I am looking at a 1993 Land Cruiser. I would like to get some of your opinions. This was my first time driving and looking at a FJ80/FZJ80 in person.
When the seller started up the LC it started right up but there was a high pitch squeal. The squeal went away but not completely, there was a dull squeal from the engine bay while it was running. Sounded like one of the pulleys/pumps.
During the drive there is a noticeable pulsing from the brake pedal, due to a warped RT front rotor. The LC seemed under powered but could be due to weight of the vehicle. I drive an Xterra now, so the weight difference and gearing could make a difference.
PROS:
Started up ran strong
Interior in good shape
Sunroof worked
CONS:
RT front rotor
A/C does not work
LT front window does not work
Rear hatch does not open, but easy fix so I am told, op rod fell off apparently.
There were some other small issues but I would chalk those up to it being a 25 y/o car. I would like to hear everyone's opinion.
Squeal on start up
Dry rot on the tires
