Purchasing 1982 FJ60 imported from Colombia

[Udelcor]

First time on this forum. Looking to purchase a 1892 FJ60 that was imported from Colombia. Now fully plated in Florida. Only 125k kms and seems in excellent original condition. Asking price is $25k. Appreciate any thoughts from folks that would know better. Good price or too expensive?

25k buys you a pretty nice USA spec 60 series...in my opinion.

Can't comment on the price without a ton more info. But have you inspected it personally? Look at all the regular stuff you'd look at with any old cruiser. Get a bondo meter or paint thickness gauge and check the body, thoroughly. As someone who's bought quite a few vehicles in Colombia, that would be my advice.

Tks for the replies!
Question - imported FJ60's should carry a discount in price vs US models or it does not really factor in?

depends on if your import has a diesel motor, or barn doors or jump seats or a factory winch and it’s condition.
