Anyone here own this? 2016 with Supercharger

[LALC]

2016 Toyota Land Cruiser LIFTED Magnusson Super Charger | eBay

That whole build weirds me out... I definitely would not buy this, but it's unique to say the least.

Looks like it's had a hard first year of life... I wouldn't buy either.

I wouldn't buy it, but I would love a test drive

This "mystery box" has me worried:

Rockford Fosgate logo. The subwoofer in the back is the same brand... if I had to guess it's to lower or increase the bass on the subwoofer.

Its just the volume remote to the Rockford Fosgate subwoofer added to the rear

Oh, OK. That makes me feel much better:

Boom so hard it knocks the magnetic handle out of its holder

But seriously... a supercharger and all that gear? I'm struggling to identify the demographic.

Emergency lights were interesting as well (cop, firefighter, wannabe cop?, wannabe mall security?).

private vip security?

Always leaves me scratching my head when people put lights

I agree it's not a ih8mud 200 build but why would you not buy it if it was in your price range? Has a lift and a supercharger.
The other stuff can be removed easily, it's a land cruiser it will be fine. It's a year old!

Any one who spends $$$$ on an SUV isn't doing it purely for practical reasons.
Status and emotion are in there among the reasons. Some choices are just more conspicuous than others...

The LC is still $$$$ but it's less conspicuous than say an Escalade, Rover, LX, or G-Wagon. Which is turn off for some.
There is a market and a product for everyone...

If I was shopping for a 16 I would pass on this one just because I would perceive the previous owner didn't take care of it.
If you look close the interior is a little beat up for only being two years old.

Would it be reliable? Sure
As I sat in the seats would I wonder about possible past transgressions and what potential residue I was sitting in? YES

Anytime someone adds a supercharger and then sells the truck a year later it concerns me.

why - there's people out in the world with stupid money who trade up vehicles like underwear - I understand being skeptical but there are times when you can take advantage of other peoples advantages

Not saying I wouldn't consider buying one, but I would be very cautious about it and would want it checked out thoroughly. I've read of people doing SC installs and throwing engine codes or even blowing out the motor because they overboosted or didn't properly reprogram the ECU. There was a black (2014 I think) Hennessey LX570 with 9k miles for sale in Chicago back when I was looking in early 2016. If it wasn't $90k I might have looked at it since at least it was done by a reputable shop*. In the end I'm glad I bought an LC.

I do get your point about stupid money though. Just sayin' I'd be extra careful if I didn't have the history.

* It's fair to dispute if Hennessey runs a reputable business, but I would be very comfortable with the mechanical work already done by them.
