[tilvin]

Hi Friends,

One of my uncle have Toyota BJ40 - Hard Top Jeep that was not looked after around 5 years - Currently not in starting condition and it is almost 5 years in same place in rain and sunlight. He is having some plan to restore it. Will it worth restoring it? And what is the actual market price of a jeep in best condition?

Thanks....

Hi Friends,

Pls assist me regarding this. Normally around how much 31 Sri hard top BJ40s going on without powersteering and AC? Because I browse through some ads and saw from 1 million to 2 million(Both with nego tag....) But actually how much in reality these Jeeps can be sold quickly? I mean bottom price? Because before spending for restoration, we need a rough idea.....Tks.....

Seems you are trying to do a patch up job and flog it off. Rather than take that path, why not sell it off as it is and let the guy who buys it, do a good job of restoring it?

Did I tell you that I am going to do that way? Why you are assuming things and talking? My actual plan is restore and use it. And I know it will cost around 1 million for the body work and engine repair only. So I asked in the forum, whether it is worth going for restoration or go for a good conditioned one, by asking the bottom (Not fancy....) price for a good condition one?

Using the words 'restore' and 'how much in reality these Jeeps can be sold quickly' in the same thread, does give that impression.

If you ARE willing to go ahead with the restoration, you should first look at your budget, time availability and whether you are really passionate about the vehicle. FYI, the only time I did a restoration was back in 2004-05 and when I eventually sold off the car, I lost well over 150,000 on it (we are talking about a car worth about 600k at that time, so 150k is big money).

Thanks Guys for your advices.

I'll check with my technician first and get an estimate of the full restoration process and decide.....

Thanks.....
