Is this a rare Toyota? Is the price worth it?

    Pretty clean but I got a rust free well maintained 1994 80 series for around 10k with 180k miles and sometimes I feel like I overpaid but all good because it’s a 80 series Land Cruiser 😍

    For 20k you can buy a low mileage FJ Cruiser or 2010-ish 4Runner. An 80’s Landcruiser is not worth 20k to anyone except a collector… which I doubt you are because you’re asking this question.

    Something is up with that vehicle. The person posting the ad is clearly not a car person by some of the terms/ phrasing they used IMO.
    Those tires look bald AF too. That will run you another 10% of list right off the bat.
    Be sure to have it checked out by a mechanic you trust if after your own inspection you consider going forward.
    The motor from a 1993 land cruiser should have lasted much longer before needing a rebuild if it was properly maintained and/or not aggressively used.
    So IMO it was either used aggressively and I would be worried about other mechanicals like steering and transmission OR it was not maintained in which case I would still be worried about other mechanicals.

    If you have to ask whether an 80-series cruiser is good, I have two things to say:

    1. yes.

    2. it’s probably not what you want.
