Alright guys, gonna be a helluva first post. And yes I've searched before posting
I've been a lurker for a long time now as I've always loved the TLC. Anyways, I came across a truly original, unmolested, '88 FJ62 with 50,98X original miles. No real fluid leaks except the usual buildup on the birfs. There is no body or frame rust whatsoever (SW car). The interior is in immaculate condition. The PO was an old man who documented everything to the T about the vehicle (every time he drove it he recorded the miles driven, mpg, etc. He also has all service records (I couldn't believe it). All the glass is good and the PW work. The truck runs, drives and smogged fine.
Now for the bad. In his old age, he has run it into a few things on the passenger side . The passenger side front quarter panel will need work, as will about 4 other areas.
My question is what is the vehicle worth? I'm looking for analytical answers here, not subjective. I know it's worth what anyone or I'll pay for it, but I've never come across an FJ40, 45, 60, 62, etc with this kind of documentation. The seller is asking 13.5K. I was shocked. What do yall think? I've got pics in pdf form, but can't upload them here.
