I'm sure Steve could give someone the low down, I remember seeing it in his shop
 
He either meant to put another 'zero' or he is testing the waters to see if a bidding war will ensue. It's mengy and he is looking for high teens.
 
Yup, that's the one. I drove it and it's a nice stocker but he wants close to 17000 (or more). I certainly hope he gets it. Hard-to-find,solid little tanks. Mine has served me well for almost two years as a daily driver and I troll cl but can't find anything I'd rather drive. I love my old school cruiser too much.
 
OK, I know these trucks are getting rare and especially with a low kilometer model that hasn't been molested, but considering the rust issues on this one, being far from perfect and requiring a restoration, which would include patching the rear tub or possibly replacing it if necessary, replacing the front fenders a paint job and maybe work to the frame. Is this really a $17,000 truck? If you want to turn it into a nice, sunday driver truck you're looking at over $5000 in body work and repair/replacing. If you're looking for a nice, clean, rust free truck for light wheeling you're still going to spend over $3000 in body work, maybe more. So now you have a $20,000 truck, which is still stock and has 300,000kms on it. I'm sorry, I don't see it, am I wrong?

No comment on asking price. Mat, it's not a 17000 dollar truck, it's a 22000 dollar truck :)

However, right on queue, an hour later he added that extra zero to the price in the ad title...interesting sales strategy. Wonder if it will work?
 
There is that ONE buyer that will pick this up due to its documented rarity. Hey, it makes the value of ours go up, so I'm not complaining! :)
 
Another 40 owner weighs in. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.
 
Not really what I'd see for valuation either (at $17k or $22k), but then I'm not a collector.
Will say I'm surprised by the frame number, only ~7500 BJ42s built in that 3+ yr run before this one. Considering general market exports, that is less than I expected.
 
Damn you hind sight! I remember when I first moved to Vancouver and looking at a 1984 bj42 in the used section at JP's Toyota dealership in North Van. It would have been only about 10 years old then and I didn't know anything about diesels (still don't, ha!) so I passed on it....
 
bahhhhhh. i LOLed. good key words and some very good valid points. here it is as i'm sure it will be gone soon.:D:D:D



Seriously fxxx Commercial Drive and its fxxxing Commercial Drive-ness.

Fxxx those fxxxing pit bull crosses everywhere and the fxxxing French-Canadians they are attached to.

Fxxx the s*** left on the curb by the fxxxing stank ass hippies who can't even keep their own environs clean, never mind the fxxxing planet.

Fxxx Continental coffee and the fxxxing coffee klatch that takes up the whole fxxxing sidewalk with their tangle of fxxxing mongrel dogs and overloaded SUV fxxxing style mega-strollers.

Fxxx the fxxxing righteous pedestrians who don't understand a fxxxing turn signal and walk anyway.

Fxxx that kilt wearing scooter pushing former courier dress like a fxxxing air-raid siren freak-show.

Fxxx the freak-shows and their fxxxing pincushion arms with ants under the skin and stolen cds in their pockets and fxxxing cup with fxxxing other peoples money in it.

Fxxx those fxxxs on the fxxxing loud Harleys and fxxx that fxxx in the lowered fxxxing yellow truck. Jesus Christ what the hell is that. A stupid fxxxing hobby that's what.

Fxxx the crazy people. Yeah you heard me shuffler. I'm tired of seeing you do your fxxxing laps of commercial drive with that fxxxing buzzed out, shook heads with a hammer look all day. Fxxxing conform and break into houses already you shiftless fxxx.

Fxxx you fxxxing bull dykes. Honestly, looking like a fxxxing lumberjack was never a good look, not even for fxxxing lumberjacks.

Fxxx you people with those fxxxing chains on your wallet. What the fxxx, they're pulling your pants down.

Fxxx those fxxxing Euro-mod-scooter fxxxs who show up from god knows where and infest the sidewalk every now and then.

Fxxx you fxxxing wake and bakes with your fxxxing devil sticks and hoola-hoops. Get off the playground you self-medicated poor rich kids and take your parental financed patchouli stench with you.

Cobs bread you're okay. Except for that fxxxing bell you ring when you've accomplished the unimaginable and baked fresh fxxxing bread in your fresh fxxxing bread bakery.

And while I'm on fxxxing bakeries. Fxxx you Fratelli's and your fxxxing order system that encourages all these Commerical Drive fxxxs to cut lines whereever possible so they can get their half dozen rolls and Happy Birthday Asia/Jasmine/Freedom/some fxxxing deep meaningful Irish or some heritage bull**** name, a full 30 fxxxing seconds before they are supposed to.

Fxxx Wazubee for being so expensive. Fxxx Havana because seriously, fxxx that place. Fxxx the falafel place for the bandaid in the fxxxing falafal - you know who you are.

Fxxx the video rental place for smelling like cat pee. Fxxx the french fry place for being fxxxing frigid.

And holy fxxx, fxxx the whole ******* Broadway Skytrain station into a giant blackhole of magnificent fxxx-offery.
