Here’s HOW MUCH I paid for my 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser…

[@marywilson7977]

I have a 97 Collectors Edition with Lockers. It's color is moon pearl. It is my dream car. I bought it used with 15,000 miles on it. I now have 219,000 miles on a rebuilt engine. I hope it lasts me forever! I cannot afford a new one! I love the tail gate, have hauled everything from kids, to sod, to kayaks, skis, building material etc. over the years. We take it to the mountains here in Colorado and it is a beast. She is not fast, but she can climb anything. It was fun to see the joy you expressed while making the video of your beautiful Landcruiser. But I agree with some other comments; keep the original wheels, they make the LC more authentic.

[@rogerdvorak6045]

We own a 2011 Land Cruiser with 200,000 miles on it and not a raddle in it when we cross railroad tracts BULIT TOUGH.

[@bdalpine]

Love it, I have a 2004 100 series. Wouldn't sell for 30K. Congratulations!

[@marimashburn7796]

I love the OEM wheels. The green carpet is a bit much but it wouldn’t be a deal breaker. Must have come out of the drier part of CA? High desert maybe? No rust at all on a vehicle that old is awesome! I think it’s worth the price.

[@24hrstolive27]

Worth every dollar my friend. That’s clean. And only going up in prices

[@SimplyCarReviews]

Worth it if he keeps it. But it will be sold within 2 or 3 months lol😂. Either way I love the 80 series.

[@Dano-MX5]

I had a 2004 Tundra Limited I bought new. The color was Jade Mica Pearl or something like that. It appears to be the same color as this LC. The 2nd owner is still diving it here in my home town. A local taxidermist. 300k+ miles.

[@krewjones]

Everyone gives you stick for vehicle flipping but this is a keeper and a solid price. Keep it!

[@jayabq11]

Great 80 series! I think you did well! I've had 2 FJ60's (I have one for sale on BAT) and 2 LC200's. I've always wanted a FJ80! 1997 is the year to have! Great job!

[@mclehed77]

Oh man that truck looks amazing It's so clean I wouldn't even change the rims, I would keep it stock n clean it up (engine bay, undercoat etc.)👍🏾

[@mikeyID]

Yea you have to pay to play Untamed. It’s worth the money 👍🏼

[@williamkelly1519]

Congrats! Great car...I have 3 Toyota's just bought a great 2007 FJ w/18,500 miles. Love old Toyota's.

[@torcho4400]

Very nice! It’s always nuts having to justify the prices for these but you did good!

[@colinjames2383]

Looking good! Take a look into dry ice cleaning on the under carriage. You could make it brand new. Obsessed garage has video on it.

[@johnwebb2232]

I personally think the price is right, she's in really nice shape and she'll last you for many years, if it was me, i'll take out all the dents maybe change the carpet and fix up what ever needs doing and keep it, she's a gem. But I still love my 2016 4runner trail with kdss.

[@stronglikemonkey]

Really clean rig! I love it! The 80 series will go up in value like we have already seen here lately. Looking for one myself, but for more of a trail rig.

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks man! Agreed. 🙌 Hope you’re able to swoop one up soon.

[@JohnJohnCrusher]

Lately? They've been going up in value for the last 15-20 years. Late to the party.

[@stronglikemonkey]

@JohnJohnCrusher Not late to the party. Been around the LC game for decades. I was talking about the exponential price jump in the last two - three years. But happy you got to get out your keyboard warrior stuff today. You win the internet this round my friend! Good on you!

[@lwclark]

I think you did really well. Great paint and no rust. Low mileage. K294 (triple locked) trucks are overrated in my opinion given the age of factory lockers and the fact that they were almost never actuated in 27 years. A new Eaton locker will be far more reliable. That antenna replacement job is a pain but not too bad. Those are aftermarket speakers and enclosures. Be sure to run some weed whacker string through the sunroof drains, gently.

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks man. Appreciate the tip of using weed wackier string. 💪

[@NigelNaughton]

Yikes! 😮😵‍💫😁 I got my Collector's Edition right before everything went crazy for about $5500. But mine is 3x locked too 😍. No rust as well but your paint is better.

[@marks3377]

Awesome truck Untamed. I think it’ll look great with the TRD wheels.

[@renv9231]

Such clean lines, I love it ! it’s your ride but I think original wheels.

[@MrDaddy-mc5ie]

Beautiful land cruiser but I would definitely replace the carpet. Takes away from the original feeling and just doesn’t match at all. Overall beautiful suv and the plastics are in great shape.

[@weldon9254]

Dude so well worth it. Excellent deal regardless what anyone says. i know all about these things and you have a gem

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks brother. I felt like it was too! Lots of opinions on these for sure.

[@billb513]

Not sure what the going rate is for these so hard for me to accurately give an opinion if you got a deal or not. I personally wouldn’t have paid that for it. It will be interesting in a month or so, how much you get for it after sinking more money into it. Good luck and enjoy your videos.

[@N1CO_251]

I love it. My favorite Land Cruiser. In South America, this model was given the nickname “Burbuja” which means “The Bubble”. Keep it, and don’t sell it. If you do, let me know.

[@skifishride438]

I think you killed it with this one

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks a ton brother 🙏🏼

[@cosmozh]

Great car, love the 80 LC

[@joeymartin2553]

I know you didn’t end up keeping either but I’m curious if someone was looking between a new tundra trd pro and a new raptor what would you prefer? I figured you would be good to ask since you had both

[@UntamedMotors]

Sorry for my late reply, Joey! I enjoyed both but the Raptor felt like it matched the price tag better. The Tundra felt a bit overpriced for what it was.

[@bcajacob157]

As long you’re happy with your purchase that’s all that matters…it’s a great truck! Got mine for $10K and I estimate that I would be spending to about another $10K to get it in real good shape which includes painting.

[@bogotstogoskiing]

Good paint is at least 10k by itself if you have a shop do it. Much cheaper if you do it yourself.

[@RonaldChapman-jg5xu]

Looks great! Enjoy!

[@solarforfuture]

no rust and door dings... first gen sequioa $3,500 never looked back.

[@jgcruisers]

Nice truck! A bit overpriced I think but as long as you like it who cares, I think the interior is great , execpt for the carpet. Paint looks great! One dealership around vegas. Has one right now 94, with 119k 2 owners, 3xlocked and as clean as they come, lifted, 33s, bumpers,winch,sliders,hi-jack,lotsbof mods, but want 32900.00. Crazy money, before they went crazy i got my 1st 1 for 1400.00 sold it and made a huge profit. Got a 97 with 168k 3xlocked for 6k . So I think i did ok. But yes needed some work. Good luck with yours!

[@JJ-rb3ss]

I got my 97 LC for almost same price and 175k miles. New paint

[@j2koolc922]

Smart buy as always,

[@ericcarson342]

There's 1994 on Auto Trader for 85k. Is this guy for real?! The ad says it has triple lock and it's rare. Some owners are looking for a reason NOT to sell.

[@_beanswick2054]

Now time to send it to TLC Jonathan Ward for a makeover lol !!!

[@chevroletss8158]

Damn !!!! I stole my 97 lx with 173,000 miles at my price. Beautiful rig my man

[@JohnJohnCrusher]

Lost the two-tone color seats of the collector's edition when they reupholstered it

[@UntamedMotors]

Yeah would have been cool if they matched it to OE but all good! Still love it.

[@shortythefrenchie]

How does it drive?

[@mujtaballa3105]

Sick ride!

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks brother! 🙌

[@aes_ka]

Dude keep the original wheels theyre much cooler

[@chrisdakins2010]

That thing is awesome!

[@UntamedMotors]

Thanks Chris! 🙏🏼

[@juanbuendia5352]

What is the tires size?

[@skifishride438]

Personally I think this thing is amazing

[@rthurrabayev6971]

Very nice car 👍

[@danielguevara5915]

Thing of beauty 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@4800BMO]

You got ripped off my man! Just kidding. Great rig.

[@nick-3388]

I wish the previous owner left it all original

[@UntamedMotors]

The carpet I agree. But the seats I love. =]

[@JohnJohnCrusher]

Whoa no lockers for that price?

[@UntamedMotors]

Most with lockers come with some additional “love”… best priced one I’ve found in this type of condition. Don’t take it from me, look around.

[@speedsterspeedy2146]

Back to the future-

[@24hrstolive27]

I would look into replacing that god awful carpet lol that green lol

[@andyleo8418]

Yes, replace that ugly bright green turf. Or dye it darker.

[@hajiahmed619]

Nice car classic let me buy from u 😂

[@TheSenorChavez]

If you're the kind that showers everyday go for the 100. If you think dirt on your shoes means you need new shoes go for the 100. If you haven't camped since 1982 go for the 100. If you can't grow a beard go for the 100. If you own a Tommy Bahama shirt go for the 100. If your arms don't fill out your polo go for the 100. If you prefer tea over beer go for the 100. If you wear gloves whilst driving your Miata go for the 100. If your food can't touch the other food go for the 100. If you get Starbucks giftcards go for the 100. If your golf handicap is less than 25 go for the 100. If you wanted to be a cowboy as a kid...the 80!

[@UntamedMotors]

Haha nice. Looks like I bought the wrong one though… 😬 😂

[@TheSenorChavez]

​@@UntamedMotors Well, now that you have it, start looking at new cowboy hats! :)

[@UntamedMotors]

@@TheSenorChavez haha I’m on it! 🤠

[@sultanniazi2394]

You got it for free

[@mattonthewater]

Yikes you got riiiiiped

[@JJ-rb3ss]

Not really, check bring a trailer auctions for 80s and are going around the same price for same miles and in same conditions

[@mattonthewater]

@@JJ-rb3ss can’t compare BaT to the normal market

[@AggiePhil]
