Out of state buyer - looking for someone to check out an fj60 in charleston

[Reesedanger]

I found an fj60 on Craigslist that I'm interested in buying, I'm just looking for someone in the area that could go look it over for me before I make the 8 hour drive up from Alabama. It's got some rear quarter panel damage and I'd like someone to be able to check it out and make sure it hasn't affected the frame... And to check the standard mechanical issues.

Reply or text, thanks.

We've got quite a few 60's out here. Just curious, does it belong to a Mud member? @dbenke @southerncruiser62 @collk22 (probably still out of town on an epic adventure) @mmacpherson @Brock

I don't think so, it's a guy named Matt. I think he splits his time between charleston, sc and Charlotte, nc. He keeps his 60 in charleston and isn't there enough to drive it, apparently. Here it is.

And here's the rear quarter panel damage.

I looked at the ad on Craigslist, there wouldn't be any frame damage from that body damage.
It looks pretty clean, although he didn't show the wear on the edge of the front seat, which they all have.
It also didn't have rust in the usual spots. very uncommon here. Price doesn't seem bad, but unless you are able to do the body work yourself, that can get pretty expensive. That rear fender will have to be pulled backwards and then hammered straight. You can do most of that with a strap and a tree.
Have you talked price?? Offer him $2500.00 and go up to $3k.
other that that, It seems like a nice truck.

^^Ditto, not a bad deal if it runs and stops
