Just wanted to give everyone an update on this Land Cruiser and also help her out with giving more info on it. I did go look at this vehicle last night with the intention of buying it but there is a bit of issues with it. So to start she waas really nice and worked with me to set up a time to check it out.
-Each corner has some sort of scrape, scratches or damage on the body. Left front has an impact that will probably need to have the bumper and piece under the headlight replaced. Left front fender has some deep scratches in as does the right rear quarter panel. Moldings on the right side have scratches all along them and will need to be repainted also. Like I said each corner has damage so expect to repaint a bit of this vehicle.
-Both inner cvs and upper ball joint boots were blown and causing grease to sling. Right side valve cover was leaking and the bottom of the oil pan and trans pan was also wet. One of the trans lines was falling off of the trans cooler and causing a leak also.
-When started, I did notice a check engine light and a slight engine spudder - possibly a misfire to go with the light or a slight exhaust leak.
-Interior will need a very deep cleaning since it has spills and smells a lot like cigarettes (mostly the front area)
-Vehicle was definitely in a right front impact at some point. The fender didnt have a vin tag and you could see on the crush box some light filler and paint. Also where someone welded on the spot weld but you could see some wire feed left over there. Didnt check anywhere else though.
Hope this helps you guys out!

Thanks for the detailed report! I was thinking of having my sister or brother in law (who live in Tucson), check it out. But from your report, it needs more work than I'm willing to put in it.
