Hi everyone
New to the forum And not currently part of the lc100 party yet but I'm in the market. A little background on my current car history. I've been a die hard Toyota fan. My first car (which i still own) is a 92 mr2 turbo. This was my father son project. My dad was a mechanic so he taught me through experience. We swapped everything in that thing down to the motor. Fast forward 20 years later, I bought an 18 trd pro 4runner. It was a great toy but ultimately i was too gunshy to rip down a 55k truck to upgrade and wheel with. So i made the decision to sell the whale and get a family suv for the time being (20 rx450h). Now that i settled some finances I'm looking for a toy that my daughter and i can work on like my dad did with me. Granted she's only 4 months, i can get a head start until she can hold a wrench on her own. I'm in the market for an 06 or 07 land cruiser or lx470. I know they're very similar and I've read the noob articles detailing the differences along the generations. So my question to you folks is where have you found these great beasts for sale. I've checked a few of the usual places ie. Craigslist, autotrader, cars.com etc but they're all used car lots. Is that going to be my only choice? Thanks for your help in advance.
P.s. I'm in San Francisco but I'm willing to drive a bit to get a deal.
