Wanted: '91-'97 FJ-80 or FZJ-80 in Minnesota

Hello,

I'm looking for a '91-'97 Cruiser. I'd prefer something '95-'97 with dual airbags. I also want something under 150,000 miles and basically stock. I don't care if it has lockers. The market here is pretty lacking, so I figured I'd try to reach out a little. I'm not in a position to be able to go cross-country and drive something back, though if shipping is reasonable I may consider it (but am not too too thrilled about buying a vehicle I haven't even seen). I've tried cars.com, autotrader.com, and carsoup.com and what is around is high miles and/or rediculously high prices.

I just want something basically stock in good shape that doesn't need a bunch of fixes or TLC. I won't mind at all if it's got a TJM or ARB bull bar, but I don't want something lifted with big tires (this will be for my wife, not me!). I'm located in Northeastern Minnesota.

Thanks,

What is your price range?

My budget will top out around $8000-$8500 which will be more than enough for an FJ-80, but I'd like to shoot for an FZJ-80 (preferrably '95-'97). I doubt I'll be able to afford a newer FJZ-80 that's locked, loaded, low miles (under 100k), in mint condition though (at least not from a dealership).
