FJZ80 with 60k miles on CL

New member looking for another cruiser to replace my long gone fj60 and came by this.

I have no affiliation but looks like it could be a good deal for someone willing to do some engine work.

I emailed the guy a few times and doesn't seem to willing with the info. Would not answer why he is not fixing it if its just the HG and the car is in such good condition with such low miles. Something seems not quite right. Maybe its a great deal once fixed.

CA accidents...

not that this is the case, but legally (as it was about 5 years ago)...any accidents w/ $500 or more in damages had to be reported to the state/DMV... so a shopping cart could have been hit basically or it could have been worse....

 

[desertdude]

Point taken - but his add reads:

"The SUV has never been in any accidents and has clean tittle. Its VIN is JT3DJ81W9P0015188 for CarFax check".


he must have missed that in the car fax...

He says 180.00 at a dealer to replace the HG. Does he mean the parts?
