Honesty time, are they worth it?

Current models are really expensive right now due to currency conversion costs (weak USD to Euro), tariffs, and general inflation.
An additional ~$8K in tariffs on February 1st, with another ~$12K in early Summer.
Last year for me, ~$72K well optioned. Today, ~$91.5K for the same options. In ~2 weeks, make that a bit over $100K, assuming no currency conversion cost changes.
Costs are becoming a bit excessive IMHO.

As above, mid $60s before negotiation, with only 2K miles. Don't be a simple fanboy, go for it!
If I find a gently used one for a fair price, I will be a buyer. I am just not into tariff and inflation price-gouging today.

I bought mine 1 year / 3k miles old for a "bargin". Original owner didnt like the Grenadier driving experience and moved to GX550 overland. I quickly and cheaply fixed: alignment castor, tire pressure, turn stops, and replaced steering stabilizer. I love the truck now for long on and off road trips, but my perspective might be skewed by past few years of driving experience:

Over a updated/restomod D110? Using your hypothetical I would certainly be leveraging that capital / garage space to get something that was a bit more unique.

That too? Or a Land Cruiser pickup too.
Where are these "Slightly used" gems located? Got a link?
