Hello Scaltura,
A wise move as lots of us look at the vehicles that come up for sale and some may know parts of their history or may have seen it for sale before. Lots of old info to research about your target vehicle too so you can learn about what to look for. Welcome aboard

There are 2 main (i think) era’s of 80’s, the 12 valve or 24 valve. Do you want manual or auto gearbox? Trim levels matter too. I preferred cloth seats which was lower spec Gx i think rather than vx which had leather and wood etc
Hi Scaltura and welcome to this friendly forum. Good luck with your search and look underneath whatever you view. There's import 81s with far less exposure to road salt that are pretty good underneath as are some UK ones. There are some dogs out there but there's plenty of buying advice on here so you've done the best thing signing up here first. Rust is your enemy, take your time and view plenty until you find the one for you.
Have a search in the 80 series section, there's plenty of info.
Good luck and photos are mandatory when you've found your Cruiser.
Best wishes
Rich

I'd prefer cloth seats, but I could live with leather, also would prefer manual box, I'm not biggest fan if plastic wood, I'm open tbh. Plan would be to put drawers in back for gear and to sleep on when going hiking, be long term daily driver/project. I'm a mechanic/MET tech so can manage work
Thanks Rich
My 94 VX import has AC, cloth seats, no plastic wood, limited slip diff in the rear and no front locker. No ABS or airbags or emissions gadgets.
Try hitting 'share item' on the eBay listing and 'copy' then paste the link straight into your text. That should worknunless there's any restrictions by the number of posts you've made.

That's the one fbnss
The description is a bit lacking and flowery for my liking but it certainly looks tidy on top. Doesn't look like it's been messed about with much either but looks like a few corrosion issues under the bonnet and what looks to be condensation on the windows possibly indicating water getting in. Should be worth a look if nobody flags up the seller.
