SOLD Wanted: NC FZJ80 or LX450 (1 Viewer)

Year

1997

Vehicle Model

1. 80 Series

Mileage

12345

I have scoured Craigslist, FB, and the classifieds here, with no luck.
I am interested in a FZJ80 or LX450. (triple locking not required)
I am based in the 919 zipcode.
Model years: 1995-1997

I am looking for a 80 series that has:
limited to no body rust and chassis rust. (A little surface rust in a few places, but no rot)

High mileage (220K and higher) (with documented headgasket replacement)
Or
Under 220k miles.

I would not be too concerned with a vehicle that needs mechanical work.

Strong preference to an unmodified / blank slate, or lightly modified vehicle

Please DM me or post here with what you have.
Strong preference for a local transaction in NC.
Thanks!

What’s the most you’re willing to spend?

What’s the most you’re willing to spend?

I cannot afford what the low mile triple locked pristine builds have been going for recently

top of realistic budget is 12k (for the right cruiser).

Would prefer to buy a unbuilt 80 series for cheaper, and then be able to add some of the fun things to it myself

$12k is not a realistic budget for a rust free triple locked FZJ80/LX450, no matter what the mileage

$12k is not a realistic budget for a rust free triple locked FZJ80/LX450, no matter what the mileage

thats why it is listed as optional in the description

It can be done. I've seen some really nice low mileage Cruisers going for $12K and in excellent condition but those are getting harder to find.

My 1997 is up to 18K for my stupid/can’t resist to sell price. As soon as someone is willing, the price goes up to $23K.

@roflbox I wish you luck in your search. There are still a lot of great cruisers out there at a decent price, it just takes a lot of time and the willingness to move immediately. Read the FAQ for the 80 series and be willing to travel.

 

[roflbox]

I also do not have an aversion to a cruiser that has mechanical issues (head gasket, ETC)

 

[roflbox]

I will be in town this week (27th would be ideal for looking at an FZJ80!)

Bump
Finding one in 6M1 would be cool as well, the vehicle would be named the green bastard to match my profile pic

And done!
