Is it retarded to pay 20k+ for an 80 series land cruiser? Or should I just find a 100 series

They're almost all worth it, imo.

Why get an older Toyota rig for that much when you can get a newer and better one for not much more?

The GX is also just a Land Cruiser Prado with better seats. I know a few guys with LXs and GXs with 400k hard miles and very few problems

I listed the second gen LX because it's the top dog body on frame rig from Toyota. The creature comforts are so worth it. Just have to double check frame rust.

I'm a sucker for the 80s but the 100 is a solid unit.

Those LXs listed for same price are beastly , friend of mine has one and it's done some pretty hard core trails with very small mods and a great ride to tote his two little ones in style and comfort.

I'm helping a friend put an Sniper EFI system on his old FB rx7, never done the install before, I'm a bit sad because, well carbs sound better and I don't have to keep them in check for him. (got enough of my own)
 
Unless you pay way too much for an absolute shitter, it's very difficult to lose money on a 80 or 100 Series LC. They've done most (if not all) of their depreciation and good ones will only get more and more valuable as time goes on. That said, even the 200 Series doesn't look like it'll depreciate much any time soon (although they're still a bit new to really start dropping in value).

Yeah, I know. I was just letting him know he's got a lot of options across the board if he wants an LC. There's really not a bad option, thus the crazy devotion a lot of guys, myself included, have to them. My mom who has been a life long MOPAR lover has even told me that she likes my cruiser way more than any Jeep she's ever sat in from a pure comfort level.
 
Station wagon ftw! But that can wait when I have a family. I'd love to drive a fun sports car, no matter how impractical it may be. If I had money under 100k, a Shelby Mustang would be great.
 
I drive a lot for work and need to buy a company car before the end of the year for tax purposes. Joke's on me because I hate modern cars and have never bought a non-used car before. Unfortunately the IRS is unlikely to accept what I'd like to buy, which is a ratty old fox body Mustang with tons of white trash performance upgrades, as a company vehicle. So it unfortunately has to be new.

What's a new car that doesn't suck? No SUVs or crossovers, sedans and trucks fair game. Cannot be a shitbox and cannot be too high-end (>100k MSRP). Other than these factors I am open to absolutely anything.

If you're going economical but still useful and not terrible to drive

Car: Kia Stinger. RWD v6 4 door that's honestly a lot of fun to drive. Literally known as "the one good Kia" by my buddy who runs a Kia/Ford/Lincoln/Honda dealer service dept. Really it's the last good sedan that isn't a Lexus, Infiniti, BMW or Merc

Truck: The Ford Ranger is a good truck, economical, but a tad overpriced imo. The Maverick is supposed to be really good for being a small, FWD mini truck. The Tacoma is always a fair choice, too.

Toyota Camry XSE with the V6 and call it a day. Or the Avalon if you want something bigger. If you want rwd the Lexus IS. All are great for carefree driving and comfortable for work commutes.

With the 7.3, low mileage and that clean? For a collector, absolutely.

Bring a trailer is an auction site. Was probably listed at 30-40k to start

Why the fuck would you buy a Yota SUV in the first place?
Screenshot_20211220-153147_Google.jpg
4.0 ZJ or WJ with 4x4 (not awd). Will outlast every shitty Yota truck on the road, out crawl, out pull, and it wont snap in half like yotas have a tendency to do. Yota makes solid littlr 4 banger cars but their trucks/SUVs are pure garbage, and thr people who buy them tend to be soyfags or aussies

It was in response to a Land Cruiser being posted at a similar price. My thinking was if you're gonna spend 20k, just get a mk2 Lexus LX that do indeed exist around 20k. Dunno where you're getting that the Toyota V8s and V6 are unreliable when they're some of the most robust engines out there. The Grand Cherokee also can't compare in tow capacity to the LX.

All the time. It's what made me particularly wary when Nissans (particularly Altimas, Rogues and Sentras) are in my general vicinity. It seems that one does not come into modern Nissan ownership from a good place in life.

This is objectivly wrong

Land cruisers can and often do literally outlast everything. There's a reason why no one who runs 4x4s professionally in Africa, Asia or the ME uses Jeeps (the sole exception being straight six chinese reproduction XJs in certain areas of China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan). It's all LCs, Defenders and the ever rare G-wagons running men, materials and weapons with the most shoestring maintenance schedules possible.

The survival rate to 500k kilometers has extremely few Grand Cherokees, because lifting a minivan and giving it a hilariously unreliable MOPAR engine half heartedly designed for them by Mercedes isn't a recipe for success.





Goddamit, that post was bait, wasn't it?
