85 4runner : need advice

Found a 85 4runner solid axle rebuilt 22re with bout 9k on it. Running 33 BFG mud terrains w/90%tread trail gear front & rear bumpers & sliders. '4.88 gears and front diff armor Has front and rear locrite lockers. Body is in pretty darn good condition with mininum rust. Inside is rinolined or something similar. Has swing away tire gate. Comes with full spare just no wheel for it. Also comes with the high lift. I am set on buying but looking at having to ship it. I know its a risk but finding these things is like winning the lottery. Looking at having about 5k in it shipped to my door. Whats your thoughts?

sounds about the going rate for one in decent shape...but you didn't give all that much info IMO.

also moved your thread to correct section and retitled it. titles like "Help" tend to get deleted...

5K is about normal for my area (rust belt, North Jersey). But i'm not sure where you live. If i were you, i'd offer around $4500 cash and go from there.

I am sure you saw this in the other thread, but in case you didn't:

I would love to see it in person. It's just 12hrs away. I can have it shipped for less than I can go get it. Anyone from little rock arkansas or have any contacts there. I would at least like another board member too look at it before I purchase..
