Title: Possible Land Cruiser purchase - advice please
Post by: alaric on June 03, 2007, 08:22:31

Hi Guys!

I'm looking to replace my aging Pajero with another 7 seat 4x4, largely because it's still UK registered, and I can't keep it in Greece indefinately.

I've seen a nice Land Cruiser that fits the bill, but I'm have trouble tracking down any detailed information about it.

It's a 2001 model, 7 Seats, 3400 Petrol. Probably originally registered in Greece, but may have been imported from elsewhere in the EU. It's not an Amazon, but I'm not sure what model it is.

Any ideas please? And where to find more detailed specs.

Are there any faults or recalls that I should look for on this age car?

Thanks Guys,

Alaric.

Thanks guys - I'll have a look at those links.

Further research means it looks like an LC90 - Prado/Colorado in the UK or Japan.

Definately a 3.4 - V6 I think.

I'm mainly after details like load and towing capacities.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Alaric.
