Seem like a honest price for an 80?

Just curious if this 80 series seems like a decent price. Been contemplating moving into a larger toyota.
We have a 3rd gen 4runner right for my daily comute and for outdoor goodness.
If I was to get a land cruiser, the wife and I would probably share vehicles. Who ever would drive further in their day would take the tdi wagen.

No affiliation to the ad, just curious what the experienced think

I would pay $5000 max. I bought my 97 locked with 113k on it 2 years ago with only a 2.5" lift for $8000.

Does not look bad but dont let the extras tempt you. Good chance you might want to go a different direction once you get it then you paid extra for things you dont need. I just bought a 94 with 183,000 for $5100. It was not a great price but OK. The bad was AC not working, SMALL oil leak (valve cover), CEL code 26 but running great, small rough idle (probably air leak) and pain faded on roof. Since i got it i have been finding tuns of other stuff such as clogged sunroof drains and slow windows, shaky mirrors and so on. All minor but lots of time involved. On the good side i got a nice clean 184,000, runs and drives great,5 NEW 285/75/16 BFG ATs and F+R lockers for $5100. I figured anything i get will need all the base line PM and some TLC so i didnt worry about that.

The biggest expenses for me will e the AC which i budget between $200-1200 and fixing the idle, i hate finding air leaks.
