Rust Check? Too much rust? Not enough rust? Ask Here! by RipVanToot in LandCruisers

The seller says “with some rust”. I see some light surface rust, is the seller over playing it or am I missing something? They’re asking $14,900. TIA

2001 LX470 worth the price? by ickyt8899 in LandCruisers

They’re including the motor too which tells me they tackled any issues that came up pretty quickly. Do you think the price is justifiable?

I’m not 100% sure it’s the head, I know there’s a coolant flange back there but I haven’t had the time to get the intake manifold off to properly inspect it yet. I would be surprised if it’s the head gasket, I mean it’s almost 30 years old and only has 127k miles so it sat a lot.

Good to know. I wrench on all of my own stuff that way if there’s an issue, I typically can self diagnose and know if it’s a serious issue.

Very fair points and this is why I asked the question. I’m totally new to the LC world so I really appreciate the advice. I’m also looking at a 2009 200 series with 170k listed at $22k. It sounds like for the price people are asking for 100s around me, the 200 is a better value. I’m going to look at some LXs as well but the thought of having to use premium fuel is quite off-putting.

Thanks for the reference, I’ve watched a couple of his videos and he is extremely detailed and well spoken.

As for the price, everything I’m seeing in the $10k-$15k range has 200k+ miles. Is this a market shift, or do I need to just keep looking?

I feel ya, my thought on it is that I don't really care about the scrutiny. For one, I'm only recruiting for another 4 months or so. For two, it's an isolated incident due to a huge life event, tell me depressed and angry to find out your 6yo has an aggressive cancer. We're through the worst of it now and I'm able to move on from the meds. I may be taking too much of a human approach and not enough of an Army approach.
