FJ80 checked it out yesterday, Value? (1 Viewer)

Checked out an FJ80 yesterday, it was close and cheap so I went to see it. My wife had a 1994 FJ80; which I still miss. Anyway, the body was straight, frame rust free. Missing center council and overall poor condition, asking $6750. Front calipers leaking, AC missing belt runs and drivable. The 4X4 worked and had locking center differential. Two dings on body and clear coat gone. Cloth interior in presentable condition and carpet was overall in fair condition. Way over my head since I'm not a mechanic, but curious if somebody here would be interested or is it overpriced in that condition? To my eyes it looked presentable and I really like the FJ80s, if I knew how to do my own work I maybe would try to buy it. Anyway if somebody is interested it's on Craigs List Orange County, CA.

So was it a FJ80 or a FZJ80? Can tell by the year. Leaking calipers is concerning. If they leak, what else is wrong?

Sounds overpriced. But hard to tell without any photos or any maintenance history.

Wait, are you asking because you are thinking of purchasing or or you posting for someone to buy it. The latter is not allowed in the tech section. If you are interested like said prior, we need more information and photos always help people assess a vehicle (you would be surprised of what can be determined from some good photos).

Was wondering if it was a buy, I decided against the FJ80 it's way over my ability to repair it. To all thanks for the input.

It's worth whatever someone will pay for it.
