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

[vinj]

Actually, 9 Litres ain't bad... The LC80 requires around 10 (1HD-T)

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.

Thanks sir! I guess it is quite expensive nga considering regular PM lang more or less P10-12k na. Reason I asked is that malaki kasi price difference ng local LC150 (lalo na with LC200) with the local 2013 Pajero (where the regular PM for the Pajero maybe cost lesser pa siguro).

Well if one could bear owning a LC, one should likewise prepare to bear its PM costs.

Thanks again!

AFAIK, the MS and SF PMS costs also hit over 10K if i recall correctly.

if you can afford an LC. i think PMS would not bother you anymore.. well over here it really is very expensive to buy an LC, but in other countries like africa.. they are pretty much affordable.. closer to home.. in Papau New Guinea, the LC70 pickup or ute is the jeepney over there.. i dont think you could drive for less than 5 minutes and not see one. in those countries they use the LC for what it was made for.. and you need an LC to get through the roads in the first place.

my dad own an LC 80 in PNG.. and it basically goes anywhere.. naka ARB air locker eh.. hehe..

It's a Toyota

After the warranty period, the maintenance costs pretty much lessen. I just have the neighborhood mechanic change the oil and doc g does the repairs on my 94 cruiser.

Your statement is very correct, if you can afford an LC, it means you can afford its maintenance cost.

Same with owning other luxury vehicles that are guzzlers.

The rule i guess is not always the same. There are car models kasi that are not that expensive to buy, but PM costs and parts availability will kill you (even luma na). There are others that are not that expensive but yet, PM costs are justified and parts can be readily available (even with your suking tindahan). But there really are ones that are expensive to buy, and so as their PM costs with parts availability confined to selected stores.

I guess LC has set a niche in the SUV category, where owners are proud to have one.

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.

oist paj4x4; tuloy ba kayo sat? been to Dr.G a week ago(muntik pa kami magkita Otep) para sched ang replacement ng electronic locking hub ko to manual hub(i need a spacer) and maybe since nandun na replace yung mga oil seal ng differential. i might drop by also sa 25.

for the past months, i came across a couple of LCs that were for sale. from 40 series to 80 series, sobrang taas ng price. what is so special about the Land Cruiser?

saw this LC just last saturday. I talked to the driver, according to him, the owner would consider selling it at 1M daw. to think that galing subic pa ito. I know near mint condition pa ito. but still, with that price, you have a lot of options na na brand new.

Landcruisers are a living proof of toughness, resilience, dependability, name it. The older LC even run in maintenance-free timing gears. While the Land Rovers are also reputed, still it has less to offer than Toyota Landcruisers, specifically in the powerplant department and comfort, except perhaps, when it comes to the Range Rover. But still, when it comes to toughness, dependability and durability, adaptability, the Landcruisers are way at it compared to the problematic Range Rovers especially when both are under extreme abuse. A lot of UK nationals, Aussies, and Kiwis i know cringe on the issue of reliability when it comes to the Range Rovers. They said, they'd be better off with the Land Rover-version if that's the case and better yet, just go for the Landcruisers problem solved they say.

Pinaka-gusto ko mga LC70 series na may "hood scoop" where the engine mated to it is the modern-day 4.5-litre V8-configured 1VD-FTV engine with single turbocharger. The engine is dubbed as 4.5 D-4D. Next best engine after the 4.5-litre D-4D commonrail is the 4.2-litre straight-6 cylinder 1HD-FTE turbodiesel EFi engine.

Love the Landcruisers!

still the best is the 1HD/!HZ engine. 1VD-FTV have so many issues especially sa middle east. even an LC guru in 1h8mud calls the 1VD a Siamese twin 2C. :D
