Hey guys,

I am new here and am a new Cruiser head. I'm finally getting rid of my Tahoe and getting a real vehicle that I can rely on for years to come. I am having real trouble though. I have no idea whats a good price for what year and how many miles I should shoot to get on a used LC 100.

Heres what I'm after: A LC 100 year 2003-2007 with NO AHC for $25K or less an under 100,000 miles. From what I can tell a 2005 is my best bet. But I am so confused as to what I need to look for or be wary of.

I found a 2004 LC FJ100 with strange tire wear on the right side only. Concern?

Any help would be much appreciated. I really want to get my Cruiser soon, but am really conflicted as to whats a good deal and whats not.

Disclaimer: I searched big time all over ih8mud for a forum on buying guides that answered my question and couldn't find one with what I was looking for, so sorry if I missed something. Thank you guys in advance.
 
There is a newbie guide on slee manufacturing site that was very useful. I found the link in this forum but you can find it by looking around the slee site.

I'm a noob and can't speak to specifics of the rig yet. Generally I'd run away from any awd / 4wd rig with uneven tire wear.

For reference, I bought an 05 for 25k and 95,000 miles in March. Took me 3 months to find one and I ended up getting it via auction.

I bought one a year ago in S. Texas that was owned by the Toyota dealership owner. Around 90K miles for $24.K. Call Richard Bakke in Prime Imports San Antonio at 1- 210-241-2286 or 210-3443669. I have bought a number of cars from him and have never been disappointed.
 
Yeah, it honestly looks like a 'good' deal. Unlikely there would be rust underneath. Paint looks excellent.
 
My 2004 is for sale in the vehicle classifieds section here on mud - full maintenance history, at 112k miles with the timing belt service performed at 103k... I am in Phoenix, AZ currently.
