craigslist Is this guy high? $120k FJ40 on CL

Came across this craigslist ad. This guy is asking $120k for a "all original" FJ40. I thought he meant $12k...but based on the way he describes it as "This FJ40 falls into the top 5% of all original land cruisers." I don't think that is the case. Granted if it is actually $12k, this is a STEAL! Here's the ad below:

This FJ40 falls into the top 5% of all original land cruisers.
-Rebuilt motor
-Transmission seals new and gone through
-New clutch and clutch master cylinder
-New radiator, belts, hoses, gear oil
-New brakes and brake master cylinder
-Must see
-Rust free
-New tires
-All original matching numbers
-Truly a rare find!

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

What do you guys think? Is this what a $120k FJ40 looks like?

Why are you insulting me? I did not insult you in any way.

It was meant at spike strip. My bad. This thread is hard to navigate.

All you haters seem more mad about it than I do. Instead of admitting it’s out of your price range you’re trying to bully me to lower my price tag. Just admit you want it and can’t afford it and move along with your keyboard warrior self.

Tell your friends about my FJ I’d love to sell
This museum piece to someone who would appreciate it just as much as I do.

I have two pieces of advice for you.

High and stupid is no way to go through life.
If you find yourself at the bottom of a deep hole with a shovel in your hand... stop digging.

What’s wrong? The lights go out in the basement?

Advice is wasted on guys like this - They know everything and have done nothing.

It’s my post. It’s my FJ40. The OP was pissed because I told him I don’t want his low ball offer. And sent me his number if I shanked my mind. Obviously he wants it. It’s rust free. Some surface but nothing major. Don’t know why he wants to talk s***. If it’s out of his price range then move along. Too easy right?

Hold on a second here. Let's get something straight.

First off - I'm the OP. I am not in the market to buy a FJ40 nor did I reach out to you once. You definitely have me mixed up with someone else. At $12,000 - that's a good buy. At $120,000 - as my title suggests, you gotta be high man.

Yes there are cruisers out there that fetch GOOD money. But unless you've taken the body off the frame, replaced EVERY single nut and bolt, OEM stickers and taken the TIME to do all of this you have an almost 50 year old car that's not worth anymore than $15,000. Look at @MScruiser's olive FJ40. Complete time capsule/period restoration that is as nice as an FJ40 can get and his asking price is $60k - and worth every cent of that but I'm sure someone will negotiate him down.

Nobody is hating on it because they're jealous of the cruiser. Nobody's really hating on it at all, it is a nice 40. But $120,000 for it? Man you're out of your mind.

Lol - I could buy a super clean fj45 longbed and fill the bed with hookers and red stripe and come out $80k ahead !!!!

Obviously what we have here is a Hollywood out of work actor thinking some Movie Exec with more money than brains will jump at this before his acne clears up and he can land a commercial bit and move out of skid row,

This guys is smoking more than weed, most likely crack- which is why he is so delusional.
Uneducated and ignorant of the market for Fj40’s.

 

[SEAWOLF]

Who really cares? Some rich person could come along and snap that up in 2 minutes without even blinking...you never know...I believe that is the angle the seller is trying to play.

Also...think about Craigslist...almost everything I've ever sold has been lowballed, etc. Even if someone came along and thought they were 'stealing it' for half the posted amount ($60k) he would be making a sizeable profit.

Crazy for MUD, yes. Crazy for Craigslist...I've seen worse.

I think the 'rebuilt engine' devalues it by at least $40k, lol.

 

[Spike Strip]

Why would someone place a picture of a picture on an ad? Think about it.

 

[74bigred]

This cruiser would sell for less than $20k If listed on a no reserve auction on eBay, I assure you. I’ve seen nicer fj40s sell for less than $20k on no reserve. Front bumper is not even OEM, among other things. Fj40s from late 60’s are not all that strong in the market. Fj40’s from late 70s and early 80s are strong in the market. He is only wasting his time with that dreamworld price. Trying to get a sucker to bite. He’s only asking $105k too much.

I have a question....... What is the true value of this truck........ Could he get $30,000 for it.

$30K will get you a very nice '76-80 FJ40 with front discs, barn doors, 2F and maybe even a few upgrades.

Your answer is would you pay $30 grand for 3-spd column shift truck? We don't even know the mileage cuz the seller won't say or show key details. There's a reason for that.

 

[74bigred]

Maybe $30,000 pesos in Chile! Not Dollars.

Hope I can find a nice one for 30k....

If he's asking $120,000 and he thinks it's reasonable, take it easy on him. He must be into it for at least $110,000 and only wants to make a quick $10k.

 

[Drake2]

He must have written the For Sale ad an hour after leaving a Colorado Dispensary.......cause he's higher than a kite
