So, proud owner of too many cars. My wife has a Volvo station wagon and has agreed to drive a land cruiser. She prefers the 200 series but my budget only affords what I have (80 & 60) or a 100 series. My dilemma, I have owned the 80 series for a decade and love the platform; however, I recently fell into a 60 series that is set up exactly how I imagined. I have a daily driver (Camry 5 speed) that is economical so the down time associated with normal OCD maintenance and unscheduled repairs would not prove to be a hardship.
Plans are to sell the Volvo and one of the Land Cruisers (80 or 60) to purchase the 100 series, with the additional money funding repairs and modifications.
Who has been in this situation and how did you justify your decision.
80 Series has 340K with a freshened up head. No real issues other than normal gremlins.
60 Series is a tear down and baseline in process. Eventually I could see a V8 repower or diesel if the situation warrants.
Both are mechanically sound but not show queens. They get used for their intended purpose about 6 times a year, other than that they are pavement bound.
Comet.
