Guys I'm tapping out, should I fix small cosmetic issues or just sell her as is?

[ozarkmud]

That is a real shame to sell it, but understandable. Looks like a beautiful rig that you should be proud of. I doubt the tiny details are going to be that critical for a sale.

My apologies it took so long for the followup fellas, I have had ZERO free time lately worse than it's ever been in my life. I really appreciate you guys helping me come up with a number on her.

She's not dolled up at all she definitely would clean up a lot better but I got some basic pics and I made a list of work done. I added a lot of small things but I wanted to be thorough, believe me I could have added a hundred more small things if I really wanted to. Here it is:


Baselined 2 years ago, all fluids changed, greased, lubed and all that good stuff religiously. I keep an excel sheet for it, have been using Mobil 1 10w-30 and I undercoated her before each winter….used clear film not black to hide things. For being a Midwest truck she shockingly has no real underbody issues.

Known issues

I just had her fully inspected and the report revealed the oil pan is leaking as is the PS pump. I have the parts, a new PS pump and hoses, and I was going to get it done along with the other issues but instead have decided to sell. Parts are included

P0770 Code came on a few weeks ago, it never came back but I bought a new transmission solenoid anyway, also included

Wheels need to be balanced

I have an intermittent steering wheel squeak/rubbing type sound. Inspection showed it to be the rubber in the boot and was told there was no need to address it.

Common rust in corner of rear hatch window, I had this treated when she was painted but it’s there



Cosmetic crap:

Windshield buckeyes

Common crack in dash at center of steering wheel, not a bad one but it’s there

Rear badging is misaligned

Rear bumper needs to be adjusted, low on one side

Steering Wheel has a nice stitched wrap on it, I’ve never removed it I’m assuming it doesn’t look too good under there

What do you guys think? Thanks again fellas...

Looks pretty tidy. Can't imagine you having any trouble selling it.

Thanks mud I appreciate that brother, you got any idea on a reasonable number?

 

[mudgudgeon]

Can't help you with a number, unless you'll take Aussie pesos

Am in Australia, I don't have a gauge on US pricing.
Sorry

Ahh I see, sorry brother should have caught that

@Francis K it's hard to say. AFAIK there isn't a huge market for old Land Cruisers in Michigan like there is out west, so it might be tough to find a buyer. Also, people seem to be holding onto their money these days, so it can be heard to find cash buyers in general. It looks very clean, but the bumpers, armor, and fenders may narrow your audience somewhat to those looking for a built Cruiser.

Do you have compression and/or leak down results? That'd give me a good idea of the engine's health as a buyer.

In any case, I'd list it for $20k on the classifieds here and the Land Cruiser Marketplace group on FB and see what kind of responses you get.

Take that hi-lift jack off.... It'll make you change your mind about selling the truck.
