Hello Guys,
I am a Toyota enthusiastic, I never had a LC but always wanted one because I want to travel with it for some years. I am looking for an old LC because I don't want to put too much money in a car but still want something super-reliable which can take me almost everywhere and that I can fix/maintain myself.
I may have a good opportunity to buy a LJ78 2.4 TD 1998 very cheap (maybe too cheap - 1000GBP). But I don't know anything about these cars at all.
I am sorry to bother you with stupid questions but here are they:
- Do you know how much it consumption? I have to travel for long distances on bumpy roads so it is important to me.
- Are these 2.4 TD reliable? The car must have around 150,000 miles already and I wonder how long it can still go. I am always afraid of the Turbo because it usually weaken the engines, does't it?
- Is the 2.8L stronger? All I am interested in is reliability and low consumption, I really don't mind/need power.
- What are the main points (weaknesses) to mind when buying an old LC?
Thanks you very much.
Have a very nice day!
