Advice needed 2008 LC vs 2011 LC

[Markuson]

Holy cow you drive your truck! 135k miles is more like 10 years of use at 13.5k per year! If you use that many in 5 years thats 26k per year. Good for you for literally being an actual l-a-n-d c-r-u-i-s-e-r of a person LOL

Ya... stretched to 7 years of that 5-7 year range, that's more like 19-20k...

Right now my LC is my daily... but now that it went full BEAST...I'm really looking to pick up an inexpensive, used daily driver.

Careful now - you might get roasted for that LOL (not sure if you saw my posts about how I bought an old DD and was promptly chided - ps I don't regret it)

Ya, I would frankly HATE driving anything else... I have a feeling once I re-gear, my 2nd DD thoughts will diminish...

Thanks everyone replies.
1. 2008 with high mileage is well maintained. Single owner and all the maintenance records are available.
2. 2011 is dealer car still getting more info on it. Its a single owner car.

High mileage is over 500k; neither of those trucks are broken in yet.

For what it is worth i just went down the same debate with myself and ended up buying a 2008 for 18k that has 275k on it. however i did the homework, one owner, Texas truck, all the service records only services at Toyota, so worth the extra miles, alone with all the other cruisers I own, I have a 2007 Tundra that I bought new and that sold me on the 200 series and longevity of it (like I need that, after all it is a Land Cruiser).

Michael- Good to see you in the 200 section. I'm on the hunt myself.

give me a few months and I will have all the 411 on what you can do with the 200.
