I agree about avoiding Fl--found a 97 with 200k in the hurricane area--few more miles than I would like--they are asking $7,000 oh and it is maroon. I'm hoping to find around a 94 with a cloth interior......

Thanks for the link...
Found a 95 with a new motor, trans, transfercase for $9500 with reciepts. Also found a 93 with under 100k for $8500. A 96 with 100k for $9000--best deal so far.

thing is that *on average* you end up paying for what you get (or the opposite).
Sure, one can get a great deal if one is patient and knowledgeable enough, but of all the "great deals" I saw advertised and checked, the vast majority had problems that were reflected in the price.
Not too many "miracles" out there...

Thats for sure, I've already spent more than $2500 in maintenance stuff, and that doesn't even include the mods I want to make(ie Bull Bar, Lockers, sliders, new Tires)
How much was it James? the miracle
$ 6500 for '93 with 100k and lockers.
Had light front collision (mashed bumper, nothing else). In good condition, but needed maintence.

I strongly recommend you have someone look it over before you buy. I almost bought one on ebay a last month and it looked awesome in all the photos. A fellow cruiser head went to look at it and it had a lot of problems you can't see in photo's. Glad I didn't get that one. Just look at this thread and see all the problems that were found with what looked pristine in the photo's

I paid 19.5 5 months ago for my locked 97.....it also only had 43K miles 
Seems like alot but not really since the sticker price was 51K and its barely broken in at that mileage.
Seems like alot but not really since the sticker price was 51K and its barely broken in at that mileage.$8000 for my '94(in Oregon), unlocked, but in pretty good shape at 160,000. Needs front-end service tho' as I ascertained while doing the front diff oil change this week. I've been studying for the occasion, and trying to get a part list ready for Dan...
Book value for a 97 40th anniv with that kind of mileage is still in the 16.5-18K range.
If you are getting those prices from KBB don't trust them. KBB devalues Toyotas, NADA is better for Toyotas unforunately they don't factor in condition, they just assume the average wear and tear.
If you find a 97 (40th anniv ed) with lockers in good condition with no more than 100K miles on it for 11,500 I am sure quite a few people would like to know.
There was a lx450 on ebay a while back in mint cond with 40K org miles, the bidding went up to 23K and the reserve wasn't even met. He was living in another world though.

any interest in emailing me the link
I found a 97 LX450 in the auto trader for $12k 46,000 but it has a salvage title. I agree you get what you pay for but not all the owners of Land Cruiser are clued in on fair market value...... I have also been checking out a few 40's in my search--there are some great deals right now. I figure not too many people want an older cruiser like a 94 with cloth interior--I look every day
in the mean time I am driving a vw bug--it scares mefound a black 96 with 92k for $10,000 somebody beat me too it by 5 minutes....
No link, its mine. I wasn't gonna let that one slip through.

Bought my '96 in July here in NorCal - 110k, full 2.5" OME Setup, factory lockers, Kaymar rear bumper, ARB winch bumper, 8k Warn winch, 295-75 BFT ATs, PIAA lights, Bosch horn (woo hoo!), Jet Chip, K&N filter, chromed aluminum wheels 
, and very clean - $17.5k. Not a great deal, but a fair deal.
