SOLD 1991 HDJ81 55K or Whatever - I am keeping it

[SteveJackson]

Ok... Thanks for your input.

I am done responding to comments by LCD as I consider his comments & opinions biased, to say the least

Since LCD put in doubt the authenticity of the mileage of this truck: Anyone that wants to see how much I ended paying for this car, please let me know and I will send you the winning bid.

Anyone considering buying JDM cars from professional Importers should really do due diligence. Professional importers want you to believe that if you do not go through them you will be taken for a ride. The truth is that they need to you to believe that so that can justify their prices. They can only get the same information everyone else bidding has access to. And 9 out 10 times they cannot prove that their information is better, and you just have to believe them.

If you are interested in Buying JDM cars - go to:

(there are other exporters/Auction companies, but I checked these guys out and talked directly with many of their repeat clients prior to using them)

Japan Car Direct Home

I encourage you to do so prior to buying from local importers - you will save 1000s and get high-quality vehicles,


Contact Yoshiro, Scott Bowers or Mathew

They sell Dozens and Dozens of cars and many of them are destined to the US and Canada.

Their Business depends on Happy repeat clients and they will guide you every step of the way, and explain what to look for and what to Avoid.

I already said you have a nice LC offered at a fair price. Others have called the odometer reading into question. I offered my opinion after being asked.

This thread illustrates some differences between a seller like LCD that focuses on Land Cruisers, in the Land Cruiser community, and those seeking to benefit from the “import cruiser craze.” LCD does seek out and access more information than the average buyer. LCD does have the experience with hundreds of import cruisers to be able to identify discrepancies and potential issues through visual cues and documentation. Not all 25 year old LC’s are equal. The nicest ones that become available have more competition for purchase and therefore a higher expense.

If you buy more LC’s, check the leading digit on the odometer for alignment with the other digits.
