We're seeing ridiculous pricing coming from some not-so-ridiculous builds, and also ridiculous pricing coming from some clean builds but also unscrupulous sources.
So, 80-series enthusiasts - what constitutes an 80 build that can command such ridiculous pricing?
Here's some "high-end" examples (I was on an LX450 kick to match my LX470 100...but LC's are similar):
'97. No triple-lock. 113k miles. "Built." Seemingly excellent condition. $34.3k.

'97. No triple-lock. 156k miles. "Built." Seemingly excellent condition. $43k.

'97. No triple-lock. 85k miles. Stock (except new tires). Painted over rust/underbody, without a doubt. But...those miles. $26.9k
