Hello and thank you for checking out my auction. Up for sale is my wife's 1997 Toyota Landcruiser.  She has owned this Collectors Edition Landcruiser since 2001.  It was an IBM owned car that was sold at the Manheim Auction when it had about 110K miles. This vehicle has been nothing short of amazing since then, and has never let us down.  It is full time four wheel drive, but also has the 4 way differential locks that allow it to go almost anywhere. This landcruiser has a clear title, and has never been wrecked. A deer did jump into the side of it a few years ago and knocked off the rear fender trim, but I re-attched it with gorilla glue. Not my best work, but its held. I also backed into a mailbox last month which pushed in a place on the soft rear bumper corner and put a scratch near the tailight  (see the pics). And while I am disclosing the bad, I will add that the power antenna doesn't go up and down anymore, it just makes a buzzing sound when you crank the vehicle. The driver's seat also has some tears, but the rest look good.  There is one small bubble of rust under the back rear window where the rear wiper mounts, but I think that is it.  It will also need rear tires soon. Okay, with that being said, I can say that the vehicle is in good condition, and it runs, drives, and stops just like it should.  My wife uses it for everything, and the cargo space inside never ceases to amaze me.  I can't tell you how many times I've said "there is no way that will fit" only to be told "I told you so" as my wife drives off with her new found treasures all packed inside.  Anyway, when it hit 300K, I told my wife I was afraid it might leave her stranded somewhere, so I bought her a newer Lexus 470 to replace it.  It's the same vehicle with just more bells and whistles. These trucks are just incredible. Anyway, that is my only reason for selling.  As far as I am concerned, you can get in it and drive it anywhere. I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have. I am listing it with no reserve, so bid to win!  Thanks for your interest and Good Luck!!

Please note: The autocheck history report that came up when I listed the Landcruiser says there was a wreck before it was sold at auction. This was before my time and also news to me. Needless to say it has not caused any issues whatsoever in the 12+ years of owernship. Sorry I can't provide any more information than that, but in the spirit of full disclosure I wanted to make sure to note this fact. Thanks.
