all i can say is that many of the vehicles that is imported are **** and very few are nice clean units that are worth the time and money to import.
and i agree the 2LTE are ****. we agree on that point.
True, true. There is nothing mandatory about the motor situation in japan, but I've heard that there are financial incentives via the government to replace motors at low mileage, similar to the idiot C.A.R.S. program here in the US. It has nothing to do with emissions, or maintenance, it's all about keeping the wheels of industry rolling.
I would like to here from someone in Japan or that have lived there to comment on the driving characteristics and the reason the KM's are so low.
hope that helps. try to find an importer that has positive recommendations or referrals. i know that my friends speak highly of Dave Stedman of Japan4X4.
edit: just jumped to page 3...
1) if the RI, or importer, is shady, you can be assured that they will be able to find a $hitty LC at the auction.
2) 2LT engines suck
3) the post about the govt forcing engines to be replaced is just dumb, you were told a rumor at best
4) hi Dave. I'm friends with Larry down here in Okinawa
5) HJ61 is the king of cruisers!
5) HJ61 is the king of cruisers!
Dave doesn't like to deal in vehicles.
1) disagree, there is a lot of **** at the auctions. the vehicles need to be inspected and never ever trust the inspections sheets.
"Cruiser owners in Japan are wealthy so the crusiers are in good shape generally"
remember i am quoting what was said earlier...
i also am the exception...
Become a happy owner of a super reliable 4WD Turbo Diesel SUV in very good condition and with low mileage at an unbelievable deal as unfortunately our company is closing our doors and everything must be liquidated!!!! With only 27,000 original km, it is very solid, rust-free, clean truck and a rare find for an outdoors traveler as the majority of Japanese Direct Import (JDI) cars come equipped with basic options this Toyota Hilux Surf is fully loaded with all the bells and whistles like $5000 Recaro Interior, Power Options and Power Sunroof. This Surf is the lowest KM's . Needless to mention it is a Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicle. The 2.4 turbo diesel runs awesome It is super economical, burning just under 10L/100km of diesel on the highway.
New wide tires fitted on alloy rims are ready to get your family safely through the weather.
The practicality of this truck for outdoor trips is also attributed to the fact that the rear seats fold down flat, creating plenty of space for two adults to stretch comfortably. The inflatable twin mattress fits perfectly should you decide to rest in style. At the same time the front seats remain in driving position.
You won't have any problems finding parts for this truck as most of the 4Runner parts fit right in
The Hilux has gained a reputation for exceptional sturdiness and reliability, even during sustained heavy use and/or abuse, and is often referred to as "The Indestructible Car". This was further reinforced on the BBC motoring show Top Gear, when a 1988 Hilux was subjected to extraordinary abuse and just kept on going.
