Price: $8,900
Location: Rock Hill, SC (near Charlotte, NC)
The Good:
- Relatively low mileage for an 80 series; just under 199 k miles as of right now
- If I remember correctly, the vehicle spent most of its life in Georgia before I purchased it, and I’ve had it in the greater Charlotte area for about 14 years, so very minimal rust in the body and undercarriage
- Newly installed carpet and carpet pad
- Bowfin Cruisers roof rack in excellent condition
- Aftermarket double DIN head unit: Pioneer AVH-280BT
- All interior lights replaced with LED
- Shaky mirror fix installed
- 17 inch powdercoated GX wheels
- NOT TRIPLE LOCKED
- It’s not really noticeable now in the heat, but when starting in cold weather, sometimes feel a slight misfire or "fish bite" until the engine warms up. A local shop took a look at it for me a few years ago and they couldn't reproduce the issue to attempt to diagnose
- It hasn’t been my daily driver for about 8 years and it probably needs a thorough baseline across the board
- As is common in an 80 series, it leaks oil
- One of the rear power door locks doesn’t work, I have a used actuator from a parted out 80 that I’ll include in the sale, but I haven’t gotten around to trying to install it
- Typical slow power windows (though they all seem to work)
- Some paint fading on the hood but not the worst I’ve seen
- Some bumps and scrapes on the bumper corners
- Crack in driver side mirror
- Missing the tailgate panel because I was planning to install tailgate storage. The stockinteriors kit included a tailgate carpet cover, but it needs a panel for installation
- One of the middle seats is not latching down, something feels wrong with the latching mechanism
- Tires have minimal treadwear but are getting old; the person who sold me the GX wheels says both tires and wheels were sitting in his garage
