Looking for a 100 Series

[dekuiper]

Well,

My wife an I are finally in the look for a 100 series to add the the 40 & 80. We can't spend 50K so looking for a 2000+ model.

OPTIONS: Were there options that I should be looking for? Do they all now have factory lockers or is that a thing of the past? Others?

COLORS: What colors were available in those earlly 2000 years?

TIA,
Eric

The newer the better. Just buy the newest, lowest mileage you can afford.

PS- have it checked over and know its background, carfax, etc. If you need to know features just do a search they have been discussed many many many times. Good luck!!

rear locker, 98-99, 2000+ no locker but traction controll.

options, really none, most will have rear AC and 3rd row seats. All will be leather

white, black, mica green, a real ugly brown/copper(they call it something fancy) river rock(me like) and a dark burgundy(sharp)

I have seen the dark burgandy. That is our choice, I was hoping it was in the year range we were looking in.
Thanks!

preety sure it was a 2000 color. that was my 1st choice also.....but I couldn't find one for sale......any year. Only seen a handfull on the road(and there are a buttload of 100's in town) The original owner of our 90 fj62 replaced it with a dark burgundy 100.

I'll check my 2000-ish brouchures.

Oh......another color is the champaign-ish color. There is a silver also but not sure what year, no 2000 I don't think

i think the ugly brownish color is smoky topaz, at least that's what it was on the lx 470 in 2000

Hi, guys for those of you that have delt with lockers v/s traction control. which is the better option to the new buyer i bring this up since i read "The newer the better. Just buy the newest..." knowing that 98 and 99 have lockers as options then should i figure that all 2000+ come with traction control?

 

[Pitbull]

Yes, 2000+ traction control

 

[Landpimp]

for a new buyer/new Cruiser owner/new to 4x4's I would say Traction Controll as it needs no driver input. Correct 2000+ all have TC and some stabilitly dealy as standard....

I had TC on my 4-runner and I hated it. Go with the rear lockers.I have a 99 LC and love it. Just my 2 cents!

 

[Cruiser4UGA]

I would go with the lockers. If I had to do it again I would buy a 99, because of the rear air and one with a rear locker.

 

[ELLTEE]

99's rock.
But I would second the recommendation that you simply buy the newest you can find and afford -- frankly TC is probably more useful to most people than the rear locker.

Landpimp,

Do you mean the Bronze (you said brown/copper) color in 1999? Or would this be different since it was a lexus color...?
