Samurai

Post by Harney1971 » Wed May 03, 2017 4:51 pm

Hi

I am looking to buy a Samurai, not off road or project, reliable and looked after. Can anyone point me in the right direction? They seem a little thin on the ground via normal channels, ebay etc. Thanks Jason.

All I can say is good luck! A nice standard example is very hard to find nowadays, there's nearly always rust hiding behind the sill covers and arch mounts so make sure you look behind them if you can.

Welcome to SCUK. As Scottie says, good luck, original good condition SJs are rare. Few exist but people seem to think they are worth a lot more than they actually are.

Very true, and I lived in Yorkshire and now Scotland where pockets are deep and arms are short. But, what it's worth is more about what someone is prepared to pay. So up here prices are often influenced by 'oil money'. Just saying :hmm:
