(eBay is great but please only bid if you are ready to buy and have already asked your wife, mother, dog and your kids teacher for permission and have your funds ready to purchase) I have sold some very nice Land Cruisers and various vintage 4x4's here on eBay with super happy buyers so bid with confidence Now on to the truck: 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, 4WD, 4x4 with front, rear and center diff lock. White with gray leather interior, California since new. ZERO rust. Look at all the photos. Clean CarFax, no accidents. 3 owners been in Santa Barbara since 1998. This is a fantastic example of an extremely well kept and nicely upgraded Land Cruiser. Was purchased new right here in California. Very rare to find an 80 Series with only 78K original miles in this well cared for condition. It will be a long time before another 80 Series of this caliber comes along. Act quickly before I change my mind. 4.5 Liter fuel injected straight 6, automatic full-time 4x4 (4WD) with low range and front, rear and center diff lock. Moonroof, 3rd row seats, etc. This truck needs nothing. Has an incredible service history with stellar preventative maintenance. It runs, drives, brakes and shifts perfectly and is a pleasure to drive. Shifts into 4 low super smoothly, all diff locks engage quickly. Being this well kept and low miles EVERYTHING works on this cruiser. The power windows work great. Both power seats works work perfectly, the power mirrors, power button, 2nd gear start button, moonroof etc. Even the "D" light works. All original glass all the way around. Cold AC, wipers/washers work great and correctly. No issues to mention of any kind.

Factory front bumper, rear bumper ends and aluminum cover plate and running boards come with the Cruiser as well. OEM mud flaps trimmed a little to improve clearance. The exterior is in awesome condition. 100% original paint looking great with a few character dings and very small scratches here and there noted in the photos. Hard to see but very fine desert pin striping from a few forest service roads. Very hard to see and I think I am the only one who notices them. Please look closely at the photos I tried to zero in on any blemishes. The original jack and tool kit are present. All original VIN stickers are present showing all original body panels, hood, rear hatch etc. Doesn't leak any oil. The interior is in fantastic original condition. All original seats, carpet etc. The leather seats are original and had seat covers on them since 2006 (recently removed) and are in near new condition. The dash controls, the dash plastics, the console, the gear shifts, the carpet, the headliner are very nice or perfect. No funny smells. Never smoked in. Original stereo works and sounds good. Toyota Keyless entry. Overall this Cruiser just may be as good as it gets for this vintage. One of the very best body styles and solid front axle. A very low miles rig, with very nice upgrades. It doesn't need anything. It's completely dialed in and ALL services are up to date. Just enjoy this Cruiser. Most Cruisers need something done or have been neglected in some way. Not this one. It's been so well cared for and used gently as Cruiser was meant to used. The family that owned before me used for camping and exploring the California wilderness via forest roads. They owned many nice cars and only put on average 2000 miles per year. You will not find another 80 like this needing nothing. It's ready to go! What else can I tell you?
