No affliation -
How can you drive a Cruiser 16K miles in 20 years?
Anyone out there in Texas know anything about this one?

 

[gen2600]

That's pretty incredible, I bet it still has that new car smell.

I wonder if they want to part it out

 

[Tapage]

Wooou !

Pretty new .. I never thought in wheel this Cruiser .. it's just for a museum

 

[macneill]

Wow is right!

 

[PAFJ]

Nice... but too much moola!

 

[D'Animal]

There has to be a story on why it only has 15k miles on it. I wonder if they found it in a barn in Norway?

I think I would pay that kind of money for a clean low mile cruiser, in fact I would take this any day over a FJ Cruiser, which would probably run me about $10,000 more. I say Go For It! I would like to hear some story about why it has such low miles, and I would want to see them documented. I just went through this a couple of years ago with a Porsche 911T. What you are buying is the odometer reading; so is the car A) Collectable and B) documented?

My 1995 SE-V6 Nissan 4x4 King Cab Pick-up has 9,200 miles on it, no rain or snow ever!

not to be a buzzkill or anything, but wouldnt the seals and hoses probably still be all getting ready to crack and leak as soon as you start driving it? or is it the heat and moisture that do it, not the air?

 

[land crusher]

True. A vehicle that has sat idle for 20 years is going to have it's own problems.

I think this is the type of vehicle that a CCOT or TLC will pick up, go over, replace gaskets/hoses/etc. and sell to someone for 35K.
If only money were not a limiting factor . . .

My 05' Tacoma has more miles than that thing.

I downloaded the picture of the engine bay.

Gives me something to strive for.........

Yah the rubber still ages.

I would need to see proof of the miles, like servicing receipts, etc.

The pictures in the ad are very impressive though. Maybe it was in a bubble somewhere.....crazy

I'd just need to see the side of the driver's seat. I think the wear kicks in around 20K.

 

[rover67]

wow. just wow. look at the frame shot..

yes but it is still amazing

 

[CruisinFJ60]

honestly if i had the money i would buy it... go over everything and replaces hoses and belts tires seals then drive it for the next 200,000 miles. rebuild the motor or do a swap then another 200,000.

 

[Winston]

I can't believe it only has 1 bid. I know its early, but . . .
Maybe it's too intimidating to bid on - or you don't want to get your hopes up and then get outbid with 5 seconds to go
It sure is fun dreaming -

 

[Yota95]

Call me crazy but the frame shot looks like fairly new paint over some pitting,take a GOOD look.

 

[mtb_rider]

Original tires? Wow. Unless it has been inside in the dark I would think they are all checked and cracked up. Sitting isn't good for them. The ad doesn't give much history about whether it has been in a garage for 20 years not moving, or just driven regularly, but very, very little. Only 16k. Crazy makin.
