We purchased a new Tacoma and have decided to sell, "Frank the Tank." He's a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Edition with only 128,000 original miles. The truck runs, looks, and drives excellent. It's lived in Arizona its entire life and is rust free. We purchased it from the original elderly owners in Phoenix last summer whom purchased the LC locally in 1997 for the wife's 50th birthday. Included in the sale will be the original window sticker from Superstition Springs Toyota in Mesa, Arizona from 1997, all original paperwork including brochures/warranty cards, etc, and all 3 keys. (one of the keys still has the original remote attached) It has a perfect Carfax with no accidents. (Carfax lists the vehicle as corporate but that's due to it being in a Family Trust... Carfax considers Family Trusts as corporate for some reason?) I went a little overboard with my certified Toyota master mechanic and had him change out everything and anything last summer in order to bring it back to near showroom condition. The following was performed simply out of my O.C.D nature and of no mechanical faults. Only Toyota OEM parts were used right down to every nut and bolt. The Land Cruiser is 100% factory OEM and is exactly how it would have come from Tokyo Factory in February of 1997. *Front Axles were repacked with all OEM bearings, parts, etc... (huge job and over $1,500 at the dealership)*All fluids changed: engine/radiator coolant, oil change, transfer case, both differentials, brake fluid flushed, etc.*Front & Rear Brake Pads, Rotors, shims, etc...even the breather caps were replaced*4 New OEM Toyota Shocks*All new hoses and belts. Even the pesky heater hoses and that really troublesome heater hose in the back of the engine.*New Water Pump & thermostat.*New Valve Cover Gasket*New Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Wires, Cap & Rotor.*New Oil Pump and Crankshaft Seals. *There maybe some more items I replaced being an anal truck owner which I'll add later if I remember. All maintenance records from day one of the previous owner will be included as well. If anyone would like a particular picture of something, please let me know and I can have it up on Ebay within a few hours. Interior: *The interior is in excellent condition with no rips or tears in any of the seats. Some light wear in the front seats but the back and third row were rarely sat in. Everything works including the heat, AC, cruise control, all windows, door locks, gauges, radio, tape player, and CD player. The passenger seat motor works but won't go back and forth... only the lumbar and height adjust work. Also, the "D" light is burned out on the dashboard which I guess is a common problem. Exterior: *It still shines with the original paint as the truck has been garaged its entire life. Certainly expect some minor blemishes here and there in the way of scratches and scuffs. There's a small ding that probably isn't noticeable in the pics at the front left quarter panel. (someone backed into it in the parking lot) I've posted a close-up pic on here so you can examine it further. The headlight also took a small crack but works fine and is easily fixable. I'm guessing around a $1,000 invested and the Land Cruiser would be close to showroom condition. Lastly, the antenna motor runs but the rod doesn't go up or down? *Tires are in excellent shape with deep grooves and are Michelin LTX M/S. They were replaced at around 119,000 miles. (about ten-thousand miles ago) Engine: The engine compartment is clean enough to eat off. It's nicer looking than my Tacoma. I try and wipe it down anytime it accumulates a little dirt in there. PAYMENT: A $500 non-refundable paypal deposit is required immediately. The remaining funds will be cashier's check or bank wire. I expect the full amount within 7 days of auction end. Please make sure you can afford this vehicle and have all funds in place prior to our discussions. I can help with shipping from Flagstaff, Arizona but will not be responsible for find a transport service or driving it anywhere outside my home town. There's a "Little America" truck stop here in Flagstaff right off the freeway where I can meet your truck carrier. Again, please only serious inquiries. Thank you.
