My mother daily drives a '94 FZJ80 that currently has around 160k miles. My uncle, who was the first owner, gave his Land Cruiser to my father for free after he wrecked it when he hit a light pole during a heavy rainstorm in '99. My father completely fixed it in the autoshop he owned at the time and it's still running strong to this day. My mother only drives 20 miles in total each day, 5 days a week. It has been on a couple of long roadtrips before, but we prefer to take something else that is more fuel efficient unless we have more than 4 passengers. It has never been on any actual offroad trail before, we live in California, and it's mostly been driven by a middle-aged woman, so it's still in pretty good condition. And no, we will never sell it. I am a very sentimental person, so I will try to keep it in my family for as long as I can- even after I'm gone.

I'm so happy I bought my 80 last summer while prices were lower. Granted I paid more than you (mine was under 200k) and needed much less work. I've begun my preventative maintenance now, replacing all hoses, and giving it a decent overhaul for my upcoming summer trips. I've decided to never sell mine too. Lucked out and found the two-tone color
1993 FZJ80 with 213 Kmiles. Just completed a 3000 mile road trip to New Mexico and back with no problems. How may vehicles can chew up and spit out the off-pavement stuff and still do a smooth and easy 80 mph on the freeway? At least once a month someone stops at my driveway and asks if I'll sell - I always say no. It's like an old pair of shoes; familiar, comfortable, and we've had a lot of adventures together. I'm not going to tell you how little I paid for it when I bought it eight years ago - it will just piss you off!
Mine is a 1996 White, Triple Locked, FZJ80 with 118K miles. I made sure it was thoroughly maintenance when I first purchased it and now I just keep up with the routine maintenance. Glad I purchased it back in 2018. Looks fantastic!
Thank goodness I got mine at invoice last August before the announcement and this craziness started. I have seen many new ones asking price over $100,000 especially in California and Colorado. This will continue to go up as you say in your video and completely agree but I would add that the 200 series will go down as the most sought after Land Cruiser ever made.
First, glad I stumbled across your channel! I have a ‘91’ with approx…225k+…picked her up from a friend for $1700. Went into this adventure, knowing I will have to spend time and resources. Continue to learn its not a Ford or Chevy when it comes to replace/repair ‘stuff’! lol 😂 Such as the water pump!….OMG!!! that was an adventure in its self. I actually did not know what I had when I purchased her. Also picked up a ‘93’ ‘doner’ cruiser for parts for $150 that the person who had it was just going to scrapped….the purchase has already paid for itself! Now my current lesson in life involving my ‘91’ is the breaks systems….again….not a ford or chevy….lol 😆 Anyways….thank you for these videos….has hugely helped me…by at least giving me a starting point!
yore thoughts are nearly like me , relaibility and capability just as i thoughts... And my dad owns a LC KJ78 70 SERIES LAND CRUISER PRADO ... Im a serious lover of Land cruiser
1997 FZJ80, Purchased 2019 for $6,300 with 219k. No lockers 😿. Dealer serviced yet minor surface rust. Still undergoing baselining. Hasn’t been driven for almost a year. Your videos are motivating me! I’ve been hoarding car parts. Thank you and please keep it up!
1996 Land Cruiser with low miles. I bought it from my friend and it only has 124, 000 miles when I got it. Currently, the odometer reading is 132,00 miles and I love it!
As requested --- I am leaving some background on my landcruiser in your comments section. FJ80 - 1993 Green with Brown 36,300 miles no lockers, no leather , no wood. It is in showroom condition and still has the new car smell. I am the second owner. It has been stored in a heated garage for the last 16 years and I recently "reactivated it"...... I have watched several of your videos - thanks for making them I plan to sell it in november or before I head back to florida for the winter.
Mine is a 1991 with 186k on mileage, really love your videos learned a lot in the last couple of weeks. I’m still need to do some work on the electric (whispers go slow, turn signals doesn’t work properly etc) but I know for sure my FJ80 is a beauty also I own a Fj 40 1981 with over 250k Mileages. What I love about my Land Cruiser is that the condition (specially on the dash, Sears, plastic cover etc) are really good. Keep it up with the videos I have a tonz of doubts about some issues on my FJ80 that maybe you can address.
Glad I got my 80, although the high kms its still in great condition. Ill keep it for a long time to come. You just can't beat the reliability and simplicity of the old Landcruisers.
My 1995 white FZJ80 has 245,000 miles and it's the best car that I've ever owned PERIOD! I am 51 years and a confirmed car fanatic. I've owned 3 BMWs, 6 Porsches, just to name a few! Nothing touches my Land Cruiser 80 for quality, reliability and functionality. My triple-locked Cruiser looks almost new and is rattle-free. I love her!! Get them while you can, cause they are going to keep climbing in price, regardless of this temporary automotive bubble that we are in. Excellent videos! Cheers!!
Mine is a 2005 LC100 with 350000 kms and still runs smooth. I have lifted the vehicle 3inches and taken to the desert couple of times and its an amazing performer. I just love my LC100 and my heart will break to sell it, if I have to.
FZJ 1999, 190k kilometers though (about 110k miles), Venezuelan version, they call it the "bubble", standard transmission, no diff lock. I think they stop producing these in 2007, so if you want a basic version after 1997, the Venezuelan version exists.
91 land cruiser white,recently replaced radiator,water pump ,alternator,power steering pump and battery. Some small mods 33” m/t and. 3” ome lift. Extended brake lines, quick release front sway bars.2 inverters and fuel filter. Rear drawers they were given to me out of another cruiser. Payed 6500 clean body the front driver seat need help. I enjoy your channel and have taken several suggestions. I also live in NorCal. Have a great day
I own a 97 triple locked with 214k. I bought it for 5k in 2014 with 145k before the demand went berzerk. I installed an OME 3" lift, and larger tires. Other than that just normal maintenance. I have owned a 92 LC, 96 LX450 triple locked, 02 LX470, and now the 97' 80. My wife drives a 06 LX470 with only 119k on the ticker. Best vehicles I have ever owned. Which is my fav? 97 fzj80 hands down, makes my wife jealous....but the most practical choice is the 06 LX....it tows, it hauls kids & gear in comfort, V8 power....it just does everything in style. Only downside to a LC is that they are thirsty....and a bad battery/alternator will drop an LC to its knees.
I’ve had my 97, FZJ80 for 13 years now. Bought it with 150 k miles on it, just rolled 222,222. My wife prefers to drive it over her GL550 and my kids have learned to drive in it. It’s outlived all other cars we’ve owned and will likely be in our family forever.
91 fj80 center lock, 336,334 miles as of today. Wife and son in law surprised me for 45th birthday 6 years ago. They spent 2,300.00. Its looks identical to yours. Keep the video's coming enjoy all of them .
I have a 1996 Land Cruiser! It has 494,000 miles. Back in June the motor started to make a ton of noise so I had it rebuilt. It took them five months but I have it back and it's going through it's break in period. I've take it camping way out in the desert & skiing and it's running beautifully. I was really concerned about spending the money for the rebuild but now that I've seen what people are paying for these vehicles I feel like I made a good decision. Thanks for the information!
My 94 FZJ80 just clocked 570,000 km on a trip pulling our 2.4 ton dual axle caravan, she wanders and shakes as all the bushings are worn and I'm working my way through all that stuff bit by bit, she gets the job done, works her bum off doing it without fail, good old 1fz-fe has a big heart, dual fuel petrol and LPG, as my wife says "she's a beast " that's why they're going up in value....actually priceless to me, cheers from Australia.
Cool video mate. I have a FZJ105R Landcruiser with 440000km in 🇦🇺 Don't believe they were sold in the states. Similar to the 80series with 1FZFE. Old 4wdrives are going down in value since the cost of living crisis.
I'm from Saudi and i bought my land cruiser 1993 yesterday with 250k km (156k mi) it need a little bit of maintenance it will cost about 1000SAR (270$) and i have the car by 14000SAR (3740$) Also the price range for the normal ones is 12000-20000 SAR (3200-5400$ ) it's also goes high as 125k SAR (33k$) for the cleanest and best one
I've just brought a 1991 sahara, 700km on the clock. New deisal 4.2, new heavy duty auto and lots of other work. All original good condition. 25,000 US
Im a big toyota fan, but I dont understand the hype of the land cruisers or the 4runners... neither can offroad anywhere as good as a wrangler... and lang cruisers look like generic suvs.... 4runner at least has a unique wicked nice look.... Im not buying the hype.
Mine's a '93 w/263K. Bought it 18 months ago for $5500 at 258K, and thus far have only changed all the fluids, brakes, valve cover gasket, and converted the AC to 134a. Been wheeling it for most of the miles.
I have a 94 land cruiser triple locked, gave 2000 dollars for it 8 years ago before anybody cared about them. It’s rust free have slowly added bumpers sliders lift and wheels and tires. Would take a small fortune for me to consider selling it. I think 94 is the year to have because it’s the last year of the big transmission last year without airbags and first year for antilock brakes. A good combination for an older ride.
1997 w/ 178,000 miles purchased in 2016, 3rd owner, 42 service record entrees, 3x lock, emerald green w/ oak interior. Paid $10,000 for it which I thought was a bit high. First owner put around 120,000 miles on during his 17 years of ownership. Second owner drove over 25,000 miles a year for 2 years, all oil changes documented on Carfax and records found in the glove box. I thought it had a bad head gasket as it drank a lot of coolant on my maiden trip after buying. Now I think it's just bad hoses as i noted coolant on the shop floor. Work overseas all the time, she's gonna be my primary retirement project in 18 months. Hope I live long enough to enjoy the NorthWest, mainly Idaho.
2021 Land Cruiser, brought in October 2021 for $99999 which people think is crazy. Used with 11k. Dealership demo vehicle. I originally brought it to start my Land Cruiser channel but now that the value drastically increased. On the fence on just holding. Prices are like 120-130k at the moment . Would not be surprised if it hits 150k. Considering no more Land Cruiser in the states.
I bought a 2000 LX470 with 350K Miles, on it, nothing was wrong except height control and sold it through the auction for $10K just because I got a good deal on a 98 LX470, 1-Owner with 110K original miles for $6K.
I have a 1991 FJ80 with less than 167,000 miles. 2nd owner and this is my First Land cruiser! I Need some help! Looking for a ((front fender- driver's side)) Any suggestions... Vegas 702:
Ive inherited from my father a 1997 Toyota LC 40th Anniversary with 200k miles. As far as i know the engine is immaculate, some minor cosmetic work and will be doing some upgrades when the wallet allows it 🤙🏼
More than just the looks, people like 80 series cruisers because of the front locking differential. If you want to get away from civilization nothing beats a Cruisers with a front locking diff. Unfortunately, the 80s were the last model with the front diff. Would be nice if Toyoda, can reintroduce the LC300 GR in North America. with COVID lockdown we all limited adventures in the wild. No now, gone are the days of hopping on a plane for a vaca in the Caribbean.
I have a 1994 80 series, that I bought from a dear friend and the original owner. It had just 134k miles when I got it in summer of 2015. Today it has 201,000 k on it. I just did the pesky hose repair, new cv joints, changed the radiator hoses and radiator last year and I’m getting the valve cover gasket replaced next month. In the time I’ve had it I’ve put about 4,000 US in it( major repairs) another 800 in tires but that’s it! Oh I only paid 3, 800 cash for it! It came with an really nice snowboard rack. Hopefully I’ll get it repainted if I can find a shop I trust. I’ll drive it for life. Or would sell it only for a ridiculous price, but since I live in Colorado I most likely keep it forever.
Just purchase a '97 LX 450 with only 88k on it. Previous owner has it for over 20 years but he didn't even know it was a Land Cruiser. Without a Toyota badge and emblem state "Land Cruiser" that make him thinking he is just selling an old ugly Lexus family car which has a bad MPG and fading paint. He neglected it for many years and barely drove it. He said he love the Land Cruiser and really want to buy one but surprised why it become so expensive now. The funny things is he willing to have a good looking Land Cruiser and at the mean time he is selling me the best age of generation of land cruiser with super low mileage. Paint fading, no big deal, little ding here and there, Had a crash 20 years ago fully repaired. Rear window does't roll up and down, (I think no power) One passenger door doesn't lock and unlock. No tripple lock Hmmm. I paid $8500 for it. I think it's a good deal. Just passed SMOG and registered yesterday. Super happy with that.
1996 LX450 triple lock with 500,000 miles and was given to me FREE. I just restored the tired interior and rebuilt the front axle with Marvin Crawler axle seals and spindle bearings in the place of the stock bushings. Roof and hood paint fading but she still is royal. We refer to her as "Her Highness." This is one super fine elegant vehicle that keeps going up in value.
1997 fzj80, 134k miles. triple locked. on 285 KO2's. same color as the green one in your video. been on many trips. just take gas for her and water for you, she'll bring you home. austinlando handle on ih8mud.
There are thousands of these trucks on the road where I live. Nothing special really. Hilux and 76s are everywhere also. My apartment block with 36 houses has at least 12 Toyota 4x4s parked here. And who says they don’t produce them anymore? There is a 2021 landcruiser in my parking lot.
95 1hdft 24 valve diesel turbo 80 series ans an 05 105 series chopped into ute with 1hdfte turbo diesel both with around 330km,s both come from australia to nz with extra fuel tanks etc. and yes i know how lucky i am awesome trucks or family members haha
The high price is because the market. They are sold as working barebone vehivles in dozen other markets. Good video, you are right. They are overbuild because they are vehicles for work and extreme transportation in remote places. I am from Venezuela where we had eveb models only made for Venezuela. In a small town by the north end of the andes mountain, land cruiser was a must because of the daily driving in such tough conditions. Jeeps would be considered a venture vehicle. Landcruisers are a transportation must-have.
Hi I have 2 of them 80 series, one 1995 with 224000 miles and 1996 with 197000 miles. 95 is green and I bought for CAD $2800 and the black one $6700 with 195000 miles.
@@billymallari6663 the Black one I bought few years ago, 6 years, the another was under the pine tree for 5 years , I I’m recover all them, I fines with mechanic and head to do all the interior Not easy to find one, keep doing some time you find
@@redsommerstube In the 96 is triple lockers and the abs light came on, O2 sensor new one, gasket in cover valve, spark plugs, oil pan fix, I have a olí leak in oil pump cover In 95 was under the pine tree for 5 years and take out all interior because is wet, moon roof fixed, drain hoses, and now will fix all the interior, engine and transmision run good,
I just picked up a 2002 land cruiser with 207k miles on it, everything is perfect besides a few dings and the ac compressor is making a weird noise, love the car so far
On my 3rd 80 series the first 2 we're under 5 k this was 10 years ago. This one is a 40th anniversary edition no lockers 221,000 miles no check engine light but if you haven't done a video on the front main seal and oil pump o ring do it for the people haha that's one of the problems you can count on but yeah they're monster trucks
I don't think anything that's 20 years old with high mileage are worth the ridiculous prices people want. I do not care if it's a Toyota land cruiser, it's old and high mileage I will not pay over 15k for it. I get how great they are but get real with face reality that it's not worth that much damn money
lol No car is worth this much money. It’s only worth this money because it has a following with people who can afford it. It’s basically similar to a Ferrari, it has a niche subculture.
1992 Fj80 with 350K. 3FE Gang!!!! Keep up the good work, there is not enough content on these old girls

91 fj80 center lock, 336,334 miles as of today. Wife and son in law surprised me for 45th birthday 6 years ago. They spent 2,300.00. Its looks identical to yours. Keep the video's coming enjoy all of them .
97 40th anniversary 333,286 miles running strong.
Do you have service records let us know. Was the water pump replaced head gasket replaced transmission repaired A/C repaired
I have a 1996 Land Cruiser! It has 494,000 miles. Back in June the motor started to make a ton of noise so I had it rebuilt. It took them five months but I have it back and it's going through it's break in period. I've take it camping way out in the desert & skiing and it's running beautifully. I was really concerned about spending the money for the rebuild but now that I've seen what people are paying for these vehicles I feel like I made a good decision. Thanks for the information!
My 94 FZJ80 just clocked 570,000 km on a trip pulling our 2.4 ton dual axle caravan, she wanders and shakes as all the bushings are worn and I'm working my way through all that stuff bit by bit, she gets the job done, works her bum off doing it without fail, good old 1fz-fe has a big heart, dual fuel petrol and LPG, as my wife says "she's a beast " that's why they're going up in value....actually priceless to me, cheers from Australia.

went from a 1991 12valve to a 1995 24 valve 80's series I love them.. got ion before the expensive rush
Cool video mate. I have a FZJ105R Landcruiser with 440000km in 🇦🇺 Don't believe they were sold in the states. Similar to the 80series with 1FZFE. Old 4wdrives are going down in value since the cost of living crisis.
Just picked up a 1996 triple locked over 300k 😂 need lots of love very very minor rust. guess what I paid?
I'm from Saudi and i bought my land cruiser 1993 yesterday with 250k km (156k mi) it need a little bit of maintenance it will cost about 1000SAR (270$) and i have the car by 14000SAR (3740$)
Also the price range for the normal ones is 12000-20000 SAR (3200-5400$ ) it's also goes high as 125k SAR (33k$) for the cleanest and best one
I've just brought a 1991 sahara, 700km on the clock. New deisal 4.2, new heavy duty auto and lots of other work.
All original good condition. 25,000 US
Im a big toyota fan, but I dont understand the hype of the land cruisers or the 4runners... neither can offroad anywhere as good as a wrangler... and lang cruisers look like generic suvs.... 4runner at least has a unique wicked nice look.... Im not buying the hype.
Mine's a '93 w/263K. Bought it 18 months ago for $5500 at 258K, and thus far have only changed all the fluids, brakes, valve cover gasket, and converted the AC to 134a. Been wheeling it for most of the miles.
I have a 94 land cruiser triple locked, gave 2000 dollars for it 8 years ago before anybody cared about them. It’s rust free have slowly added bumpers sliders lift and wheels and tires. Would take a small fortune for me to consider selling it. I think 94 is the year to have because it’s the last year of the big transmission last year without airbags and first year for antilock brakes. A good combination for an older ride.
1997 w/ 178,000 miles purchased in 2016, 3rd owner, 42 service record entrees, 3x lock, emerald green w/ oak interior. Paid $10,000 for it which I thought was a bit high. First owner put around 120,000 miles on during his 17 years of ownership. Second owner drove over 25,000 miles a year for 2 years, all oil changes documented on Carfax and records found in the glove box. I thought it had a bad head gasket as it drank a lot of coolant on my maiden trip after buying. Now I think it's just bad hoses as i noted coolant on the shop floor. Work overseas all the time, she's gonna be my primary retirement project in 18 months. Hope I live long enough to enjoy the NorthWest, mainly Idaho.
1994 FZJ80, Triple Locked with 173,000. Where about in Norcal are you?
Sacramento area
2021 Land Cruiser, brought in October 2021 for $99999 which people think is crazy. Used with 11k. Dealership demo vehicle. I originally brought it to start my Land Cruiser channel but now that the value drastically increased. On the fence on just holding. Prices are like 120-130k at the moment . Would not be surprised if it hits 150k. Considering no more Land Cruiser in the states.
Sold for over $170,000 the other day
just picked up a 1997 Lexus triple lock feeling fortunate ....mile high+++ here in NEVADA
I bought a 2000 LX470 with 350K Miles, on it, nothing was wrong except height control and sold it through the auction for $10K just because I got a good deal on a 98 LX470, 1-Owner with 110K original miles for $6K.
I have a 1991 FJ80 with less than 167,000 miles. 2nd owner and this is my First Land cruiser! I Need some help! Looking for a ((front fender- driver's side)) Any suggestions... Vegas 702:
Ive inherited from my father a 1997 Toyota LC 40th Anniversary with 200k miles. As far as i know the engine is immaculate, some minor cosmetic work and will be doing some upgrades when the wallet allows it 🤙🏼
I have a 1997 fzj80 with 186k miles. I bought it about 5 years ago with 50k less miles for $4,000. I will never get rid of it.
1985 hj60, 2h engine 4.0, 4 speed gear box manual (h42), 217k km (real km) owned since 1985, :)
More than just the looks, people like 80 series cruisers because of the front locking differential. If you want to get away from civilization nothing beats a Cruisers with a front locking diff. Unfortunately, the 80s were the last model with the front diff. Would be nice if Toyoda, can reintroduce the LC300 GR in North America. with COVID lockdown we all limited adventures in the wild. No now, gone are the days of hopping on a plane for a vaca in the Caribbean.
I have a 1994 80 series, that I bought from a dear friend and the original owner. It had just 134k miles when I got it in summer of 2015. Today it has 201,000 k on it. I just did the pesky hose repair, new cv joints, changed the radiator hoses and radiator last year and I’m getting the valve cover gasket replaced next month. In the time I’ve had it I’ve put about 4,000 US in it( major repairs) another 800 in tires but that’s it! Oh I only paid 3, 800 cash for it! It came with an really nice snowboard rack. Hopefully I’ll get it repainted if I can find a shop I trust. I’ll drive it for life. Or would sell it only for a ridiculous price, but since I live in Colorado I most likely keep it forever.
Just purchase a '97 LX 450 with only 88k on it. Previous owner has it for over 20 years but he didn't even know it was a Land Cruiser. Without a Toyota badge and emblem state "Land Cruiser" that make him thinking he is just selling an old ugly Lexus family car which has a bad MPG and fading paint. He neglected it for many years and barely drove it. He said he love the Land Cruiser and really want to buy one but surprised why it become so expensive now. The funny things is he willing to have a good looking Land Cruiser and at the mean time he is selling me the best age of generation of land cruiser with super low mileage. Paint fading, no big deal, little ding here and there, Had a crash 20 years ago fully repaired. Rear window does't roll up and down, (I think no power) One passenger door doesn't lock and unlock. No tripple lock Hmmm. I paid $8500 for it. I think it's a good deal. Just passed SMOG and registered yesterday. Super happy with that.
1996 LX450 triple lock with 500,000 miles and was given to me FREE. I just restored the tired interior and rebuilt the front axle with Marvin Crawler axle seals and spindle bearings in the place of the stock bushings. Roof and hood paint fading but she still is royal. We refer to her as "Her Highness." This is one super fine elegant vehicle that keeps going up in value.
1997 fzj80, 134k miles. triple locked. on 285 KO2's. same color as the green one in your video. been on many trips. just take gas for her and water for you, she'll bring you home.

Just bought a 1990 Sahara 3-fe with 340000 km O2 211k miles. Pretty much stock centre console cooler works perfectly never been lifted even
I have a 1997 HDJ-80 Series 4.2 In line 6 Turbo Diesel, it has 186.000 miles and runs pretty well
There are thousands of these trucks on the road where I live. Nothing special really. Hilux and 76s are everywhere also. My apartment block with 36 houses has at least 12 Toyota 4x4s parked here. And who says they don’t produce them anymore? There is a 2021 landcruiser in my parking lot.
L have land cruiser 80 series gxl hz4.2 after market turbo 603000 km 1995 still going strong

I’ve got a landcruiser amazon J100 4.7 v8 petrol and it has done 252,000 miles and still going
The high price is because the market. They are sold as working barebone vehivles in dozen other markets. Good video, you are right. They are overbuild because they are vehicles for work and extreme transportation in remote places. I am from Venezuela where we had eveb models only made for Venezuela. In a small town by the north end of the andes mountain, land cruiser was a must because of the daily driving in such tough conditions. Jeeps would be considered a venture vehicle. Landcruisers are a transportation must-have.
Hi I have 2 of them 80 series, one 1995 with 224000 miles and 1996 with 197000 miles. 95 is green and I bought for CAD $2800 and the black one $6700 with 195000 miles.
Did you buy them just recently? or a while back? Lucky you, I can't find any lower than 10K.
@@billymallari6663 the Black one I bought few years ago, 6 years, the another was under the pine tree for 5 years , I I’m recover all them, I fines with mechanic and head to do all the interior
Not easy to find one, keep doing some time you find
What kind of repairs have you made to both the vehicles
@@redsommerstube In the 96 is triple lockers and the abs light came on, O2 sensor new one, gasket in cover valve, spark plugs, oil pan fix, I have a olí leak in oil pump cover
In 95 was under the pine tree for 5 years and take out all interior because is wet, moon roof fixed, drain hoses, and now will fix all the interior, engine and transmision run good,
so basically they’re expensive because they are Land Cruisers, got it, understood it and brb Imma snatch one
I just picked up a 2002 land cruiser with 207k miles on it, everything is perfect besides a few dings and the ac compressor is making a weird noise, love the car so far
On my 3rd 80 series the first 2 we're under 5 k this was 10 years ago. This one is a 40th anniversary edition no lockers 221,000 miles no check engine light but if you haven't done a video on the front main seal and oil pump o ring do it for the people haha that's one of the problems you can count on but yeah they're monster trucks
so i traded a gutted 89 Jeep two door XJ that was a river rat and 1200 bucks for a 1991 80s series, in fairly decent shape, best decision of my life!
i have a 1994 fzj80 with 380,000 miles mine came to me well built but also well loved for 8k in 2013
97 400K runs awesome. Just updating and tightening the rattles as much as i can as i go.
I don't think anything that's 20 years old with high mileage are worth the ridiculous prices people want. I do not care if it's a Toyota land cruiser, it's old and high mileage I will not pay over 15k for it. I get how great they are but get real with face reality that it's not worth that much damn money
lol No car is worth this much money. It’s only worth this money because it has a following with people who can afford it. It’s basically similar to a Ferrari, it has a niche subculture.
Mine 1996 got 256000km needs some attention but I'll try to keep it. Wish it was a diesel atherway i like it
76 series is the best looking Land Cruiser but the 80 looks amazing as well
Silver 94 FZJ80 with cloth interior and 165k miles.
