Landcruiser Question

[Arvin G]

So Ive been thinking about selling my cruiser lately. Whats a fair price? I kinda want to go back into a 2001-2004 Tacoma but am really on the fence on selling the cruiser.


92 Toyota Landcruiser 3FE
Currently has 83,177 miles
482 miles on 488 Sierra Gears
ARB Front Bumper
Warn 9.5ti
OME Low Lift
33x10.5x15 BFG
Custom Rear Bumper Dual Swing Out
Aluminum Roof Rack
Stainless Gutter Mounts
Jotto Desk Laptop Mount
Blue Sea Fuse Box Under Hood
3 Auxillary 12V Receptacles
Tranmission Pan resealed
New Oil Pan Gasket
New Front Axles Seals (1yr)


The Bad
AC Broken
3FE is slow

Man, that is some super low mileage!! I bet there are some guys on mud that would pay a pretty penny for a rig with miles like that. I would say 8k-10? Would be worth that to the right buyer. But I'm not that good of a source, I just got in the cruiser game.

Curiosity makes me ask, why would you sell this for a tacoma? I loved my tacoma and it was a great truck, however I think my cruiser is already more capable that my tacoma would have ever been. Plus I love having a SFA. Just my .02

Boy, that's a tough one.

Beautiful, well maintained, low miles, lots of expensive goodies . . .

But it's a 20 year old 3FE powered used car.

You're probably better off selling the goodies separate, but that's a hassle (especially if you don't have the stock bumpers).

I honestly don't know. $8-10K is certainly reasonable for the right buyer, actually pretty darn good deal. But who knows when that buyer will come around? I would think you would need to ask $5-6K if you wanted to sell it fairly quickly - and that would be a travesty. But maybe people don't won't hold the 3FE against it as much as I think they will.

Really, I think what you have there is a great vehicle that will be worth more to you (financially and usefulness) than it will to anybody else. I would think long and hard about keeping it if I were you. Or if you plan to sell it, do it when you have the time/finances set up to wait for the right person.

Great rig, though. :drool:

What is broken with the a/c and where are you located?

The SFA is definetly robust on the cruiser and the comfy feeling on the trail is a plus. On the other hand, I love how small/light the tacoma was on the trail! Might just be me? Pic of my tacoma on its last trip before i picked up the cruiser.

Boy now you're making me sway more toward keeping it. The more I look at it, the more money I would be waisting if I sell it. You make some great points! Thanks!

That's a very nice LC you have their Arvin G. I would definitely give it some time and extra thought before deciding to sell. How do you like having the Hi-Lift mounted on your ARB bumper? What mount are you using? Good luck with your choices.

That's a great Cruiser. It seems like you took care of the lack of power with the 4.88 gearing. It must have a top end speed of what? 70? at most with the 33's?
I'm not sure I would go back to a pick up myself. I think that cruiser will out live a lot of Tacomas out there. Keep It!

 

[redthies]

I'd buy that for a dollar... A whole lot of dollars, in fact! Nice rig. I love Tacos, but I'd keep what you got, unless you NEED a pick up.

 

[Laxaholic]

love the 80.
I'm thinking about selling my 100 as well. Looking for a Benz CDI....plenty of torque and speed @ 35mpg....
But I think I will buy an 80 like yours once I'm situated.

Even my wife said she'd buy your cruiser. That's quite a stretch for her and it's a good sign that you should keep it. It is a beauty, after all.
