Wow!!! Can we see pics of the rest of it?
 
Thanks again to all that chimed in on the low mileage questions. I pulled the trigger on her this morning...I think I'm going to dig it.



Nice congrats!
 
May want to sell my 99. I'm the second owner and purchased it from a physician in Charleston, SC. It was garaged kept at home and at work and paint is slick as it can be. Never been off road! Champagne Beige. 153,000 miles, rear factory locker, factory differential lock, rear A/C and heater. ARB Bull Bar, 10,000# Smittybilt winch, OME torsion bars, 863 springs, Bilstein Shocks, Interior winch control, Driving light switch, new OEM brake pads, calipers, complete replacement of flexible brake lines, complete parking brake rebuild with shoes and all hardware, rebuilt CVs with OEM boots and top of line screw clamps. Towing package.

Amsoil synthetic in everything, replaced all suspension bushings with OEM parts, Husky liners, LED interior lights, upgraded head lights, 295 75r16 Nitto Terra Grapplers (5) with 5,000 miles. SOR Seat covers on very good leather, no tears or bad wear, front and rear. Rear seats, new wheel lugs and Toyota lug nuts. Second Battery tray installed, auxiliary fuse box for lights, CB and Ham Radio. Off road lights. Replaced all hoses including front and rear heater hoses. CB and Ham are extra if needed.

Timing belt done at 100,000 miles with water pump. Got receipts for everything. New Strongarm lift arms for hood and rear hatch. Neighbors tell me it looks like new when washed and waxed. It really does. Have replacement Chrome emblems for rear hatch also. Plus other things I've forgot right now.

The only things left would be a rear bumper, roof rake and second battery. No accidents and NO RUST anywhere. Yes, no rust period. All bolts come loose with normal effort. Doubt you will find a cleaner one with a clean engine and under carriage as this one. There is not much left for me to do and needed something else to work with. It's received very special care and attention.

Just bought a 97 80 series, "Mr. Nasty", that needs a lot of attention and want to concentrate on it in the future. Got one too may cars and my 100 is available if anyone might be interested.

What do you think it's worth? Don't want to over price or under price it.

My wife, of 44 years, is running out of patience. I don't play golf or fish, just work on Land Cruisers. It's a dang good hobby.

Totally worthless? Is someone waiting to just come and get it? I'll make sure it has a full tank of gas so you can drive it home on my dime.

Sounds pretty nice and similar to mine. I'd say with the mods, miles, and condition probably somewhere in the $14-17k. There is a built LX with similar mods and ARB lockers IIRC listed first back in July for ~$20k, and he's had to drop the price a bunch of times down to around $14k I believe. It's very hard to value them and a lot of it comes down to timing - if you post right when the right buyer is looking out there you can get a pretty penny for it and sell it fast. You try selling it at the wrong time or list it too high then it will languish on the market. Pricing it will depend on how fast you want to get rid of it, but I think the range of $14-$17k is probably what its market value is (instead of "worth" hate that word).
 
You know watching these pricing posts makes me wonder at what point you just keep your Hundy. My 2005 LX470 has 123k miles rust free with every service done and up to date, along with OME, Slee diff drop and step rock sliders. If in 3 years when I have around 160k miles on it, if I can't get at least $13k for it I will keep it as a 2nd vehicle and see if it will out live me. After years of ownership and care for a vehicle, it's just not worth letting it go if you know it can keep going for minimal cost for years and years and years.

x2, $15-17k sounds about right. There have been a few similarly built in that price range lately. I have on the upper end of that into mine, but I got to build it exactly how I wanted it. So I think the trick is finding someone who wants it just like you built it, and is willing to pay for it.

At $14k it is a significant savings over doing it yourself. At $17 it can be close to a wash.

That being said, you have a great location, only a few hours away from those of us in the rusty northeast, so yours being rust-free and only a few hours away would make for a compelling reason to purchase.

My $.02

I'll give you $13.5k for it now and save you a three year wait! You'll be so much further ahead in life!
 
Congrats Macfly!!


I bet she is a real beauty!

All the best luck to You with it.

Would You care to divulge the price that You settled on?
 
Hey all, I've been a member for a few years but rarely post. Love the site though and have gotten much great info and advice from reading through the posts. The knowledge base here is tremendous. Anyway, I'm toying with the idea of letting my 2003 go. The decision will probably come down to what I think I can get for it. Details:

Black with beige interior.
I'm the second owner.
The original owner used it as his winter car (he had a rather nice collection of German summer cars).
He serviced it at his local Toyota shop.
I bought the truck in June 2010 with around 82K miles.
It now has 103xxx miles.
I had the 90K service (including Timing Belt) done at my local Toyota dealer.
Just completed the 105K service last month.
Yokohoma Geolander ATs have less than 20K miles on them (will have to check records to nail it down exactly but tires are very good).
I replaced the rear AC lines this spring (original lines failed) - spendy repair.
I have all maintenance records for the vehicle's entire life. All service performed at Toyota dealerships. Maintained with an open checkbook.
I ran a Carfax check when I bought it and it came up clean.
No major accidents, but there is one ding on the rear bumper, so the prior owner must have backed into something at some point.
Factory Nav, Rear Seat DVD, 18" wheels (believe this was an option in 2003).
Six disk CD changer in the console NOT WORKING. This is the ONLY problem.
Looked into replacing but it was silly expensive and I never listen to CDs anymore anyway.
I run my ipods through the tape deck using a $25 monster converter - works fine for me.

I'm probably forgetting something important, so ask away.
Any thought on what I can expect to get for this rig?
Upstate NY.
Thanks
 
Price on a 2000 Bronze Metallic 275k miles?
Decent to Good service history, fresh TB and WP. 2 owners, AZ for first 8 years, south FL for the rest
Interior needs a good cleaning but thats about it. Got him down to 6000 but will be testing it Saturday. Should I go lower?

2000 Toyota Land Cruiser - $7,500 (Pompano Beach)
 
1999 LC, one owner, well serviced. Asking $3,500
Looks like a little right front corner repair would make this a nice LC:

TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 1999

What would you do?

TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 1999

I saw that CL ad a few days ago. I wished I am closer so I can take a look. From the picture it seems that it need fender, hood, headlight, corner light, fog light and bumper. From the picture, I am not sure what the internal damage look like but the damage does not seems to penetrate deep inside - I could be totally wrong here. What I listed should be just bolt on components.
 
That's a nice cruiser. I have had trail damage worse than that. As long as it drives straight. Throw an aftermarket bumper on it with the included light and a fender and call it good.

I called about this one on Monday. It was only about an hour from me. I left a voice mail and the guy responded, through CL mail reply, for me to call him back. I wish he would have called me. Later that evening, it was deleted from CL. Someone got a smoking deal.
 
hey guys, first post but been around for a while and doing research to make a decision on picking one up for daily driver and light overlanding l

looking at:
2006
118k
Silver
Night Vision, Nav, fully loaded all the bells and whistles
timing belt/pump/pulleys, belts, full tune up done this year, new rear brakes

he is currently at $17.5k

thoughts?
 
Assuming no rust on that car, I think 17.5 is an awesome price. Let me know if you pass on it and I'll buy it :)
