I am the second owner of this car and have owned it since 1999. It came off a one year lease turn in.
182,000 miles
This has been my wife’s vehicle all this time and it has been an awesome SUV. It has required minimal repairs over the years other than regular oil changes, brakes and tires. I will try to describe all of its details below. I have purchased a newer LX470 as a replacement and have misgivings about doing this and this car continues to serve us well and is still relevant.
I have created a flickr page with 49 pictures. Access it here:
1998 Toyota Landcruiser VIN JT3HT05J0W005000
Price: $8295
Good:
Runs great, no known mechanical issues.
Timing belt just done at 176,000 miles
All gas lines and main rear brake line just replaced this year
New heater/ac control panel and heater blower just installed. AC,heat, etc. all work great
Known EFI issue repaired. No problems in over 2 years
Two key fobs included and valet key
Remote start system installed
All manuals and most receipts included.
Windows, seat controls, seat heat, rear heat all work
Wood trim on interior replaced about 2 years ago
Full tune up, plugs, serpentine belt, filters, etc. done two years ago
Bad:
Some scratches and small dings. Nothing that wouldn’t be expected on a 20 year old car
Front seat leather needs to be replaced. Wool seat covers included. Drivers side especially worn.
Sun roof does not work
If you know these vehicles you are aware of their reputation and durability. This is a great example at a very good price.
