this is a valuable resource, thanks @Bludozer for starting.
I've mentioned it before but when the prices go up to a level that would make me not regret letting mine go, I'll sell. So far however, they aren't there yet.

This is a great thread and Im glad someone created one specific to 80s.
One question I have around pricing is how others handle the difference between kbb and market price.
As I continue my 80 search I was curious how others have handled the difference from an insurance perspective should something happen to their 80.
In the unlikely event an 80 is totalled, the kbb value and market value are going to be wildly different.
How do you address that difference? It would be horrible to spend 20k on a rig and have it totalled only to get <10k.

This seems to be a pretty good guide from what I have seen over the last few months.
Great write-up!
The prices at auctions lately have really skyrocketed recently.
I agree that the 3x locker adds to value of an 80 series, but low miles stock well serviced vehicles rule. Lockers can be added later, but there is no substitute for low miles on any vehicle's resale. When clean 125k mile cruisers are hitting above $32.5k without lockers that's where the escalation has begun. I am not noticing any penalty for the earlier obd1(93-94) models either.
Personally I like the cloth seats and no airbags with the full float rear axles with disc brakes and ABS on my 11/94 build date Landcruiser. At this point in time, all cruisers in the 80 series will have to be baselined because of the age of the rubber and plastic parts that can be replaced anyway.
As for insurance pay outs in case of a totalled vehicle, most insurance companies can be negotiated before hand on an agreed upon value, but you will pay more in premiums.

I'm not sure about that. A California locked 64k mile LX450 just for 31k on BAT. I actually communicated with that seller on here 2-3 months ago and he was asking $55k for it during our email exchanges. I offered him 30-35k for it in our email exchanges back in December (just checked).
Looks like he did not get what he wanted. If he would of told me 32k via email I would of bought it from him and saved him the headache of BAT fees and the time... He should of just been honest with me and gave me a realistic price.

Found a LX450 43K mile one owner that I just missed on craigslist that sold for 25k, then looks like it was resold on BAT for 33K.
Looks like the Land Cruiser name still holds more value than an LX450.
I saw that one on BAT and at 64K miles and sold for $31k, but it was a Lexus. If it would have had the landcruiser on the back then it would have sold for the higher price. It's crazy to think that a Toyota would have higher resale than the Lexus for basically the same vehicle, but that's what's going on now. The 1994 LC with 124k miles and no lockers sold for $32,500. So double the miles and no locker sold for more than the Lexus. It's the Toyota tax.
This 97 LC with 183k miles is coming up next. It's crazy how the last 30 minutes will bump prices up by a lot.
No Reserve: 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80
Bid for the chance to own a No Reserve: 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80 at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online. Lot #43,985.
This one only got up to 20K with reserve not met. I'm guessing it's the two tone color, but it seems that BAT is being bombarded by 80 series owner's looking to cash in.

One should buy a Lexus and put a Toyota badge and LC logo on it!
Well I just contacted the seller from the 97 LX sold today on BAT. He's bummed it didnt sell for higher. I told him he should of taken my offer back in December!
He said the winner is trying to get financed. Hard to get a loan for a vehicle that is worth 8k on KBB.
I told him to contact me if it falls through.
Anyone have a mint LC let me know!

That’s clearly a flipper who didn’t do much, if any baseline work.This one only got up to 20K with reserve not met. I'm guessing it's the two tone color, but it seems that BAT is being bombarded by 80 series owner's looking to cash in.

To be fair, the paint on a lot of the 64k mile LX450 was trashed. The seller is not very smart thinking he could cash in at over $50k for a truck with bad paint, no matter how low the mileage is. These trucks just aren’t at that point yet and probably never will be.
Prices have been crazy, I kind of get it and at the same time don't.
I don't even want to mention what I paid for my CA 95 3x locked a few years ago now lol
Practically stole it

As an LX owner, this is sad but true. Something about the side cladding possibly. On the flip side, I love my LX and was looking for one specifically because of some of the interior features. Time will tell if the market comes to accept them equally...
Next up...at first glance this looks awesome with low miles, but then I took a look at the underside and holy sh*t. We'll see how much this closet "rust bucket" will bring.

What is the consensus view on what the LX discount is - either % or $??
