Hi, all!
I am looking into buying a UZJ100 to replace my ‘94 FZJ80 as my daily driver. (Keeping the 80 – the 100 will be an addition).
My price range in in the $10-$11k range. Most Cruisers in this price range that I’ve seen here in the PNW on Craigslist have about 210-250k miles on them.
My mother drives a ‘06 Cruiser that I did plan to buy from her once she upgrades to a 200... But it’s looking like she’s going to keep it for a while longer & I’m really wanting to replace my 80 DD with a newer more comfortable DD.
My question is – is that TOO many miles? The V8 is a super reliable motor, correct? I’ve heard that these motors can get 500k out of them... but I wanted to hear from you guys and get your advice.
Is a ‘98-‘07 with over 200k miles still a good buy?
I know maintenance history is the most important thing with these higher mileage Cruisers. I’m imagining that the timing belt is one of the bigger repairs to do on 100 with over 200k miles...
Thanks in advance for the input/advice!
Pic for attention (my 80 and my mother’s 100).
