The '97 is too expensive IMO.

Was gas nearly $4.00 a gallon? hehehe

It always blows me away when guys on the board say 9,000 is too much for an 80. If they only knew what they were going for here in Cali.... And once you have one how could you be mad what you paid for it....

11.2 still no regrets

Same here. The only one we found was a '97 w/ 84k miles. They were asking $22k!

If that '91 is in descent shape, it would make a great "starter rig". Under $7k seems like a great price.

I drove to Sacramento to get ours. It was well worth the drive.

I haggled a small car lot in Santa Ana for mine for over a month. They were asking $19,200 (Blue Book) back in 11/05. Mine was pretty ripe with only 84K, but $19,200 Once I let them know that I knew they had it on their lot for 7 or 8 months and I showed them a check (for much less than they were asking) with their name on it, they bit.

The problem with my black one is that I got such a GREAT deal on my white one back in 8/05 that when we started looking for a second one (with lockers) we could not come withing thousands of the deal we first got. Finally I just had to pay up to get what I wanted.

Best decision I ever made,

For mine the price reduced without me even haggling. I asked if he could go down in the price at all and he said I am pretty firm at 11.3 and I had the add with 11.8 so $500 more in my pocket worked fro me! Well actually it went back into removing the radiator and re-building the fan clutch the following month.

Same here on the price. I paid $14 k for mine but it was the exact color combo I wanted, no burlwood dash, lockers and was in tits shape with fairly low miles. I look at it as an investment since I will never sell it.

I was actually looking for a 84-85 Mini truck not a LC thinking it was still out of my budget. It wasnt until I saw pictures of them at CCOT and got hooked. Paid a hair over 8K at a Toyota Dealer in '05- pretty much used the mileage, dent and parking scratches, maintenance issues as bargaining tools.

Lots of turn key built up Cruisers for sale now.

Sorry, it was in immaculate well preserved condition by an owner who clearly appreciated this fine motor vehicle. I still have tits on the brain though.

No, this guy is up in Carlsbad. I looked at this LC the day before I bought mine. No lockers, seats, carpet pretty beat up (said PO had a dog)

Not bad. Emissions wouldn't (shouldn't) be a problem.

What really caught me is the available INSTALLED options. Prices aren't too bad for accessories and installation. The IPOR skid plate is the only higher priced item. It's about $200 for installation.
