I see a huge price difference between Sequoia and a LC100 here in the states.
I live in the north east and yes, rust is an issue, but I just want a vehicle that will reliably get me to the boat ramp (and the ~20 ft center console boat towed behind it).
I estimate 2 kids and at most 4 grown ups going on a fishing trip. I don't mind the gas mileage, but it'll be ~60 miles each way, about an hour drive.
Sequioa and LC100 come to mind for my price point. The new sequoia has IRS, and while I know next to nothing about cars, I can tell the difference in "load support" with a solid rear axle vs IRS. The older gen sequoia looks to fit the buscuit but I am wondering if the huge price difference between sequoia and LC100 is worth it.
Anyone here can point me in the right direction or have similar experiences? (I currently drive a 4runner. All stock no off road no nothing). Drive will be to and from boat ramp and perhaps a few 400 mile trips to cape cod a year.
I like the looks of the cruiser more, but I wonder if the difference makes up for it.
I'm seeing a 140k mile 03-07 cruiser go for 20k, while a sequoia for about 9-12k. Is the price difference worth it?
What I don't want to do is spend 8k more on something that is going to fall apart OR 8k more on something, that 5k of the 8k is paying for the badge as a status symbol (think GWagon) and only 3k of the price difference goes towards the better engineering/build quality/etc. Get what I'm saying?
