I am listing my 2006 Toyota Landcruiser.
I searched for a very long time before deciding on this particular car. It's incredibly clean throughout and EVERYTHING works - all electronics, all buttons, all mechanical, etc. Check out the pictures - even the driver's seat is in great condition.
So, when I bought this, I did so with the intention of making it my traveling/camping/expedition rig. I looked far and wide for a model that hadnt been abused and was ready to be converted (for instance, I didnt want the air suspension because they are often a weak point and make suspension modification more difficult). About a week after finding this car and lining up all the parts and service, I found the ultimate rig just hours from Dallas (and found it on this board - HERE). I had to jump on it and sadly, I now dont have a use for this machine.
So, if you want a car that has been vetted by someone who cares about the car they buy, check this one out. I had this car inspected top to bottom at Toyota of Richardson and it's mechanically sound. It is getting close to 90K miles, so it would be time to start thinking about the preventative/prescribed 90K service shortly (belts/water pump/etc). On that note, I am throwing on a new serpentine belt this weekend regardless as I have access to a shop/lifts. Already had it bought and figured I might as well as it's a relatively easy install.
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions. Here is a link to the Carfax:

It was owned by one older couple from West Texas. They only put on about 10K miles a year since buying it new and it was serviced at their local Toyota dealership. They traded it in recently for a full size Range Rover and that's when I moved in.
The good:
- All electrical works. All buttons, all switches, all lights, EVERYTHING.
- The interior is in good condition - leather is nice throughout, no rips, major scuffs, etc.
- Has navigation system with bluetooth. Satellite radio ready, nice sound system with no blown speakers.
- 3rd row seats
- Rear air controls - separate controllable system for 2nd and 3rd row
- Rear sound controls - ability to have separate headphones for rear DVD system.
- Engine compartment is really clean - nice hoses, (adding new belts this weekend).
- Tires are stock size and still have good tread (I was going to immediately replace them with the build I was doing, but the stock ones are still great).
Considerations:
- There are 2-3 small nicks in the paint. Very small.
- There is a minor dent in the rear hatch.
- The headlights are fogging a little (like all toyota/lexus - and anyone with plastic headlights for that matter). Headlights still work fine and they can be cleaned with some patience, but a heads up.
- at about 87K miles, it's not new. It is also near the recommended 90K service interval which calls for the following (if you feel like doing it all at once)
Timing belt
Serpentine belt
H2O pump / with gasket
Thermostat / with gasket
Drain block / flush radiator
Idler pulleys
Crank Seal
Cam seal x2
I would check out Pratt Automotive (817-249-0800) in Fort Worth or Lovefield Auto in Dallas for quality independent service. That FULL service should cost $500 in parts and about the same in labor. A full dealership is going to charge about $1500+
So, save yourself the hassle of dealing with shady used car people ( I went and looked at about 10 Land Cruisers in the last 3-4 months and there are definitely some polished up pieces of junk out there!).
Asking $24,500.
Thanks for the time.
