I’m selling my 1994 Toyota 80-Series Land Cruiser purchased from BAT in September 2019 while living in Texas and am the second owner outside of a short time with the selling dealer. As you will see when you read the Bring a Trailer listing, this started as a good truck, and it has been made better and more dependable. Carfax shows 2-owners. The truck has spent time in Pennsylvania, Montana, Texas and now Santa Fe New Mexico.

Thank you for looking. Let me know what questions you have and if you need more details on anything.

Price: $49,500 $41,500 (obo). NOW SOLD.​
Mileage: 150,100​
Location: Santa Fe New Mexico​
Title: Clean Texas​


The truck is in great overall shape and everything material is working and drives and handles as you would want. Large collection of images from my purchase including the undercarriage can be seen in the gallery. No interior leaks, no smells, non-smoking.

Recent work was completed by noted Toyota mechanic (and LC specialist) Michael Potter in Santa Fe and we have addressed any issues found during his inspections.

Since purchasing I have sorted various mechanical issues, fully baselined fluids, belts, and hoses. Beyond maintenance, I have made numerous upgrades with some notable changes: added a Bowfin Cruisers roof rack, complete stereo upgrade and a rear tailgate storage hatch from BackBay Customs.

The stereo work on the truck included sound deadening in the front doors, Kenwood touchscreen head unit (with Bluetooth + wireless carplay), back-up and dash cameras, JL Audio amplifier, JL Audio 10-inch sub and custom fabricated enclosure in the original factory location, Unity component speakers up front and JL audio speakers in the rear doors.

The stereo sounds so much better than the 2019 Bose system in my Chevrolet Colorado.

The previous owner outfitted the truck in 2018 for a safari adventure tour in South Africa, though the trip never materialized. Power comes from a 4.5L 1Z-FE inline-six is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case, and factory locking front, center, and rear differentials.

The truck is finished in Dark Emerald Green, and the wheels and fender flares have been color-keyed to the factory bumpers. Fitted to the ARB front bumper is a Warn 10,000-pound winch with newer synthetic rope, and IPF auxiliary lighting. The winch and lighting are wired to a separate marine-grade fuse panel.

Under previous ownership modifications include heated and cooled Recaro Ergomed front seats and an Old Man Emu 2″ lift kit with camber adjustment bushings. Higher-rate front springs are fitted for compatibility with the heavier aftermarket front bumper and winch.

The swing-out spare tire carrier (Tamerlan) is affixed to the factory rear bumper with a rubber isolator hinge and is equipped with a mount for a high-lift jack and shovel. The BFGoodrich K02 tires were fitted within the last 4,000 miles and measure 305/70.

The factory third row and front seats are included along with the factory head unit and assorted spare or replacement parts, service receipts, original manuals and window sticker.

Back from the shop with the power steering fixed! Gasket replacement on steering adjusting bolt, flush and fresh fluid.
 
That price isn't real right?
$49,500 for a 1994 with 150,000 miles on odometer.

I also think that price looks a bit high for that vehicle. But I like how a seller can ask for any amount of money for his car. Well, if there is no buyer, the car will not sell and maybe he will have to reduce the price or has to keep his car.

Who knows? Maybe someone may buy it since used car prices have all gone up these days. Maybe that is one reason for the high price.
 
At the original price of 49.5K, it was competitive. At the new reduced price of 41.5k, it is a steal. I am strongly contemplating buying this over the new Ford Bronco Badlands.

Though the Bronco has newer more efficient drivetrain, comes with 35inch tires stock, is more safer given more airbags, is more capable and has a factory warranty, this is a TOYOTA... and that too a LANDCRUISER. Period...

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. If it is, bravo.
