I am half seriously (pending funds) looking for a used 80 series. I know that when properly maintained, the engines are known to last for quite awhile. Most of the 80s I have found thus far have been 140k and 180k miles on the odometer. I have real reservations about buying a vehicle with that kind of mileage on it.
What are your thoughts? Would I be crazy to buy one with that kind of mileage? I am looking mostly at the 95-97 model years. Do you think these vehicles have another 100k in them? Are there 80s with less than 100k on them out there somewhere that I am not seeing?
Due to the more robust nature of the Land Cruiser, as well as its greater GVWR, I intend to make this my primary overlanding vehicle and using the 4Runner more for a DD and weekend jaunts.
Any advice would be welcomed.
