Thank you, I'll definitely keep this in mind. A little off topic, but would it be weird to show up with like a notebook of notes lol. I've bought cars before but always just did basic checks, and since this has 320k miles I want to be very thorough.

Hi guys, so there's a land cruiser local to me listed for $4500. It has 320k miles, but is extremely clean. Looks to be no rust, seats have no rips, no major damage to the body, and paint even looks good. Seller replaced timing belt about 2 years ago. Car has been driven ~10k miles since. I...

Bump. I have put a new battery in, tested the battery terminals, tried starting with a jumper connected, smacked the starter with something while someone tried to start it. I have put it in neutral as well. Tested the fuse connections and they seem fine as well. I have no idea what I can do...

No click at all. I've tried starting it when it's cooler outside (around 60-70 deg. F) because I read that the EFI relay could cause issues but still nothing. That being said, the EFI relay does seems to be miscoloured on the contacts, if that makes sense. It looks corroded or burnt. But the...

Any chance you know the part number for it?

Hi! Thank you for the reply. The battery is actually not dead; all the lights work, A/C heat works. The battery voltage indicator is a bit over half in my cluster. I will get the belts changed regardless, but do you think it could be something else?

I just bought this car yesterday. When we were buying it, it was clicking but not cranking, so the seller tried jumping it, but it it still didn't do anything. After almost 5-10 minutes to messing with the starter, he was able to get it started. I bought the car, and drove it about 40 miles...
