I had it inspected by Land Cruiser specialists at Comprehensive Auto Care in Denver when I originally purchased the vehicle on August 7, 2013. I’ve taken very good careof the vehicle. Until 48 hours ago, I had not driven this car in about 2.5 years, though I’d start it every now and then to re-charge the battery, which I replaced in and has very little run-time on it. This cruiser still runs very strong.

Title is in my name, and I’ve own the car for 8 years. ALL PICTURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN LAST 48 HOURS, AS OF POSTING THIS ON AUGUST 12, 2021. (Note: Regarding the pictures, I have not washed the exterior or interior of this car in more than 3 years. I thought about waiting to make this post until after I’d detailed it, but I snapped some pics and figured I’d get it out there. Please reach out directly to see the car or for specific pictures, videos, etc.)

Of course, you can verify all dates and facts about the car via the title, emissions reports, and other paperwork I have for it...

In the last 48 hours, I’ve:
- Re-insured and re-registered the car, which is why the car has “new” plates on it (see pictures); if I sell it within the next 28 days, I do not need to go back to the DMV to have my old plates put back on the vehicle.
- Taken it to AirCare Colorado, where the car passed all emissions tests (I have the documentation).
- Added brand new BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 285/75R-16 tires via Discount Tire (see pictures). All-in with mounting, balancing, taxes, and transferrable insurance ~$1,300. These new tires come with 1) a 50,000-mile warranty 2) I paid for the extra coverage to insure the tires against ANY total loss damage (i.e. nail, tree branch, etc.), which will transfer to the new owner because I have the receipts (or they can always use my phone number and transfer it to your phone number). So, if these blow out, before 50,000 miles for any reason, Discount Tire will replace these exact tires free of charge. As of this posting, I’ve only put about ~130 miles on these tires.
- Took it up I-70 to Clear Creek Canyon to Blackhawk (see pictures) and back down the canyon through Golden to Denver, so it still runs great on the highway and pulls its weight up those Colorado hills!

* Full time 4wd (4x4, AWD)
* Only modification is a Slee front bumper (see pics), which I had installed.
* Grey leather, and all the leather is intact. There is no cracking or breaking on the seats. In the pictures, you’ll see the grey “Superhides” from Marathon Seat Covers. I ordered these specifically for this make/model Cruiser when I purchased the car (see Custom High Quality Truck and SUV Seat Covers | Marathon Seat Covers - https://www.marathonseatcovers.com/) to preserve the leather. They’ve done a wonderful job and you can easily remove them to wash them, though I have not done so in years. Superhides and WeatherTech floormats included!
* Jump seats included; I’ve put them in the trunk, though have not clipped them in (see pictures).

Over the years, I’ve regularly serviced the car. I’ve stayed on top of fluid flushes and changes, replaced brakes and rotors, replaced the steering column, and I actually replaced the catalytic converter on March 19, 2018, which is essentially when I stopped driving the car. Since I’ve owned the car, I’ve always had it serviced at Comprehensive Auto Care in Denver, which was recently purchased by a new owner and is now called Urban Autocare (701 E Evans Ave); I called them the other day and they have all my service records on file, which I can pull if need be.

The only problems with this cruiser are cosmetic. Some bumps and bruises on it, and stuff you’d regularly find on a 25-year-old rig. Stuff like...there is some clear coat peeling and a ding on the back bumper. Driver’s side mirror needs a slight fix, though mirror glass is not broken and the actual mirror is not broken either (I can show you in pics/video or over the phone). You’ll also notice it is missing its “Full-Time 4WD” and “Land Cruiser” badges on the backside/trunk. Someone pulled these off my car, but they’re very cheap to replace. I’M PLANNING TO CLEAN/VACCUM THE CAR THIS WEEKEND, FIX THE MIRROR, AND ORDER THE BADGES. SO, MAYBE SOME OF THIS STUFF WILL BE FIXED WHEN YOU COME SEE THE CRUISER…BUT MAYBE IT WON’T BE. EASY AND MINOR FIXES.

In general, this cruiser is in great shape, it is mechanically sound and a terrific drive and, and it will be a fun toy for its new owner. It is priced to sell.

P.S. It does NOT have lockers. Thanks!
UPDATE:

1) This Cruiser's undercarriage is one of its highlights, given its age! For those requesting undercarriage pics...adding some here and in follow-up.
2) I am cleaning the interior this weekend, and will add pics and can send specific pics you want.
3) Stopped by mechanic today for some small fixes, likely will drop the car off next week for some of the fixes mentioned in the original post.

UPDATE AUGUST 16, 2021: After several calls and meeting some people to look at the car, I am reducing the price to $13,000.00. Gauged the market here and adjusting the price to sell soon. Please reach out soon if interested. Lack of rust on undercarriage, new catalytic converter, and brand new tires have people interested. Call or text 303-956-4983 or email 528027LandCruiserSale@gmail.com

Thanks!
 
Ok, one more update...

Since posting the price reduction 35 minutes ago, some people have reached out wondering stuff like...

"Why the price reduction? What did the mechanic say? Any upcoming repairs? What did you plan to repair? How many panels need pain, just the hood?"

Figure it is easiest to be transparent and just post an all-encompassing reply here, as I've tried to be pretty thorough with these posts and pictures:

*I've reduced the price because since posting the car/pictures 4 days ago several people have made offers in the $12,000-$13,000 range. So, I've adjusted the price to reflect where I'm at and to see if anyone else wants to jump in.

*The mechanics continue to be very impressed by the undercarriage of this vehicle...a local mechanic has actually already offered to buy it.

*I stopped by mechanic to:

a) Have him check fluids...check power steering level and the oil since I haven’t been driving the car. Both were all good, though he added a few oz of power steering fluid. Nothing needed to be flushed or changed.

B) Have him check out the drivers side mirror. Motor needs to be replaced, which is as simple as purchasing one online and installing it.

*Biggest maintenance I had planned for was the tires, which I bought brand new from Discount Tire and had put on less than a week ago at Discount Tire. I think there are about 250 miles on the new tires, as I’ve been driving the car the last few days to see if I notice any hiccups...and because I know I’ll be selling the car soon so I’m just enjoying the ride while I still can! And it is a nice, fun ride! I continue to be impressed how well this car drives around the city, on the highway, and even through the mountains.

*Paint: Clear coat peeled on/near the hood and on some of the fenders. As I’ve said, there are some bumps and bruises on her since she is 25 years old, but honestly she looks pretty good...and the black paint helps.
 
UPDATE AUGUST 19, 2021: Easiest to post here for everyone reaching out. I showed the car again this morning and look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. Good feedback; the steering is tight, the undercarriage is terrific, etc. Interior is good.

RE: CARFAX & Ownership: I just ran a new Carfax report on the car, so you can review it when you look at the car.
*Carfax is totally clean (no accidents or salvage reported)
**I am the 3rd owner of this Cruiser (as I had recalled)
***The car has been a Colorado car its whole life (Denver and Wheat Ridge)...hence the lack of rust on the vehicle.
 
UPDATE #2 AUGUST 19, 2021: I've been asked about body rust. The body is essentially rust free as far as I can tell; those who've come to see the car have also remarked on how rust free the body and undercarriage are. That said, someone who has yet to come take a look in-person just asked me if there is rust on the gap between the doors and the running boards. I think this is just an illusion created by dust and lighting in some of the previous pictures I posted. THERE IS NO RUST ON THE DOOR GAP ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. Attaching 4 photos that show both sides of the car, just took these now that the rain stopped here in Denver. Video also available to interested parties. Thanks!

Good looking truck! Any upgrades to the interior?
 
Thanks! Interior has been detailed and fully cleaned out. Everything is factory and works (i.e. radio/CD, electric seats, etc.) The leather is intact and covered by the Marathon "Superhide" seat covers, which I will include in the sale of the vehicle. For specific pics or videos just shoot me a text. I'll probably pull the trigger on a sale soon.
