Sweet Amazon! General condition looks good (about right for a 66k mi. vehicle). I would want to diligence the undercarriage for corrosion given the NY ownership history and significant use of black spray paint underneath (bolts are blackened). Also, zero service entries on Carfax until a significant service performed at the dealership at 66k miles and then they turn around and sell it? Or maybe the dealership took it in on trade, did the work, and passed it off to the ebay seller?
 
As someone with a rusty NY LC, it's so clear that they sprayed the bottom specifically to cover up surface rust and misrepresent it for top dollar. They simultaneously listed a black one with 100k from NJ that wasn't sprayed. If you look closely at the rear axle housing and places like the panhard bar, you can see the surface rust that was covered up. It's not like the rust that is there would've been that detrimental, so it doesn't make sense to do such a poor spray job. You can clearly see the color mismatch on the rear shocks, specifically the left side.

FWIW, this was a nicer example that sold 2 months ago that seemingly no one noticed: https://www.hemmings.com/auction/2014-toyota-land-cruiser-ny-638587/sold

So you don’t recommend buying a Japanese truck from “European Cars”?

Got it! :lol:
 
Let's be fair, I do not see any sign of spray on the under carriage and the seller has good reviews, it is indicated clearly no rust in the listing.
