Quick preface, im deployed down in Bogota, Colombia for a 3-5 year tour. One of my goals was to find a solid FJ to buy, restore and bring back home as my car.
Finally, after 2 years of a lot of searching, negotiating, deals falling through and finding some real terrible cars I was able to find one that fit my budget, was in the best shape and not insanely priced. All Toyotas down here are now very expensive. When I was down here 6 years ago they were half the price. I bought this one for just under $10k, by the way. And for the state this car was in and checking my boxes: late model, ambo doors, stock 5-speed and minimal rust and issues. The only thing that would've made this deal better would be if it was a 3FE and not just a stock 3F. Anyway, im attaching pictures for the Collective to pick apart.
