Wassup MUD,
4 years ago, I was looking for my first car. I was able to find a local man selling a clean, unlocked, 180k miles '93 FZJ80 for 4,000 dollars. I bought it, have daily driven it and put another 30k miles on the clock. I love this truck, it has been very reliable. However I have been wanting more power. With 80 series rapidly appreciating over the last few years, would it make sense just to take some profit on my FZJ80 and use it to help buy a preowned 200 series or LX570?? I am just worried I am going to miss my 80 too much if I sell though. As much as I want more power, I am worried about losing the charm of the 80. I don't do any heavy rock crawling just using mostly as a daily driver. I put a picture of her below.
With 80 series prices skyrocketing, would it make sense to sell the 80 and buy a preowned 200 Series/LX570 for 20k-25k? I feel that I could get in the ballpark of 11k-15k for my FZJ80. My brain is telling me to go with the 200, but my heart is saying to stick with the 80.
