May want to show the new leather and the right side 3rd row seat. Unless you just replaced the bottoms. In the side shot of the driver seat, wheres the carpet under the seat?
$8K is a premium for a Cruiser with over 200K. Even more so if you dont take the time to write a nice quality ad and get the truck ready for sale. If you try, you can get a premium, but you're gonna need to justify it.
First and foremost, you have to clean the truck up and take good photos. Your photos dont show a lot of detail, and the truck is dirty. Front wheels have a lot of brake dust. Just looks like a car that someone doesnt care about anymore and wants to get it out of the way. Engine bay should be cleaned up too.
Next, write a nice ad. I don't mean copy the wikipedia 80 page. Take time to tell a story to get the potential buyer interested.
Itemize and List out the work, show receipts for what you've done.
Include upgrades like anything you've changed that's better over stock. Including electronics, stereos, etc.
Your ad should list the tires/tread condition.
Small details should be corrected and can help you sell it faster.
Such as the rusty coolant stain on the fan shroud and the red heater hose that you're using for PCV valve, and the Stant universal oil cap. That will hurt if you're trying to sell to an enthusiast.
Need to disclose paint condition and any body damage. I notice the rear bumper is bent on the left side and the tailgate is damaged.
Not trying to rip you. Just have experience selling vehicles on CL and ebay and thought I'd give you some feedback.
I will take some more pics this weekend after I get it cleaned up.
The carpet is missing in that one spot under the driver's seat for some reason. It was like that when I got it.
It's definitely a truck I care about. My family has owned 6 Land Cruisers. I started at $8k because I love this truck and it's hard to part with. If someone wants to make me a lower offer then we will see what happens.
Paint condition is good. The only body damage is on the left side of the back bumper.
I'll get this ad cleaned up. Thank you.
