hi - new here

Looking to get a new land cruiser, went to local dealer and sat in one, sales person was very uninterested to deal with.
I'm very familiar with Toyota having had: 14 FJ Cruiser, 16 Tundra and currently a 17 4Runner. Really don't need the 3rd row
so might wait for a 60th anniversary edition. My only complaint is the headroom (being 6'4" tall). It didn't seem like the seat
went down very far (not as low as the 4Runner).

Can you get them without a sun roof?

Good luck with your search. I am 6’4” and have no issues with headroom.

I’m 6’3” but have the torso of a 6’6” guy. No problem with headroom on my LC. Not even with a significant dimmer hat in.

By the way... The salesman MIGHT have shown no interest because either it was not allowed to be sold due to unfixed recall (seatbelt sensor issue)...or...he didn’t know it had been cleared already.

My (albeit limited) experience with dealer sales people is that I know more about the vehicle than they do. It is even more pronounced with the lower production number vehicles. I bet they know a whole lot more about the camry, prius and tacoma than they do about the cruiser you are interested in. Friends that have sold cars tell me that the comp scheme increments favor number of vehicles sold in a month. Low volume combined with the high price tag (making it a smaller adressable market) makes it worth less of their effort to try to sell to you. At least that’s my guess...

Totally agree with that. LC's sometimes sit around for weeks on end at the dealership, so they probably don't take most inquires seriously. It's a significant outlier from their usual business model in the US. There is usually maybe one person at the dealership who really knows anything about LC's, and they may not even be a salesperson. That's the person you want to talk to.

Not sure if you're waiting around for the 60th Anniversary Edition in order to specifically buy a two-row, but you can get a standard LC in a two-row now, it is an option along with electing not to have the rear entertainment screens that no one needs.
