I'm impressed that you talked him down from the already ridiculously low price of $2,700. I'm starting to look at 80s but need to sell my 60 first. I need to get it cleaned up and washed before taking photos and starting to put the details out there. I sure hope I can get more for it than you paid for this 80
Did you at least give him a reach around! What a smoking deal! That price gives you plenty of room for upgrades! I think I've seen that rig before. Nice job
I'm still kickin' myself 
I could of had a rig with more power, better brakes, and AC that worked... dang.

Sweet deal
But now you have 3 gas guzzlers
And an audi with a 1.8L turbo that gets up and goes when i need it, but still gets 30mpg on the freeway.
Nice snag. Looks like the headlamps have a plastic film on them that's yellowing or is that a reflection? Anyhow if its the thick vinyl, they can be peeled off and the resulting goo left on the lenses cleaned with 3M's Adhesive Remover spray - about $10 at any auto paint/trim store. Spray to soften, use a scraper, repeat. Use rubber gloves as the goo stinks like an old tent for some reason.

It's just the plastic film. I think it will come off pretty easy.
suppa deal 
WOW! I've seen a '97 80 with 30K original miles for sale for 35K, your deal beats that one by a country mile!! 
j/k
Congrats! I'd do exactly the same as you did, if I had a chance.

Gee, guess what, an underpowered pig with 200K+ miles with fuel prices at over $4/gallon that needs some work is practically worthless. Try selling one and see how it turns out. I keep laughing (sorry 
) when I see these things listed for $15K because they are modified.
I'm going to keep watching and see if I can pick up a relatively nice one for my wife for well under $5K. It won't be long.
Hell, if I give it another year an '03 100 will be down below where 80's were 2 years ago.
I wish now was when I was buying vs. 3 years ago, I could have gotten 2 for the price of one and had no car payments at all.

Not a bad looking rig. I'd be jealous, but Id have no where to put it. At least it fell into the right hands.
I like your Lexus too.
