craigslist Clean 84 FJ60 in Portland OR

Location

United States

Tried to buy this truck but ended up being a few hundred dollars away from what I needed it to be and what he thought it was worth. The guy seemed pretty upfront and honest about the condition and needs of the truck and indulged me when I asked him for a bunch of extra pictures.

If I can't close the deal maybe someone else here can.

Why don't you indulge us with some pics! (I failed to see any pics on the CL ads).

What color is it and what do you know about its history/condition? (Too lazy to ask the seller)

Ummm...

He's going the wrong direction in the price on the two CL ads!!!!!!!

Yeah, that might have been helpful....

I posted up about it here : https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/376373-looking-buy-cruiser-sight-unseen-need-advice.html

He's made it sound like a clean truck, PNW owned and maintained. Plus points per our conversation: No rust, great shape interior (headliner, seats, dash, carpets), new rad/belts/hoses, all mechanical features are in working order, runs like a top, etc.

Only things that gave me pause were: wear in the cargo area due to his dog, minor leak in front seal (no dripping), a squeal from his smog pump (he removed the belt instead of desmoging as PDX requires emissions inspections, he may fix in the future if he doesn't sell), and that the A/C needs a recharge.

I initially though about keeping it a secret as I didn't see any hits here about this particular truck, but I figure when the time is right I will come across the truck that was always supposed to be mine. I better contribute to the group if I expect you all to help me out in the future.

BM,

Thanks for posting the info and the other thread!

It does look pretty decent and I like the fact that it has not been painted over (body or the frame) which shows its/their true condition for us to see/decide.

It would be nice if it goes to a Mudder's home!

Thanks again!
