For Sale 1997 Land Cruiser 40th - Not mine...

In the search for my first, I saw this ad:

1997 LANDCRUISER FOR SALE - Want Ad Digest

I called, it is available, he is downsizing in prep. for a move, but doesn't have pics.

So, if anybody is in the area (Minerva, NY) and looking, alternatively if anybody is close to there and felt like taking some pictures for me (assuming the seller is willing), I would be grateful. I am in Michigan and a road trip just to look at it w/out pictures ahead of time is a little bit too much.

Here's the text of the ad:

You would think that the guy would invest in a cheap digital camera to help the cause.

That was my hope, seemed like a good price for a 40th w/ 80k on it and the ARB, but tough to justify the trip just to look in case something is messed up on it. Probably a little more ambitious of one for my first, but that would be okay w/ me. less justifying future add-ons to the wife if they're already on it.

Also might need the 90k maintenance, so have to figure that in.

Guaranteed. My '99 100 came from Rochester; bought it in December '04. A RPITA...every bolt or nut snapped from the rust corrosion.

x2 on the rust.........I was in NY state ovet the 4th of JULY,
and was amazed at the amount of rust that occurs so quickley on the vehicles in that area........
Any area that uses salt or calcium chloride on the roads is going to have clapped out vehicles.
