How can 200 series be this prolific on Craigslist?

[AFSOC]

I just did a general search of my local Craigslist using key words "Land Cruiser" and was really taken aback by the results. When reviewing the 'Local' results and the additional results from 'include nearby areas', I was shocked to find there were more 200 series Land Cruisers for sale than there were Hundys, 80 series, 60 series or 40 series. Unbelievable!

Not that shocking, even here in SLC where we have a large concentration of various make/model LC's Craigslist Is going to yield predominantly late model stuff and often from dealers. Places like Mud, TLCA FB, etc are going to be the posits, tons for 4x, 6x, 7x and 8x but less later models

Kurt, those are fair assumptions and if the subject Craigslist search was for "Dealer" inventory only, it would not be shocking. However, the Craigslist search I mentioned was for "all" Land Cruisers, which includes private owners and dealers. If you consider the sales numbers for each series (especially 200s), I think it really is remarkable that there are more listed 200s than any other series.

In Nevada it's the opposite. I've never seen a 200 series on Craigslist. I can never find a used one at a dealer.

I believe you, but found one in LV a week or two ago. Red/maroon with a color-matched ARB bumper for a great price. I think it was around $33.5 or so. It kept popping up in my FB feed for the last two weeks. It was very tempting.

A 200 series for 33? I doubt it was real.

I think it depends on the region. I'm in the market for a 200 and there not many listings in my area.
I've also seen some mid $35k 200 series but they've got close to 150k to 200k miles.

We've noticed that it takes about 8 years for people to start building Landcruisers because the price drops and they start popping up on CL due to people upgrading to the latest model. Also tends to be around that time between model updates from Toyota, so we're due for a new one.
