Diesel Cruiser Imports? www.dieselcruiserimports.com/

Has anyone ever heard of or worked with a company called Diesel Cruiser Imports?
http://www.dieselcruiserimports.com/

They are a family who lives in Costa Rica and specializes in shipping Land Cruisers to the US. They have some nice rigs for sale and am curious if anyone knows them.

Thanks!

Due dilligence. Caveat emptor.

Thanks Steve. It looks like the former eBay account was dieselcruiserimports1, but that was changed to goldendays91 after receiving some negative feedback. Angel and Leo Atencio, "Asdae" on MUD, are the owners of Diesel Cruiser Imports.

After seeing the post you referenced and the one below, it is concerning.

The search goes on forever!

I live in Costa Rica half the year and see a lot of Cruisers around. There is about a 90% duty on cars here and so they are very expensive. For a well taken care of 80 you will pay $15000-$27,000 us dollars for a40 in good nick,$8,000 + but it is doable tough to get a diesel into the states though.

Angel and Leo Atencio are constantly changing their names to continue scamming. They are now using www.dieselimporter.com and on EBay going by the name of dieseltoyotalandcruiser. On YouTube they are using Diesel Importers.

Hi all. Are the diesel conversion (older) FJ's really more popular vs. the 2Fs? I've seen several mods (in Colombia) w/ newer Toyota diesel engines (4200 iirc)
