Hey guys, I'm an enthusiast in Virginia looking to buy my first LC. I've spent a few months reading the forum here from time to time and certain other unnamed forums (okay, Land Rover). I've made up my mind to go the Toyota route and am now having fun seeking out my rig. Anyway, there's a 1996 posted on a Craigslist within easy driving distance, but the seller says it has blue smoke. He's posted the asking price as $6,000 with 150,000 miles. Here's the posting: Toyota Land Cruiser
What I'd like to know is, do you think this is an honest asking price? I see it's within the range of Kelly Blue Book for fair condition but what would I be getting into with the oil leak problem? Is this pretty common and a relatively easy fix or would I be looking at potentially huge problems? Any thoughts are appreciated. But don't be too rough.
