What do you think this Fzj75 is worth ?

The seller told me he may take $30k is that a good deal ?

Do you all see anything that stands out ? Anything particular to check ?

Calls it a HZ instead of a FJ, maybe a simple mistake but…what else is wrong with it? No heat looks like but AC? Looks like original paint so that’s good for checking for rust. Probably worth spending the time money to check it out in person or get someone you trust to check it out. I would personally wait for a 79 now that they can be imported now. The extra cab room would be greatly appreciated

correct it has aftermarket AC. and now they are telling me no OEM parts come with it which has me a little suprised. I got some videos of the underside; no rust. but yes I'm thinking of waiting for the 79. Although I've only seen one 79 for sale in the USA and it's $50k!

 

[pavell]

what would you consider being a "good deal" for it ?

 

[janyyc]

I'd say "run". Terrrrrible paint job, awful interior, fugly rims, non-OEM A/C (without good reason - GCC often had A/C) - can only imagine what else lies in wait... Peruse the IH8MUD classifieds instead and get something decent from a reputable member/seller.

30 seems reasonable, I would really want the OEM parts as the value of repair parts is going up and he may have stuff carbureted specific that you will have to wait weeks to get. No dealer in The us will have parts for that rig except the standard 1fz parts.

I owned that truck - it was great. Not perfect by any means, and that flaking paint is unfortunate but not surprising given the general quality of the Saudi repaints. I paid more than $30k and then bought most of the extra parts. He paid a pretty penny for it and then did the custom interior (love it or hate it, it's new). At $30K, I'd buy it back (with the parts stash).

That’s incorrect. Most 7x series parts are available through normal US supply chain with HS-7 documentation.

That’s what I get for assuming! Thanks for the correction.

Hmm I’m getting completely opposite advice here now haha. The owner has now said no parts come with it. So I think it’s still priced a little high

 

[bj70bc]

30 and your ok, but its not a deal, his asking 38 is too high

I was under the impression that any 1998+ was a 5 lug and coil spring, but I am often wrong.

I’m gonna say that starts with the 1999 model year, with the switch to the 79 series, but I’m no expert

That's right. I was confusing 97 and 99.

That spare tire location…

Shag Astro turf for a bed liner?

$30k is a lot for a leaf sprung carbureted work truck that is pushing 30yrs old. It is one of the last years of removable top & folding windshield though.

Cheers
