For Sale: 2001 UZJ 100 Landcruiser Black $9000 130K

I'm selling a black/grey interior Toyota Land Cruiser with just under 130,000 miles on it. It was purchased new in 2001 and driven on the east coast for eight years before I drove it out here when moving to the Bay Area. There is some rust underneath as a result. The car runs very well with few issues throughout the life and ownership of the vehicle.

The following modifications/changes have been made to the truck:

-The grill has been painted semi matte black
-The rear wind buffer thing was removed (the mounts are still attached)
-The running boards were removed
-The original carpet mats were replaced with weathertech mats

-About 6,000 miles ago I changed the tires that were on the car for Toyo Open Country AT which still have plenty of life. As a result the ride sits a bit higher which I prefer.

-The brakes were recently serviced and the rear brake pads and drums replaced as of 500 miles ago



The car was inspected within the month and the following was observed:

-The O2 sensor needs to be replaced -- $100 part 1 hr of labor
-The axel boots are showing wear and will need to be replaced soon -- $150 each 2-3hr of labor

The total estimated cost of these repairs will be around $800.

The oil was changed during inspection and the battery "cleaned/rejuvenated"


The car functions very well -- as one would expect from a Land Cruiser with relatively low mileage.


Aesthetically the car is in clean condition. There is surface rust on the underside. Furthermore there is a 5 inch diameter dent (depression) in the front driver side fender. Several times I've been flagged down by guys offering to "pop it out/hammer it out/make it look new" for $150. I have no idea what the method is here but I imagine it means hammering out the depression from behind/inside the body. While I haven't obliged as I don't see the dent as much of an issue, it seems to suggest the repair is straight forward and something one could do on their own if they had the knowledge and energy.

Anyway, I've tried to be as descriptive as possible. Please pm me or email me at jmanzi123@gmail.com with any questions. The car is being sold for local pickup only.

I'll take pictures soon and post them here if there's enough interest and/or can send them to any emails provided.

Thank you for your interest.

Edits:

I forgot to add:

-I removed the rear seats long ago. They are on the east coast or sold. If I have them I will ship them out here at your cost if needed. Otherwise, this car is sold without the very rear seats. There is now a Weathertech mat protecting the rear and a spare Toyo Open Country AT on its rim.

-When I removed the plastic flare over the trunk (the little fin) I didn't reinstall the connecting pieces initially and as result some moisture has caused some rusting in this area. It is local to the upper door and only visible when the door is open and looking at it from the other side. It's cosmetic but worth noting.

Do you have pictures? Also what's your location? Bay are Socal or Norcal?

Bay Area. I'll try to get pictures up this weekend.

As a follow up to my previous post. I had my car appraised today at a certified Toyota dealer today. They made an offer equal to what I'm asking on here. Due to ease of transfer -- going through Toyota -- I'm going to sell to them unless a significantly better offer is made within the next couple days.

For those still interested, upon further inspection by the dealer, there are no problems with the axles as mentioned in my initial post. I'm unsure why that was initially observed/mentioned however the same people who made the observation, and the certified toyota appraiser did not see any such issue. Furthermore, I will be taking care of the air filter replacement myself so that can be factored out of any additional cost.

I would entertain offers from $13,000 and up but no less. If you are interested feel free to get in touch.

With no pictures... I would take there offer. They will flip it for a good profit.

You're nuts if you're going to part with that LC for $9k. Have you tried CL? Unless there are other cosmetic issues I'd say $12-13k very realistic for an 01 with 130k. These are desirable trucks.

Edit: did you even look at the other 2001 posted below? 125k for $17.9k asking. They won't get that, but its night and day about $9!

I appreciate all the suggestions to try to sell it at a higher and have gotten some interest since posting here. My initial acceptance of the $9000 offer is due to the fact that the grill has been painted, the depression in the front fender, rust in various places, no running boards, no rear trunk spoiler thing, etc. I figure with all these modifications/issues the car isn't comparable in value to what a more stock version of the same car with the same mileage. It's never been crashed and drives very solid.

That being said, I can't quantify the extent to which the aforementioned issues detract from the overall value of the car.

I'm listing it on this forum because I think people here (given the nature of the hobby) have a more practical/logical/clear view of value. The hope being that whomever is interested recognizes that the issues mentioned in my initial listing are superficial in that they don't and wont effect the functionality of the vehicle.

I will try to get pictures up on here today and also sent to those who requested them.

Lastly, while I do appreciate the suggestions, I'm hoping to sell this car within the next week or so as I don't really have time or energy to deal with much more effort in trying to get it sold. Those who are interested, please know that come next week, if nothing has happened on your end, I will likely be selling the car to Toyota. At which point, I'm sure they'll give it a nice coat of wax and you're welcome to buy it off their lot.

Do you have a law degree?

Haha, not a lawyer. I suppose that was a bit formal... Here are some pics.

-This is the worst instance of rust. It's local to the back door and occurred because I took the spoiler thing off and didn't put the mounts back on initially. Water got in side and caused this. When closed, the door looks normal and fine.
