Hi,
I own/have owned many Toyota compacts and I am now looking at landcruisers because my family is getting too big for a 4Runner. I have read the FAQ's and stuff here on the various models. I have found a fairly close 91 for sale in excellent exterior and interior condition. It has every conceivable option. The driveability seems to be good as well.
My question is, for those of you who have owned BOTH FJ80 powerplants (4.0 and 4.5) Would you pass up a good deal on a 91 in favor of continuing your search for a 93-97?
The vehicle has 191000 on it and the asking price is $4400.
I am not asking for a discussion on options such as ABS, Airbags, elockers, and the like. Just mainly an ownership satisfaction rating of the two models and if it is worth waiting for (and paying more for) a newer model in your opinion after your ownership experience with both.
This is to be momma's car mainly on road use. I might add that I have never driven a 4.5, and I find the 4.0 to be sluggish on acceleration but satisfactory at highway speeds.
Thanks!
