Looks like your a handy guy that could your own work. So the question is could you buy a 200k rig and install these mods and get it up to good mechanical condition for considerably less? I think so if you do your own labor.

Then again what is your time worth and how much extra ti,me do you have? Or want to spend?

I have an elderly parent that is end of life I support so between that and the demands of my job I no longer have the time. I am really looking for a 96, 97 and would prefer airbags and leather, maybe the price would more in line then.

Thanks for the reply, I am really just starting the search and trying to get a sense of the market from the experts.
 
I can see where a already built 80 makes sense for you. Remember to check lx450 too, I seem to forget to chk the Lexus side.
 
I would say it is a little high, but not crazy. If you value all the mods, then you are pretty close to that number. The problem I had when looking at built rigs is 1) I didn't want exactly what they built, so some of the value was lost on me, and 2) a built rig is likely to have harder miles on it.

Agreed, I may just go for stock and the bolt on angle, lift and sliders as that is all I would really need. Then give it to Murf for the maintenance.
 
Sad day - Chuy selling the 80 :(

1. agree, but the goodies have good resale value.
2. Not necessarily, a lot of people build these things and keep them as street queens.

Some one who has built a rig likely knows his way around it, so it's likely had good care. I agree with Phil, OBD1 would be a deal killer for me.

1) That's a lot of work to end up with a stock 80 and with no savings
2) Who are you calling a :rainbow: :flamingo::princess::redface:

:flipoff2:

My 80 had all Slee stuff when I bought it. I removed ,sold it, replaced it with what I wanted and put change in my pocket. Slee accessories have the best resell value of any aftermarket manufacture I have found.

No doubt you can sell the parts. The point I was making is that paying $12k then selling the front bumper for $800 and the rear bumper for $2000 leaves you with a locked 80 with a $1000 lift that you paid (net) over $9000 for and you now have no front or rear bumpers. It's not that great a deal and a lot of work to end up there. I know, I know there are sliders and extended brake lines too....

edit. and it still isn't white..drop mic walk off

I made the wise decision :crybaby: and decided to stick with plan A and take the extra money and continue to pay down my mortgage. I could not justify turning it into play money with my short and long term goals, 4.5 years left.
