Why is Land Cruiser so expensive? What's so special about it?

[crazy_boy]

CB, word of caution kay Dr G's ha...masisiraan ka ulo don sa dami at ganda ng mga LC's - from 40 to 200 series. Hehe

Hehe mukhang masisira nga ulo ko dun. Baka hindi na ako umalis when i go there

Sumasama loob ko pag nandun ako kay Dr. Gs... Lalo na pag nagkatabi yung kotse ko sa ibang LCs dun.

They have no website but they're usually at the car/sport truck shows.

Timbre kita. The LC80 is supposed to go in for body repairs pero napopostpone lagi for one reason or another. Mag tag-ulan nanaman soon so tingin ko, late this year na ulit i-schedule yun. Tanong mo din si Doc Otep when he'll go there again.

My pal's Mitsu is at Doc G's, i dropped by to check on the work. The shop may seem to work slow (almost a week for my t belt replacement and minor works) but they are very meticulous and careful with what they do.

Even my ambulance gets serviced there

My father bought the second to the last FJ40 that Delta Motors was selling in Negros way back in 1983. Our "post-it" yellow Rando Kuruza, sported a Toyota B diesel engine, power steering, factory Nippondenso aircon, manual lock/unlock hubs, and an AM/FM radio.

I learned to drive on it, my sister learned to drive on it too. Come hell or high water (river fording) ... it still runs. Up until now, my father uses it as his daily beater basher in and around the farm. And somebody is asking if he's (my father) selling it. I doubt that.

Buti pa sa US, one can buy a 93 LC for $2K

1st dibs? I'll buy it at the 1980s SRP.

Checked other US websites, yung mga LC60s and LC70s, nasa 16-20K usd ang price. Ang mahal din.

The guy wanting to buy it was offering 150K as-is condition. I asked my father how much he bought it brand new way back 1983, he told me 75K "daw". Nakalimutan nya na rin ..

Are the periodic maintenance costs of both LC150 & LC200 expensive? Are parts readily available whenever needed?

Parts? Saw a PUJ up north sporting the complete front fascia of a LC200, headlights, grille, bumper.

No naman. Change oil and oil filter lang plus the usual maintenance checks per 5k km and 10k km interval. Probably anywhere between P10-12k/service. I also have my fuel filter replaced every 5k km to be sure. I use Motul CRDI FS oil by the way.

Hehe. PM mo ako here or sa 4x4ph as to when you're going there. Sabayan kita. Pakabit ko Man-a-Fre 3" drop brackets sa 80 series ko. Mababait yan sila boss GP, Kelly, and Charlie.

Ok pa naman FM ko still going strong. Yon ang pang araw araw namin. Hehe. Di ko pa napapakabit yung drop brackets. Sige schedule ko sa 25th. I'll call GP. Good yan na mag LC ka. PM kita sa mobile numbers ko. Coordinate tayo. Maayos kausap sila GP.

I'd bet a big chunk of the cost is with the oil as well. How many liters? 12L?

The LC200 sold well so parts stocking should be quite good in the years to come.

Yup mainly the engine oil. 9 liters is required. I also change the fuel filter each time the rig goes in for servicing.
