craigslist Dreamer of the week

1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 Full Size 4X4 2F

"RARE full size 1984 North-American spec Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 for sale. VERY SOLID. Western truck, just shipped in. Starts right up. Runs good. Needs a good detailing and a paint job to be perfect. Clear title in hand. These FJ60 cruisers are in HIGH DEMAND these days and regularly sell for over $40,000 when finished. Very easy light project or drive as-is while it appreciates in value."


Wow, gotta love CL ads. Asking price on this one is $17,500 and thats probably about $14,000 too high. The wheels alone should be an indication of the problems with this vehicle.

As any given vehicle suddenly starts to sell for decent money the incentive for the unscrupulous to make a quick $ goes up and they start coming out of the woodwork. Every yahoo with a rusted out cruiser suddenly thinks they are made out of gold...and most are made from lead.

After several iterations on Craigslist.....each reducing the actual value....and each raising the asking price....and a run on Ebay where details of the truck were written with an optimistic hand, photos did there best to hide the issues, and detailed questions to the seller were responded to with things like "Sorry I'm out of the country"....the beast that launched this thread has gone dark. Will be watching to see when/where/if it resurfaces.

It's still on craigslist in some locations not philly though.

That guy is a dreamer if I've ever seen one!

Gotta give it to him though for apologizing at the end...something that is a) hard to do and b) so rarely ever happens

He made it right in my book. It takes a lot of self-discipline/insight to admit your mistakes. No matter how bad you screwed up if you can take the time to self reflect and admit your faults, it means you’re not a total a**.

This one keeps popping up. I feel like it might have been posted on mud at one point. Not sure I’d call it a hybrid.

It looks like that roof is about to come off! Sheeshus I wouldn't pay over $700 for that thing personally...

Tried to delete my first post

 

[psuarez00]

I emailed him and offered less than $5K but he said he had someone that offered him $5K and that he was going to drop the price every month by $200 until it hit $5K before he takes that offer

 

[spanto]

I've been watching that one as well. Will be interested what he finally takes for it.

The interior on that is actually not too bad, and the rust is salvagable. I'd say it's worth a rescue.

But definitely not for close to $6k...it's worth $3k all day.

Agreed 100%. However I think there is a good chance the seller will get around $5k for it. Its down in that range where the price curve crosses the new owner desire curve and that point creates the justification for said new and perhaps not well informed buyer with more lust and desire for a 60 they can afford than knowledge about actual value.
