These cars are not having a new revival or anything silly like that. A Good Looking Toyota Landcruiser 80 series with Diesel and manual Gearbox was never out of style from the beginning. They have simply got better with age and available accessories that the owners have sprayed around them over the years. This cool cruiser is no exception to that exposure. We like this car for that manual gearbox and that lovely strong diesel 4.2-litre engine, nice running boards and those super great-looking wheels with a simple centre cap look, which are new in vogue look.

Auction Report

65065 USS Tokyo, Toyota Landcruiser 80 GX, white, back doors open sideways, diesel engine, manual gearbox car, 4WD, fender mirrors, navigation brain unit missing, aftermarket shock absorber, seat worn + trim tear + tobacco burnt hole (s) 3cm, door mirror scratches, seatback tear, bottom small rust, trunk scratches

Auction Grade 3.5

It’s exceptionally rare that I find myself agreeing with the auction about grades these days as it was only last week while walking USS Tokyo that I saw a short wheelbase cruiser that had been converted to a ute and the roof was taped on due to the amount of rust in the car. This car is accurately rated as it does have some small knocks and bruises around plus rust underneath. However, it’s a good report and a good-looking car.

Interior Grade C

Again no real shock here as the car has some cig burns which are quite heavy. It has also traveled 260,000klm so you would expect somewhere. However, the video really does look quite good. When you consider the mileage and age of the car you must tip your hat to the interior build quality in these older Landcruisers. Yes, it certainly has had a life but if you were to look at another 4X4 that had done this sort of distance I doubt you could match them up condition-wise.

Reasons To Buy one

We are receiving more emails and calls for Landcruisers than any other car currently. It used to be 911s but they are now impossible to buy at affordable money. These Cruisers in diesel never made it to the USA so there is one market where the demand for these SUVs will increase in any drivetrain format. Watch out for autos as they will also become hard to buy soon. If you can get your grubby hands-on manual good for you. These are the SUVs from Japan to buy right now.

Don’t hesitate to get one now if you’re in the market. Contact me today.
