For Sale 2000 Land cruiser in Los Angeles - It was never meant to be (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

I bought this time-less Land Cruiser 2000 (UZJ100 series) in February 2015, I was going to head to Anchorage, Alaska with family and friends, but life happened, I am now moving to Australia because of work.

VIN JT3HT05J6Y0105265 (No accidents, no mechanical problems, California title/pink-slip on hand, 195k miles, no engine codes, car dealer guarantee service contract good through Sep 2015). OME suspension & torsion bars, 4WD, V8 4.7L, 7 seats/7 passengers, all-leather, cruise control, tow package, 2UZ-FE engine, 5 Toyo A/T 285/75R16 tires, 1 brand new master key, 1 used master key and 1 valet key.

An independent mechanic in Laguna Beach checked the truck pre-purchase, and only found a minor alignment problem, which I fixed. I also took it to K&H Import Auto Repair in Los Angeles, I was told I had nothing to worry about, only to continue doing preventive maintenance. This car will give you 10 years / 150k miles of service with proper care, no doubt.

Asking $11,000 (I paid $12,000 for the truck, I am also throwing in the following items that I added during these months, aprox. $3,000 in value for ih8mud members!):

Any air fresheners? Just messing around - but these things in particular probably have the opposite effect you're going for by including them. It makes the ad harder to scan through and those are all very trivial things that will not persuade someone to buy your truck. Just my $.02

 

[IsaacUribe]

Thanks for the feedback, I removed those items from the list, I guess I am getting car-sick, I wish I could keep it, it is such a nice rig.

 

[ryanCA]

Beautiful rig

I looked at a 01 and 00 in Los Angeles last two weeks (I am in the market to add another). Same miles as yours and records but stock

I am going to subscribe to this thread and keep an eye on the price

 

[poseidon]

Do you know when the timing belt was last replaced?

 

[IsaacUribe]

Good question, unfortunately, the previous owner didn't keep any record, but I am including both CARFAX and VINCheckPro reports for free ($90 value).
Both mechanics did a thorough check and didn't point anything but the, fixed now, alignment.
You can see in the CARFAX I also took it to Culver City Toyota, they didn't find/recommend anything either (I was quite impressed actually).

 

[ryanCA]

So you are the 6th owner of this truck ?!

Given it spent so much time in CT & NY any rust ?

 

[IsaacUribe]

Yeah, the truck has seen the road, I was hoping I would be the last owner. I didn't mind the number of owners, because it has been at a dealer 4 times (I took it from a dealer in San Diego myself, the owner was still financing).

I linked pictures of the under-carriage, it is pretty clean, no major issues in frame or body, I have seen rust from the east coast, this truck looks nothing like that.

Both mechanics reported it as "no rust issues". Being pedantic though, the muffler and the spare tire holding chain/fastener did show signs of rust when I bought it, I scrubbed everything, pressured-washed and I applied 9 cans of Fluid Film, done yearly will prevent any problem.

BTW, I am including both the spare OEM tire and the fifth Toyo A/T, it's not mounted because I was planning to paint the chain per the above, touch the wheel up, paint it Mazda gray and put it into rotation (the tire is bigger, so I was also going to remove the plate/rod for the tire not to hang too low, there is a thread about that in here).

 

[IsaacUribe]

It will stay with a friend until I am back next year and have time to deal with this, I am now focusing on moving/shipping companies and the new Diesel!!! Toyota Prado "Ute" for the family , thanks for the feedback and happy hunting!

 

[ryanCA]

Good luck

Is this LC still for sale?
Thanks

 

[IsaacUribe]

No, it's with a friend, he will have the battery installed and I will put it for sale again next year when I am back for a few days. I will update this thread first before going to Craig's list and other venues. Thanks for the interest.
