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

[d_mac]

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

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.

*otep.. Who is doc g? LC specialists? where is his shop?
