At least pretty close to an 80.

I have really been looking for an 100 series to replace my 2003 sequoia that we use for family road trips. But I saw the ad for this one, went to Cave Creek and drove it, couldn't stop thinking about it for two weeks and finally broke down and bought it. My son really wanted me to get it.

I don't know how many people saw the ad because it didn't say "Toyota" or "Land Cruiser" anywhere.

The minus--- I probably paid too much given market trends and the future of gas prices. No lockers. Not my favorite color. And it has a valve cover gasket leak, and needs the front axle sealed up. And a 100 series probably would have fit my needs better.

The pluses --- 1 owner. 138k miles. Spent most of its life in Arizona as the winter vehicle for a doctor and his wife. Mostly serviced at Bell Lexus. The interior looks nearly new. And it sure drives nice.

Did your wife believe your son really wanted you to get it?
 
Love the color, really awesome find!

Good question-- she was probably skeptical, but since the Son has now washed it several times she probably believes it now.

Plus the Son keeps making offers to "buy" it from us and then "lease" it back to us-- in a way makes sure he ends up with it in a few years. Smart kid.
