Introducing myself and my buggy, Hi! (2 Viewers)

[SarahChellis]

Hello, I'm Sarah and I'm mostly just here because we will be selling our fj62 and I need more information and a mechanic to look at it. So I may make a few posts asking for advice and will likely make a post when we're ready to sell (once I figure out the right thread to do so, haha). Happily already found a list of local mechanics here in this forum, so there's my biggest question answered.

I'm grateful this forum exists, it's been so helpful already. Anyway, here's a pic of our buggy, she's as old as I am (1989).

I forgot to add that I'm in Portland, OR.

When you are ready to sell you'll want to post an ad here FJ60 | FJ62 | BJ60 | HJ61 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/fj60-fj62-bj60-hj61.330/

The section where these current posts are is the tech section.

That makes sense! Thanks. I just need to find someone to help me figure out what to charge and also give me a detailed list of issues so I can write an honest ad. I will be calling mechanics tomorrow to see if this is something they can help with.

I recommend Land Cruiser Specialties in Oregon City.

Thanks, I'll make sure to get lots of photos after I give it a good scrub.

Yeah, I contacted them and received a response that I'll be replying to shortly- they are a little far to tow to so I'm trying to find someone who can come to me, but they are top of my list. It's drivable but there are some acceleration issues and abnormal shaking so I don't want to risk further problems by driving it very far.

Want to sell it as is?

Yeah, we don't have a ton of fluid cash so won't be able to fix major issues before selling, unfortunately. Might change our minds depending on the advice of the mechanic. Like, if it would be worth a lot more to fix it up then we might try to find a way. But as it is, it could be a decent project car and could probably have quite a bit of life left in the right hands.
