RENTAL 200?

[ryanCA]

This 200 in Eugene, OR with 200K miles is listed as rental. All the years I have been renting cars in USA, aside from being able to rent exotics, I haven't seen any rental Land Cruiser.

Anybody here see this truck. Curious about the rental history. (I don't need a 3rd LC in the house), just curious.

Thanks

Makes sense why it has crazy miles. My guess would be something like the Prestige collection at Hertz or something similar.

Think it will sell ?

I doubt it will at that price. There was a local-ish 2008 LC white with dark interior, 109k miles, good service listed at $29k, and it took over a month to sell (which makes me think it sold for less). I think regardless of how well made and nice a vehicle is, 200k of rental use will make its dent (likely literally) in the sheen of a car.

Really? For me it shows a website that helps you locate Toyota's for RENT.

If you actually go through the process of trying to find one for rent it's next to impossible. I tried doing that years ago, and there were only like 2 dealers in the country who offered a Land Cruiser for rent. They also severely restricted the number of miles you could use, and they required you to "try before you buy" rental which IIRC maybe even required a deposit on an LC before they let you drive it. Definitely not like a normal rental or loaner at all.

Ya. Frankly, I have rarely seen Toyotas in rental company fleets.

More often than not, I see less desirable, less competitive brands and models...likely bought for peanuts from over-stocked manufacturers. I have no facts to back that up... but I've always found it interesting that Honda, Toyota and other top sellers are rarely seen on rental lots.

Just FYI: I've rented many times from Avis in Sheridan, WY and Billings, MT. I've gotten Toyota Camrys, Subaru Outbacks, and Toyota 4Runners (twice I got a Trail model 4Runner!). Also Fords and Chevys. Never a Land Cruiser!

You see tons of Corollas and Siennas on rental lots. Even lots of Avalons. Not much Honda, as they barely do fleet sales.

Hertz Pretige collection I used a few times in Dallas are high end European. Never in 17 years of renting did I find a LC
