1997 Land Cruiser Wagon in white with a tan leather interior. Nicknamed "Watson". The Kelly Blue Book on this car appears to be almost 9, 000. It has very low mileage at 113, 321 miles!!! It drives beautifully and looks fantastic! Every time I take it to be serviced or detailed auto workers ask if I want to sell it. It has never been in any kind of accident of any sort. We have taken good care of it, getting it serviced regularly at Torrance Toyota and saved all service records. We saved the original window sticker and have the original bill of sale. We have owned it for the past 16 years and bought it from a dealer in Northridge, California when there was only about 14, 000 miles on it. When we took it for its last service, Torrance Toyota recommended getting 2, 000 worth of work done which I listed above. As much as we love this car-- and we do-- we decided to sell it instead. The main repair needed is the Axle Seal. The dealership service center said both outer axle pivot seals are leaking diff oil and they recommended front axle overhaul. We didn't get a second opinion on this. Here is the information from the window sticker, which I saved: Mechanical and performance: 4.5 DOHC Engine w/24 Valves 4-speed ECT Automatic overdrive transmission Full time four wheel drive Viscous Coupling Center Differential Front and RR Coil Spring Suspension Front and Rear Stabilizer Bars Power Assisted Recirculating Ball Steering 2nd Gear Start Switch 4-Wheel Ventilated Disc Brakes P275/70R16 Radial Tires (5) Towing PKG w/Trans Oil Cooler Safety: Driver/Passenger Airbag (SRS) 4-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System Side-Door Impact Beams Center High-Mount Stoplight Exterior: Color-Keyed Dual Outside Mirrors and Door Handles Tinted Glass Rear Window Defogger Front and rear Mudguards Fender Flares 16x8JJ Silver Styled Wheels Comfort and Convenience: Leather Seats Full pile-cut carpeting CFS-Free Air conditioning premium ETR Cassette w/9 Speakers and power antenna Height adjustable front shoulder belt anchors FR and RR intermittent Wipers Front and Rear Heaters, Cruise Control with Digital Clock Tilt Steering Power Windows/Doors Locks/Mirrors Auto-Off Headlamps The window sticker said it gets 13 miles to the gallon in the city and 15 on the highway. We paid 42, 972.25 for this car on August 5, 1998 and have that contract. The odometer reading at the dealership was 14, 177 and they said it was new.
