Up forsale is my 1979 suzuki LJ80. I'm the second owner (the first being my dad) and it has a genuine 38,***kms on it. As it can be seen in my build thread the LJ was in a very sorry state before I rebuilt it, it took about 18 months to rebuild and it now looks and drives great. I've spent alot of time and money on this thing so selling it isn't something I'am really keen on but the money is needed for a new car and I can no longer afford to own two cars.

problems with car:

[stockman]

WTF....Why so cheap?

If this was on the east coast I'd already be driving home!

Good luck with the sale.

[dougies_tx5turbo]

if my motor bike sells soon and if your car is not sold im about 80% sure i want this.

[Wazz]

WOW! Seriously considering this but will have to look into car haulage first.

[hypactiv1]

sent my GF's boss this link he collects zooks and might be keen he has like 15 zooks

[want33s]

OH man... I'm about $1000 short to fly over and drive it home.
Shame you have to sell after all the hard work.

will be a good pre marriage test, spend the money on the LJ & take her to burger king for the reception.

[birko]

[alien]

he hasnt PM'd or emailed me yet... calm down. lol

[hooki]

PM'd Aron

[jonno_racing]

such a nice lj, I hope the new owner looks after it just as well as you have!

[something_else]

That's as clean as my old one and I got 7g for that! So cheap really would buy it if timing was a bit better

[alien]

i took it for a test drive last night - man it goes hard! the 1L motor makes it such a nice driver, you could drive it every day.

unfortunately i can't buy it though, nice as it is =(

Lach said he was going to list it on gumtree over the weekend, so anyone else interested you better get in quick.

[atari4x4]

^^^ time to hand in whats left of your man card.

[alien]

it wasnt even that... Em actually said i could buy it if i really wanted to (you could tell she didnt want me to though) - but theres so many other issues with me owning it as well - i'd need to store it somewhere cos there's no room at my house, add to that the ongoing costs of rego etc which is why i got rid of my little mazda a few years ago, i'd be in a much tighter financial situation as well.

Theres one other niggly thing in the back of my mind that struck me on my drive home last night as well, and that's that i actually enjoyed driving my sierra more than the LJ - whether its just because im used to the sierra or not im not sure, but i think my sierra layed a guilt trip on me as well.

I'm really surprised theres not a line out the door of people wanting to buy this LJ though, because in real life it really is spectacular.

[tanshi]

If it was in QLD it would have a bidding war happening i think.

[alien]

why doesnt someone in QLD arrange the freight and get it done then? Sure, it'd add $1k to the price shipping it over, but still a good buy for the right person. The new rims & new tyres on it alone are worth over $1k.

[2stroker]

Don't fear you Queenslanders, Lach has just got in before me, i have one that I am getting ready to sell in the near future, it will even be the same colour and just as clean.

Seems he dont want to sell it out of WA? Still keen, no rego....

Let me guess, you want it with no rego for a cheaper price?
