Land cruiser 105 market value (1 Viewer)

United States

Hi guys,

Does anyone have clue how much a lc 105 lhd 1hz is worth at the moment, in good body, frame and mechanical condition?
Let's say a grade 3.5 to 4 like we see on Japanese auctions.

I see crazy listing prices at 50k usd, 60k eur, that for me sounds a bit too high, I am curious for how much any of you purchased an lhd 105 1hz in the last 1-2 years

Thanks in advance.

LHD 1HZ 105 $30-$35k

Thanks, that sounds more reasonable.
unless we are in Europe I guess.

They are not common, especially in the USA. I just purchased a 98 HZJ105 in GX trim with 77K miles in really good shape and it cost me $45K

I see them for sale on European websites, and they may be less or more depending on condition, mileage, and mods. Typically, most in Europe have quite a bit of overland type mods added, which drives up the price.

In the Middle East/Persian Gulf area, I'm told they fetch between $18K-$25K, but are typically well used, and to get them up to a level that most buyers in the USA demand requires another $25K of maintenance and repairs.

makes sense.
yours was a bit above 30k, most likely due to really low mileage,

I have seen LHD HZJ105s in Latin America under $20k.

I heard mostly in Honduras?
I don't know elsewhere.

Anymore the relatively clean 105's go for around $25,000-$30,000 here in Honduras.

North American rhd 105s seem to go for a little for 30k-35k with mods. I know of one in Canada and one in Alaska that sold for around that with 300k+ kms manual transmission and orginal engine.

Can you tell us what trim level your 105 is? FZJ or HZJ? Can you snap some pictures of the interior for us.

Curious what different markets offered?

Silver/gray, is that an original color?

Thanks!

Hola Alpine,
HZJ105L-GCMNS if that helps. My cruiser was close to that color originally, had dark gray leather. Engine is "1HZ..XXXXX" Straight 6 diesel 4200cc, 174 HP. The new paint I believe is a 2020 Toyota stock color. 5-speed manual tranny. Seats had been re-covered in crappy vinyl, oh well. Driver left-side, 3/4 bench seat with a bucket for the passenger. Send some pics next week.

All the Best, Cuidate!

I had hoped to bring my 105 back to the states with me this summer but a goof on the VIN made it appear to have a considerably earlier build date than I thought, so it wont' be 25 for another year and I don't have any reasonable way to manage the shipment. Here in SA market these 105s with the petrol engine are 10-15k USD cars, even with the mods. Mine is a manual (GX), triple locked, dual tank, and dual battery. It has around 180k miles on it and has some tasteful suspension and electrical mods but nothing crazy. I've loved everything about it with the exception of the miserable fuel mileage. With no real emissions controls, they smell like a rolling gas station!

Yeah, 16-20L every 100km is steep.

+ 6k for shipping and duties = 31-36k. Not bad.

With how many kms?

Awesome! So interesting to see the subtle details vs my '98 Std. Yours has;
-Black door frames vs my body color
-White mirrors vs my black
-Black F&R bumpers vs my dark gray
-Black side trim vs I have none
-Popout rear windows vs mine are fixed
-"Mercedes-type" emblem proud on hood vs I have none

Interior pics?

Cloth interior with vinyl flooring.

Unfortunately, the driver's seat bottom cloth was replaced with a non-OEM type cloth, so I have a mismatch there.
