What a great looking machine. I hope this works out. I’m new to the 200/LX570 scene. I’m coming from an 80 series and FJ Cruiser and this is something else. Good luck.

did you get any undercarriage photos before agreeing to fly out ?

Kind of. They sent a very vague video half kneeling down to show the frame. Still not enough, plus the steering wheel is wrapped which is a concern. Having it being a rental car and living in Salt Lake City in the past, it could be rougher than I anticipate.

I wouldn't be concerned about the steering wheel being wrapped, with this mileage all will have some issues with the original leather. There are options of replacing out there that can easily be installed as replacement if the wrap is not to your standards.
 
I'd mainly be concerned about the time spent in Salt Lake as a rental. Likely trips up to the ski areas, so undercarriage rust is a possibility. I'd want really good undercarriage pics up on a lift before committing to a flight.

Pricing on that one looks about right, assuming the frame checks out and the rear damage has no lingering effects.

Our 2007 Tacoma has lived it's whole life minus 2 years in the south, with two winters in New Hampshire. The frame is starting to show the 2 NH winters, despite regular washes of the undercarriage. It still looks ok compared to similar vehicles that have lived their whole life in the salt, but the 2 years did have an impact on the frame.
 
I've tried to work with Richardson twice in the last few years....both fell through from subpar salesman. The last was 2 years ago when they hid the undercarriage rust on a 570. They also tend to add quite a few dealership fees to their price.
 
i've been working with dealerships all over the country trying to buy a 200 series. I always ask for undercarriage pics and only 20% of dealers will give it to you.

Has anyone dealt with Richardson Toyota?
I’ll be flying in from California to purchase and just wanted to get a feel for this spot. If anyone has purchased from here let me know. Bonus if you know anything about this cruiser. Thanks.

If you do wind up purchasing that one, it looks like it has LT275/70R18 tires:

The RCTIP (Recommended Cold Tire Inflation Pressure) for those tires on an LC200 is 41psi Front/Rear. NOT 33psi as shown on the TIP (Tire Information Placard) found on the driver's side door jamb.

Just FYI.

HTH

Sounds like you’ll have to limit your search to vehicles that are listed in the south, and that have CARFAX histories which indicate that they’ve lived in the south their whole lives. For a vehicle that meets those conditions, I’d fly across the country without undercarriage pics. Though I’d still inspect the undercarriage before finalizing the transaction.
 
Don't be afraid to walk away/eat the cost of a flight if it's not "the one." Honestly any car being a rental would be a bit of a turn off. With the way people treat them....

Who the heck even buys a land cruiser to rent out? Seems like a terrible car to make money on lol.
 
Anyone need me to check out the LC in Richardson lol? I’ll be in Dallas on Friday to pick up my Lx570.
