I didn't realize door locks were a option on the 80 series. But checking the Ebay auctions it seems 4WD was also a option.:rolleyes:

So what is the 80 worth? It does have only 51K miles but who is going to spent that much on a 80 and then wheel it, plus no locker. In 97 you would be better to find a low 40th or even better a collectors edition for kind of money.

A couple 80's with low miles recently sold for ~$20K but they were locked. My guess would be 15k-17k. It is the correct color, white:D

Does seem strange. Thought third row seats, pop out rear windows and rear air were a package. As much as the back seats the middle row gets the advantage of rear air. As clean as this 98 looks with low mileage I wouldn't buy after having a 100 series with rear air. But I would rather find a 80 series anyway.

STOP ~



....you had me at dorkle :hillbilly:
 
So.....Im surfing on the couch last night and like most of us CL geeks here, i wandered over to CL.

To my suprise, I see a 1995 80 posted up last night at 5pm for $1800.00 (yes, Im sure you called on it also). The girl says its WHITE, body in good condition, but no AC, oil leak (shock!), and no radio. Also one of the rear slider windows was broken out. Drives and shifts just fine - new brakes too.

I called about 2 hours after she posted and she said she couldnt show the truck until 4pm the next day (today). I called back a few minutes later and asked if I come over to their house right now and see it. "Im not home" was the reply. :hhmm:

I knew it was all over at that point. With probably 20 phone calls last night (~ 18 from CSC'rs :lol:) I knew if I didnt see it that night she would pull the ad after realizing all the interest.

Guess what? The ad is pulled this morning.

SO...who bought it already? or prepare for it to resurface for thousands more....:doh:

Oh well, I dont need another LC anyway...youd think I was Medtro or something :flipoff2:
 
you have too much time on your hands :hillbilly:

Sorry I saw
Steering wheel on the wrong side
Stinks
Required shifting
Sticking to the seats in the summer...cold and hard in the winter
No tailgate to cook on or sit
White :confused: do real 80's come in anything else?
Snorkel is very cool but the mass amounts of rust canceled it out
 
Sounds like an ad I responded to a long time ago. They wanted me to send them the $$$, and THEN they would ship me the rig. It was temporarily out of town. I suggested that I could fly to where the rig was parked to check it out and drive it back here, but that was the end of the discussion. Hmmmmm?!?!?!?!

Steering wheel on the wrong side --Sweet if your a postman.
Stinks--Don't know of any good smelling exhaust.
Required shifting --Free exercise.
Sticking to the seats in the summer...cold and hard in the winter-- Easy cleaning.
No tailgate to cook on or sit-- Easier to load/unload.

But Phil I thought you were the most interesting man in the world. As such it would only make sense for you to drive the most interesting 80.

Phil may not always drive a Land Cruiser, but when he does its white and has a snorkel.

:D

Are you saying the seller should have sent you onto an airplane heading to the furthest city from Phoenix in USA?
