1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Model in Sage Pearl with Two Tone Brown Interior. Just Toyota Dealership inspected and Serviced Please READ the description: This was a loaded One Owner 40th Anniversary Land Cruiser that was a Toyota / Lexus Dealership Maintained Soccer Mom cruiser from Highland Park,Texas (No snow or salt!) . A couple named Ken and Laura bought this and maintained it well. They traded it on another New Toyota in Iowa and left the original books in tact. I purchased this Original Rust Free Land Cruiser from a Toyota Dealer in Iowa several months back and then took it to my Toyota dealer where I spend $479 to tidy up the rear brakes, hood gas shocks, a license plate bulb, wiper inserts, replace the cracked rear badge and align it. Recent work done by the selling Toyota Store included a new factory radiator and a safety inspection. The Michelin Tires have great tread (75%) but show some signs of aging as all Michelin LTX tires do with age, My Toyota technicians told me to drive on them as they were fine and do not need replaced. I am a picky guy and want the bidders to know everything I do ......The Toyota dealership owner's son in Iowa was driving it at the time and It had been serviced and ready to drive when I bought it. Rarely do you find a truly rust free original Land Cruiser that has been kept this well. All the original VIN stickers are present with the exception of the RF fender that looks to be the original so ....No records of any damage on CARFAX , all clean. The carpets are very nice (drivers has some light stainage but could be shampooed out)and have been protected by the factory mats since new (also in fair shape)but the front mats are showing some wear and the mat pad on the driver side is unglued from being wet (sunroof drains were clogged and now fixed), the carpet got soaked on the drivers side when the dealer 1st washed it, we made them dry it all out and then the rubber mat came loose, carpet glue would put it back but I would rather have a real upholstery shop do the job. ..........The seat covers have been re-upholstered at some time in the last year or so as they are flawless. Look at the pictures, I took them to show the condition of this really nice Toyota. This is a really nice but not a mint vehicle and has been used so there are a few scratches and some small chips. There are two small dings (made by taillight covers)on the quarter panels that could be sorted easily by a qualified PDR repairman in an hour or so and an indention where someone made a small indention near the rear emblem. There is also a paint rub on the front grill guard ion the right side and some door chips from parking lot rash on the two rear fender flares . I purposely has NOT tried to cover any flaws so someone can take it to a really talented touch up man for detail (or not). We have driven it on several short trips very nice...., It does not have the optional electric locking differential but it could be installed, parts are readily available. I have kept it as nice and have the vehicle uses a quart of oil every 800 to 1000 miles or so. No leaks are present as of last inspection. The local Toyota techs say is normal for this amount of miles on this Big Six. There is also a Security system from Southeast Toyota and I have included another NEW remote with the vehicle along with the original key code plate and extra keys. In the back inside well Includes Factory Jack, Factory Toolkit and underneath Full Factory spare. I am describing this vehicle as honestly as possible as that is what I expect when I am trying to purchase cars or trucks. This is one of the nicest FJ80's I have owned and I will miss it. I cannot keep all the cars I have (car enthusiast sounds better than car "nut" or "crazy") and this one (and another beloved piece according to my wife) must go to a new home (if momma ain't happy........).
