Yo-just looking for some feedback on a 100 series land cruiser that I'm trying to buy. It is a '98 desert bronze metallic with only 95,000 miles w/diff lock, at a toyota dealership. It looks like its in really good condition and they just did the timing belt service on it. They also just lowered their price from $14.6 down to $13.9. I was trying to negotiate down to $13K but they're saying that it's a fair price and not wanting to go down at all. I can't look at it because it is 10 hours away from me but was planning to buy it sight unseen, unless I take a drive.

I think its worth between $12K and $13K. I actually purchased our other '98 LC about a year and a half ago for $11.6K with only 99,000 miles at a dealership. And it was garage kept and probably a 10/10 condition wise. But that was a pretty rare score.

So I'm really not wanting to pay more than $12-12.5K for this one, but they're saying that they won't budge on price because a wholesaler will pay that for it in a few days if I don't. Also, it has extremely low miles for a '98 and desert bronze is rare. So just wanting some feedback from the forum as to if I should just bite the bullet and pay full price $13.9K plus tax/lic.? OR just move on and wait for a better deal? Thanks y'all!:smokin:

I'd personally go up in miles for one that's been taken care of and get a better deal, if a 98 is what you are after. After all, 140-150k miles is a drop in the bucket over a 100k mile one. I paid $12k for my 98 lx with around 100k on it, 3 years ago. Offer them what you think it's worth towards the end of the month and put an expiration date on your offer.
