I have set a reasonable reserve for the Land Cruiser. It is commensurate with the vehicles condition, the ownership history, the care it has received and the low mileage.

I have selected pictures that best present a concise overview of the truck. If you would like any area specific pictures, simply request them.

Thank you.On May-23-12 at 07:29:30 PDT, seller added the following information: In the interest of full disclosure, I provide the following: I purchased the LC through the estate of extended family in April of 2011. At that time, the truck had approximately 56K miles on it. An AutoCheck report indicated no anomalies and reflected the original in service date w/approx. 340 miles. The family owned therapy clinics throughout Oklahoma and Missouri. Their service vehicles for those clinics, were four different Land Cruisers. Yesterday morning, an individual in Texas apprised me that he had run a Carfax report on the LC, which indicated a number of service records that state inconsistent & higher mileage discrepancies as well as an accident ascribed to this LC. I was clearly dubious of the report. Upon viewing it for myself, I set about yesterday to try and determine why these entries were ascribed to my LC. As best as can possibly be concluded, this LC, upon presenting for dealer service has had service records recorded under another of their at the time, LC vehicle(s). Those LC's were leased vehicles, they were utilized exclusively for business purposes and were of higher mileage. It is evident that no paint work has been done anywhere on this truck. There are no existing tell tale over spray tape lines which would be present. In addition, ALL factory "break away" VIN decals are still affixed to their respective body panels as they were when the LC left the factory. The bottom line is that I cannot explain away the information contained within the Carfax report. Once one is in the physical presence of the truck, its condition and mileage is readily apparent. The bottom line is that if you are the winning bidder, upon arriving to pick it up the truck, if it is not as described, you do not have to purchase it. Thank you, JeffOn May-27-12 at 13:13:23 PDT, seller added the following information: I just had to block two idiot boneheads that think they're cute by bidding to expose the high bid and then retracting their bids. Now you both can go stick a fork in each of your asses. You're done...NO FURTHER BIDS FOR YOU!
