Thread: Landcruiser vx

I've got a petrol Territory Ghia as well as a diesel Prado. I reackon the Territory is just as economical if not more so than the Prado, and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better to drive.

There are still some nice 100 series 4.2 TD Cruisers around Brads - eg - Toyota Land Cruiser VX 100 Series NZ New D... 2001 | Trade Me
I have had a 2000 model since new - done 142k - will see me out - just put its third set of tyres and a new set of shocks under it - drives like a new car again
God only knows what these cars will do if they are well serviced but must be a big number

And this right here is the issue with these discussions
My 747 avgas can get me to London on a single tank!!! Yet my 20 year old diesel only gets me to wellington and back.

Never seen a 747 run on AvGas yet but the old fuckers burn about 200 tons of AvTur to London via LAX, it's a dirty industry.

Yep you have to rate the 100 series, the biggest problem now with them is they still seam to be the same price as they were 8+ years ago, all that Toyota stuff just seems to get to a price point and the price never moves again.
