Someone posted a short ad last week with but one photo. It was listed for 8 grand. The ad gets taken down and is now relisted for eleven LARGE.
He mentions it was detailed yesterday, and the speech (written) pattern is very different than the original ad... I think this is a goddamn flip and this guy bought it a week ago. A spit-polish, title-in-the-last-guy’s-name, 3k-in-one-week flip.
Let the games begin...

CP. At the end of the day, it’s a 44 year old camper. That’s a lot of shaggin’.

If detailing a car adds $ 3k in value to this guy’s view, how much does adding PPF, ceramic coating and a tint add to the car’ s value? $ 30k?
Also call Svend, apparently he's losing good money.

At this point, you’d only buy it to flip it later. Too expensive to start racking up miles . Too impractical to use often. Too slow to be safe. And if you need cosmetic bits — speaking as someone with the next gen pickup, merely 39 years old but far more units sold — good fucking luck.

So, basically it’s a car that the only market is old Toyota fans?
Yeah, pass.

Someone did a 1 UZ swap in a 1980 Chinook. I’d pay a pretty penny for that.

I will say its more a house listing with stuff like “call me to arrange a viewing” and could be with people now living out of there campers
But 100% not pristine if the odometer stopped working. Dont get me wrong that I believe it could be at 90k but also could be 300k.
T hat shit doesn’t fly where I’m from, mainly because rust but other things as well. Frames here don’t lie about mileage. You can have everything rebuilt but if I can poke a hole in the frame I’m walking away.
I know its Washington so less prone to r ust but that’s just telling how it is here in the mid-west.

I don’t follow the values of old Toyotas like a space crab would but I'd think that it was market correct at $8k. Buying at market and then attempting to flip is a bold strategy.

Had a similar experience with a rag top fox body listed on FB near me. It was listed at 1000, then 800, then 500. A few days later it sold.
One week after that it was for sale 30 miles away for 1400.

I’ve seen a £600 detail add £2,000.
Turning a car from, ‘ew, no, too much hard work before I can even see what needs doing structurally and mechanically !’, to ‘that’s pretty pristine. I can see what needs doing, some of it doesn’t look too bad and I can drive it right away’.
I had a neighbours van to clean.
After two years he sold it back to the people he bought it from for the same price he paid for it.

Right, this is all that is needed: Bigger tires, an awning, and an ad on Expedition Portal claiming that it is an “overlanding” rig, and Dr. Z’s example will be worth sell for even more than $11k.

The classic clean up and flip. Fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on.
