trade off though IMO - the LC is a more capable vehicle.
Just be careful if the rig spent any amount of time in a rust belt/rust prone state...

seems considering condition. I got my 2000 w/ 80k miles worn leather but perfect interior and almost perfect interior for $14500. It has some rust underneath but I was told it didn't from the seller and the dealer that inspected it for me. Bring a flashlight to check for rust underneath.
Amazing what a detail can do, it cleaned up nicely, I went ahead and bought it for $14800, working on some of the details bit by bit, most of it I can fix for cheap.
I found the antenna fix thread and the subwoofer fix thread. I am investing in good interior and exterior lighting and brakes. I don't want to risk not changing all the fluids so I'm going to have that done. The front passenger side CV boot is leaking a little grease so I'm getting pfran's clamps and will squirt a little extra grease under it before sealing it up.
I do hear a little rattle when I'm braked at a stoplight in gear, almost like an exhaust rattle.
Hope this is the right place for this. I just bought a cruiser local to me, but I had intended to buy this one: 2001 UZJ100
It seemed like a decent deal, and a decent truck. If anyone else is interested give them a call.
I am not affiliated with the dealer in any way, just thought they had good customer service and I won't be buying the truck so I passed it along to others.

Check your cat heat shields. The tack welds on mine had gone out and it made a noise like you describe.
confused about paint color.......
Am shopping for a 1999 100 series with white exterior and am seeing 2 versions.
One version has matching white paint below the rubber/plastic trim moulding that runs along the side and another version has this area painted a color that matches the trim and the wheel well arches.
Whats up with the differences?
