I looked at an "83 short bed, reg cab mini today and was asked to make an offer. It is as plain as they come; no radio, no p/s, no ac. Truck is in above average condition for age and has 98k miles; miles are actual and it is a one owner. It has a warn winch--low profile, but I didnt get the model number. It has been driven 100 miles or less in the past 12 to 15 months.
Other than the carb needing a little attention, it runs and drives good. No tell tale noises and no excess steering lash. Everything works but the brakes seem weak for p/b.
I talked with the lady last summer but she was not ready to sell the truck then. Now she wants me to make an offer and will not give a clue as to what numbers she may have in mind. I called a dealer and got the story that it was too old for their guide.
I would like to make a decent offer that will be considered but not offer too much. I have spent too many years chasing FJ40's and dont know much about the mini's.
