i am going to go look at an fj60 tomorrow, 2f engine, 152k original miles, 3500 obo. i would love to pick it up if it is a good deal. guy said nothing wrong, in fine working condition. any advice on what to look for, or ask ? i am an idiot when it comes to vehicles and am always really paranoid when buying from people. i do not want to end up w/ a project car.

but if work is needed, are parts still readily available for these awesome vehicles ? i had an 83 fj60 years ago, 190k on it when i bought it and put anpther 50 on it before selling and it still had good compression on all 6 and never let me down, even after burying it in the cimmarron river for 6 hours w/ an inch or two of water flowing thru the cab it started right back up and we yanked it out.
