What would you pay for an imported cruiser? (1 Viewer)

[AdamFire]

Good afternoon,

I will be working in Australia this coming winter for a few months again. Last time around I fell in love with the FJ75s. This time around I plan on bringing one back with me to the states. I reckon I can fit 2-3 cruisers in a shipping container.

That being said, what would you pay for a FJ75 or any other model under 1993? Most likely will be higher mileage vehicle in non immaculate condition.

Just wondering if this would be a worthwhile investment since I'm already bringing one back.

Thanks,
-Adam

If you can stretch it to 93, the fzj75 have the better 1fz-fe aswell as disc brakes front and rear. Hzj75 from 90 on should also be popular, in troopy or utility form.

I just bought a built Saudi FZJ75 (LHD) with about $3000 in spare parts for $25k if that is of any use to you...

FJ75 are usually pretty beat up. The heavy fuel bill means they often changed hands quick and were often used for farms or boat ramp towing. You could pay anything up to $10k but the average would be $2-3k and they are mostly rough.
I would be looking for a FZJ75 or a diesel . You can get some nice HJ75.

Different market my friend.

How exactly does that make a difference to my post? That's the condition and what they are worth here. Diesels are more prized and tend to be better maintained. You could say that about most Landcruisers in Australia.

I thought he was asking what people would pay for one in the US not AUS.

Yes I am wondering what they would go for in the US. After importing from Australia

You're question is the equivalent of "how long is a piece of string." Ask this guy - he knows the market.

You should have posted some pics so everyone knows what "non immaculate" means.
