Hello everyone, new to this forum and new to land cruiser ownership. OK I already took the leap on a FZJ80 1994 with k294 on the door tag. I haven't taken possession of it yet as I brought it over the internet at an auction (copart, thoughts and comments on copart are totally unrelated to truck but I've been buying from them for years ) I won it for 1000, but fees and shipping have me in it for 2000 total (still not bad but hold on). It stated "runs and drives " but good luck on it actually being fully running and driving if you know copart, but like I said I've had really good luck with them. I honestly didn't realize it, but it has a salvage title as I only bid on clean title cars, but somehow I bid and ended up winning this particular truck. So running the VIN the car has had about 5 or 6 owners and did most of it's miles early on (has 246 on the clock) . It's an Ohio truck so I'm expecting rust but hoping for minimal (one picture shows rust but hey also shows signs of primer so I'm hoping for a few good owners in it's past) . And funny thing is that the car gained it's salvaged status on Jan 31 of this year. My guess is that it was donated to copart and they can't sell used cars to unlicensed buysers (as I'm not a dealer ) so it gets salvaged and then the public can buy (looked up some legislation that was recently passed in Ohio for this exact purpose, as the car has no physical damage). It's missing the end caps of the front and rear bumpers and looks like the rugs are removed. It has a snorkel. The only visible rust is on the lower rear, right behind the tire. Slavage doesn't bother me cause I've always wanted one and at this price point I'm good, and resale won't be as much but again it's just like passing on the savings . I should take dilvery buy this weekend or Monday the latest. Can't wait to see what headache I got myself into. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, anyone out there recognize it let me know, any keen observers see something I didn't mention again please feel free to let me know
