My thoughts; This has been my wifes DD for awhile, it's perfectly reliable and comfortable as is. This is a highway friendly 100 Series that has many miles left in it. It has been well maintained and taken care of through out it's life. When you do hit the dirt, its very comfortable off road and extremely capable with lockers front and rear. We love this Land Cruiser and don't want to sell it, but it's time for something different. The miles are high but the engine does not burn any oil and has had a recent compression test showing that its very healthy. This one has many years of reliable life left in it, so don't let the high miles scare you. Since we've had it we've been on a few big trips, one drive from CO to SoCal and back. We also recently made a 1200 mile trip from Colorado to New Mexico, Arizona and Utah over 4 days and it did not skip a beat. The Land Cruiser went on a roadtrip to Baja a few years ago and had zero issues over nearly 3,000 miles with a lot of offroading, great drive and perfectly reliable. The 4.7l V8 returns pretty decent fuel mileage and has a good balance of power for moving such a large SUV, loaded up with camping gear for a long trip.
Price- *****SOLD!!!*****
Clean and clear title in hand. Located in Grand Junction, Colorado.
I do have a new leather seat kit from Land Cruiser Heaven that we can sell with the Cruiser, for what we paid, which was $895. I will also include replacement seat heater elements at no additional charge. The leather seat kit is optional, but I won't be selling it before the Cruiser sells.
