This one's already been bid way up, but I wanted to post a friendly suggestion to do some serious due diligence on this 62.

I came very close to buying this one back when it first went through BaT three years ago. After it went RNM, I went back and forth with the seller while doing more research. What I was hearing wasn't encouraging, so I walked.

Not saying there's anything underhanded or deceptive going on with the current listing, but before you go dropping the better part of 100 grand, be sure to know the history.


Regarding the vehicle as it stands today:
The current owner replaced the rear headrests that were previously MIA, and has some new (minor) service receipts which is good. Also managed to put 4K miles on the Odo, which is absolutely incredible (to me).

Is this the same truck @BTUMAN owned previously?

High Milage 62- what should I look into?

I have an 89 FJ62 with incredibly high Mileage. The odometer is at 23,196 miles. Should I check the washer fluid? :) Sent from my iPad using IH8MUD Forum

Yes, its me...clearly should have kept it a few more years. I would not have put 11k more miles on it...what were they thinking?

I know there is the 5% winning bid fee that is taken at close of auction however can’t the shame bidder simply cancel their credit card?

The 5% has a max of $5k
