Miles. It's from Wisconsin.

He said that truck was severely neglected and needed a ton of work done to it but was still running strong aside from the AHC probably never being serviced or taken care of.

Never amazed by these trucks look after or not there bullet proof.
 
FINALLY!!

02 and the real amazing part is the front seats are original and in fantastic shape.

Slowly getting to the 300k high mileage mark. And yes, my D light works but is very dim :)

The dust looks like you have closer to 800k miles :rofl:
 
Not super high miles but I liked the pattern of 1’s.

Next stop 400k. Cruiser’s gonna cruise.
Not gonna think about how much gas has pulsed through this beast. Proudly, my D light has been out over ten years, and the “thingy” on the frame is still dampening like new. :cheers:

Without exaggeration, the only things that aren’t working in this thing are the P and D lights. Runs like a champ. And the drive to work today necessitated the use of all the magic buttons :D

In fact, I'll just go out on a limb here and do some more math:

If you bought the 100 series cruiser back when it was about 60k new, and drove it 300k miles, without considering any maintenance at all, you will have spent $60,000 + $57,857 on gas = $117,857.

On the other hand, if you bought that hundy brand new for $60,000, but only put 50,000 miles on it, you would have spent $69,642 on it. The remaining 250,000 miles you could have driven on a toyota camry that you would have bought for $30,000, which would cost you $22,500 in gas at a rate of 30 mpg. Coming to a total of $122,143.

Of course the new 2018 land cruiser's price tag of $90k changes things up even more. When you can still get a camry that now does 35mpg, even more argument to get a used land cruiser and just use it when you actually need it.

Anyone disagree?

But but but! The smile the cruiser put on your face is priceless!

That I can't argue with. Especially mine, since I use it extensively for work and my company pays for gas. But nonetheless..
