This cruiser sold for 165 last year and buyer never followed thru

My buddy had one of the previous body style wagons, a 1990 . They drove 300,000 miles and sold it a few years ago for more than he paid for it.

That is some serious resale value.

The guy with the LX450 is probably like WTF?

There’s an ass for every seat. Even dumbasses. Guy musta have gotten his first piece of ass in the backseat of a 97 Landcruiser. .

That was one of the best auctions I’ve ever seen go down, bidding back and forth in 5k increments from 140 to 170

Never seen anything like that

Yeah, it was entertaining. The winner snuck in the final bid at the very last second. I will say though, it kinda looked like he was late and they accepted it, but I don’t know anything about how it works.

Every time you bid within the last minute it extends the auction by another 2 minutes.

Geez, another 100,000 more and you could have a pontoon boat.

I got my first taste of the apple in the backseat of 64? Dodge Dart with plastic seat covers in Yuma during the summer. Doesn’t mean I would EVER buy another lol. Still remember her name though.

My buddy pulls up in a brand new Tacoma . . . and this dude has NO MONEY, I mean ZERO.
I said, 'where the F did you get the money for this thing'???
He replied, 'Remember that Landcruiser I had??? . . . I sold it for $50K'.
I told him, 'I wouldn't have given you $10K for that POS'.
He said, 'That's what I paidf for it' . . . .

Any super low mile Toyota goes for big bucks.
FJ Cruisers going over $100k

Youd think manufactures would learn something. Old Tacomas, FJ cruiser Land cruisers, 7.3 all bring dollars.

People will pay and kill to have a simple, dependable, durable vehicle.

It’s a shame I tend to put miles on mine. Just sold a 1/4 million mile 4runner for $3500.

The Feds, to some extent. But the manufacturers love to load vehicles with high tech features to add profits.

I say this all the time about dirt bikes. Build something with way less engine maintenance requirements and suspension with no linkage, special coatings, etc. I think they would sell more than enough to the non-racing riders. Of course hop up kits would be available if they wanted to go racing.
Not many people can find the limits on a $10,000 dirt bike.

Has no money, turns a 40K profit, and blows it on a new car. Wonders why he has no money.

You can usually find a poverty package model that has limited tech features, but you can’t opt out of 25 air bags, lane departure warning, automatic braking, and all the other ADAS shit that they put in everything simply to try and avoid being sued because they didn’t.

Couple years ago I bought the newest thing I’ve ever owned…2016 Tacoma. I don’t like it very much…one of the biggest problems is visibility. The A pillars are huge because they have airbags in them…which will probably come in handy after I hit something that I couldn’t see because the big ass fucking a-pillar blocking the view. More than a few occasions I’ve looked both ways at a 2 way stop, and not having seen anyone coming, proceed across the intersection only to stand on the brakes as the corner of my eye caught a crossing vehicle that appeared out of nowhere…or from behind the a-pillar.

Would be safer without this feature, and many more like it.

I have done the same shit in the tahoe. I have to rock back and forth like a tweaker making sure i don't run anyone over. Been close way too many times, also being in socal I just feel like i'm going to hit a hobo at all times lmfao.
