For that price you’ll expect everything to be in mint condition. It’s not.
Missing the cover on the seat adjuster, for instance (just as starters) shows that the vendor is not going the extra mile.
I doubt about the mileage as well. Decals in less than good condition. Carpet redone. Canvas probably redone as well...

Not quite. 1st gear is a little better than the one in the 3 speed. 4th is direct, the same as 3rd on the 3 speed. Top speed doesn’t change.
I used to have a 160 series Patrol (MQ) with the 4 speed transmission. I never understood the little improvement accomplished with it, except for being a lot smoother on the shift changes, and synchros in all of them.

That price?!?! 
I'm with Esteban on this one. Sorry, I could never consider paying top dollar for something that has had modern speakers and stereo added. Way too much out of line here.

Same, down to the identical license plate from Colombia. Asking price was $29,900 several years ago so that would certainly be some appreciation! If you don't ask, the answer is an automatic no, or so I have been told!
