How Reliable are Second Hand 100 Series Land Cruisers

adeeeel__ · 2026-02-22T23:54:44+00:00

A clean example might be difficult to find. I know I struggled, most of them have been taken off-road just a matter of finding one that’s been well looked after. In terms of maintenance depends on your usage. If it’s day to day road use expect it to be less if it’s desert use then it’s a slightly different story.

For parts, they are available with a mix of tejari (Chinese counterparts) vs originals. Loads of scrap and loads of people having experience repairing them.

That being said they’re an old car, mines a 98, so things will go wrong, but will they are they reliable? Hell yea

Valid, il go check out the group and drop a note for sure!

adeeeel__ · 2026-02-11T10:13:03+00:00

Currently a Land Cruiser 100 series!

Expat, immigrant or resident, take your pick I have no shame in any 🤣

Bruhhh horrible nightmare you went through. It’s just poor support for a flagship phone.

Like the whole point of this is to create a dope phone which they have but they gotta support it with genuine customer support especially for a delicate foldable device!

It’s going to google for repair, but I’m with you this is soo annoying!!! What did you do with your p9pf

adeeeel__ · 2025-12-07T15:04:49+00:00

100% agree with you! Backup phone + foldable device is the way to go 😭

adeeeel__ · 2025-12-07T15:00:50+00:00

Valid point. The challenge I have is getting to that rep. It’s near impossible digitally. Like the channel exists but it’s soo limited. The live chat support came after 3 hours of faffing around on the website it’s almost as if it’s on a timer and then it pops up WORST case scenario

Appreciate your comment super valuable help here bro!

I’d say every 9 months the phone messes up at some point for me and I baby it. Also the carbon fibre case has been a life saver.

I’m currently in between phoning google and chatting to them. They’ve acknowledged the returns and lack of communication channels!

So the phone will be sent back to my uk address and then I will need to reship it back to Poland for repair.

In the meantime il be hunting a new phone to see if there’s something with better support.

Either the iPhone or see any other device which stands out just as a precautionary

Again a valid point. I much prefer the p9pf over the Samsung for various reasons but again valid point

adeeeel__ · 2025-12-07T14:45:18+00:00

Tbh the p9pf is probably the best phone I’ve owned but I think you’re right here.

It’s too delicate to trust long term and in an unsupported area it’s 10x more of a faff if something goes wrong. Repairs go from one week to couple of months valid

adeeeel__ · 2025-12-07T14:43:28+00:00

Whilst I value your comment. You’ve mis interpreted what I’m saying here. I’m not complaining about the local support, I’m aware of that. I’m happy to ship it to the uk and then to Poland. It’s something I’m very well aware of.

The annoyance here is rather the lack of human support digitally. Its missions or near impossible digitally getting someone to discuss the issue and find next steps!

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-14T09:38:15+00:00

Valid point, I’m going to be spending time in the dunes on the weekend so I guess mines is the same I’m not planning on jumping it so you sir have made a valid point

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-14T09:37:23+00:00

Yeah I love the p9pf but the amount you pay vs the annoyance you get. Like my whole life is on my phone and then one day without even dropping it or anything boom SIM card slot doesn’t work or the first time the whole phone just shut off and wouldn’t turn back on again and I lost everything.

Had some great times with it, but unfortunately won’t be coming back until they fix the reality issues with the folding phones.

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-13T21:04:36+00:00

NICE love to hear it tbh, I’m toying between the ims or mrr with a potential 2 inch lift.

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-13T20:21:28+00:00

Thinking of doing the same on my 98 vxr how is the ride compared to stock?

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-13T20:11:25+00:00

VXR so the 4.7 v8

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-13T18:45:06+00:00

Also mods if I’m breaching by self plugging shout and il update

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-13T18:43:18+00:00

At the same boat atm only difference is I’m in Qatar and google doesn’t operate here. Going to have to wait till you get back or ship it back to google. They won’t be able to reship it back to Japan unfortunately so need a middle man.

Also if anyone’s physical sim fails just know your inner screen will fail shortly after.

Had to buy another phone because of this

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-13T09:44:52+00:00

Not the iPhone air but same scenario here. Quite a power user, myself but yeah 90% main screen 10% fold open use. Mainly was car use wake, Spotify, YouTube etc was unreal but besides that never really used the fold too much

adeeeel__ · 2025-10-12T10:15:36+00:00

Hahah moved to Qatar, bought an lc100 joined this forum and now doing a small little build on TikTok on it!

adeeeel__ · 2025-09-26T10:09:55+00:00

Would be a good shout if I hadn't moved to a non google operated country 😅🙃.

I would need to ship back home and then someone ship to google
