I am purchasing a land cruiser and would like some help choosing the best one. I am at least 3 hours from them and wont have a chance to look at them before i buy them.

There are 4 that I'm looking at.

1. 1995, 195,000 miles, looks very clean, ,4.5 liter v6, ,tow package, and guards for the lights. He's asking $8,100

2. 1997, 160,000 miles, Not quite as clean but still very nice, ,4.5 liter v6, no tow receiver. He's asking $8,500

3. 1994, 166,000 miles, not as clean as the first one either, tow setup, guards, and it has a V8. He's asking $5,890.

4. 1996, 166,000 miles, more used than the other 3, Las guards and tow setup, It has the locking differentials but also has a small oil leak between the engine and transmission. Owner said about a quart between oil changes.


I will use it mostly as a daily driver. I will take it to the mountains and desert and will want to do some mild 4-wheeling. How important is the locker? Is there an aftermarket locker that is as good

Thanks for reading my post
