***********************SOLD TO REDEYE*******************************************************************

Selling our 1997 Landcruiser 40th anniversary model with factory front and rear lockers. It has 145k miles but is driven daily so it does change. Has center diff lock switch and mod. I bought it from a Toyota in Gladstone, Oregon used (sight unseen). I paid 13k for it with 130k miles about 1.5 years ago. I did the birf/front axle service along with new front bearings, etc with all new toyota parts along with the bigger 100 series front rotors/pads at 135k. Just did the rear rotors with DBA slotted 4000 series and hawk pads. The truck looks really nice, shiny paint and no dents or dings. It runs really good and I put in a new heavy duty Toyota starter. I've got two key pads for the alarm/locks. There is little if no rust; this vehicle spent most of its life in Portland, Oregon and Southern Washington. Also replaced the o2 sensors with new factory sensors. I've got receipts for everything i've done.

For the bad.. It has had some paint work done to it because the front passenger fender has been replaced. You cannot tell other than it does not have the vin number tag on the fender. This was done prior to me purchasing the vehicle. It has a few oil leaks (rear main and oil pump). I bought the gaskets to fix the pump, distributor and few other things but just have not done the work. It does not leak bad and does not use oil between oil changes. The antenna is also broken, it does not go down, you can hear it trying but does not move. It does not smoke and shifts smoothly. Some of the wood pieces inside are flaking or have been pulled up by me :rolleyes:.

The aftermarket stereo is NOT included. I will reinstall the factory unit once the vehicle sells. It is the factory unit in working condition with no issues.

FYI...I have NO service history other than the reciepts for what I've done. I bought this from a Toyota dealer and there were no records with it. It does have the owners manuals, etc...

We are selling to buy a prius (bought 2-23-2012). My wife and I commute too much and just simply cannot afford the gas on this thing. BTW...we get about 16mpg in mixed town/highway driving. It usually goes up to 18mpg on long trips.
Here is a picture link with lots of photos (there are 3 pages of photos or 44 pics):

I'm located in Reno, Nevada but could possibly take this rig up to Portland, Oregon if I had a deposit in hand.

NO TRADES PLEASE, I actually owe $8400 with Toyota Financial Services so I am asking what I need to pay it off...again, can't do trades.

Serious only...please, don't wast my time. Please email me at: eseymour72@yahoo.com for my contact info.

if you don't mind me asking, how much does it cost to ship the vehicle from OR to NJ?

Depends opened or closed trailer. I know closed is around $1.00 a mile but there are lots of ways to ship them. There is a web page and some one else could tell u better. But there is a page that u can post how much u want to spend. Then some one thats making the trip and have room will pick it up. Some time that could take two days or two weeks.
 
It's just over $1,200 on an open trailer. I got guaranteed top load because I didn't want the possibility of any fluid leaks from a vehicle above it. This was being shipped from Reno NV to Trenton NJ. The Oregon plates were on there because the truck was actually in the seller's father-in-law's name.

Got a couple pics snapped today from LandcruiserED just before it was being loaded. It'll likely take 7 to 10 days to arrive. I can't wait....but I'll have to. :) I'll get the title (coming direct from Toyota Financial to me) probably by the end of this week.

I should also mention that Ed was a great seller to deal with. He dealt with my paranoia and constant barrage of questions in a kind and fair manner. I think we're both pretty OCD about our vehicles, which made the transaction easier because trust was quickly built. There's a certain comforting solidarity among LC owners.
 
The truck arrived safely in NJ on Saturday night. I wasn't expecting it for another few days. It was EXACTLY as LandcruiserED had advertised. I can't believe how nice this thing is. I put a coat of wax on the front end and the paint is like butter. Can I really bring myself to wheel it? The jury is still out on that one.

My wife drove it around the block (no plates as of yet) and is convinced it rides way nicer than our unlocked 96. Guess what she wants now? Yeah, this was supposed to be mine. :rolleyes:

My 96 is now PISSED at me. To show me how annoyed it is, it decided to blow out the front knuckle seals this weekend. LOL! Murphy strikes again!
