Had a PPI on the lower mileage vehicle - roughly $5k in maintenance needed to baseline it. Yikes. They were pretty candid that the vehicle was overpriced by at least that much, based on what they found. Used dealer had the response you’d expect. Generally speaking, it just was not really maintained well at all.
Frankly, deferred maintenance and other gremlins have me scared enough to shop well maintained TLCs in the $50k range. Was hoping to score a deal by going older LX but am realizing more and more that what I’m chasing in a worry-free ownership experience. Just want the damn thing to work.
That in mind, I’ve tracked down a couple of Land Cruisers, both around 100k on the clock, both at $53-55k (dealer and private seller, respectively), both with good maintenance history. How’s that for a deal? Is trying to get in the door at $50k mark a lowball?
Thanks all.
