Recommendation for Pre Purchase Inspection - Northeast Dallas (1 Viewer)

[spamaaron]

Hi All,

I'm looking at purchasing an FJ40 located in the Northeast Dallas area. I'm in California so I would be buying site unseen. Does anyone have a recommendation for a mechanic that could be a good set of eyes for me?

Thanks!

If you can't find anyone, see if the seller is willing to do a 360 and top to bottom (underside) video and send it to you.

what year?
Will it pass smog in CA?
original drivetrain?

Will it pass smog in CA? Thats probably the most important question and biggest unknown.

It’s 1975, so no smog checks required. Yes, it has the original drivetrain.

Thank you for the suggestion. Definitely going to request a video either way.

I'd check out the Club Houses in Texas... you may be able to find someone in those parts. They may not frequent the 40 series page as much, but could still know Cruisers well.
