The vehicle: Late 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser 100 series, 4.2TD Auto (VX edition)
Km: 235 000km
Condition: Excellent - I have spared no expense at making sure this is the most reliable cruiser possible- all work done at Toyo Service Center (Krugersdorp - South Africa) - Ralph is famous in South Africa for his workmanship and excellent attention to detail, he only works on land cruisers.
Price: £19 000 (negotiable)
Recent preventative maintenance: new water pump - cooling hoses, cambelt replacement (with associated bearings) new radiator, all other components checked and advised not to replace as they are in good condition. 10k km ago I had all fluids changed, all bearings, joints, moving parts greased.
Minor services happen every 7-8k km (Toyota recommend every 10k km for his vehicle).

A lot of heart and soul have been poured into this vehicle and I will be sad to see it go. A change in work circumstances means I will no longer be able to use it enough to make it worthwhile, and letting it sit won't do it any good. I'll be very sad to see it go. (It's name is Frank the Tank)
A very reliable cruiser that I have known all of its life (I bought it for my uncle who looked after it, and I knew the family he bought it from - who bought it from new and always looked after it.
Car is registered in my name In Botswana, and this can easily be changed over to a non resident name (I am not a resident of Botswana)
The bad: it has a small ding in the front right fender - I was quoted R4000 from a reputable panel beater (+- £230) to repair it, but It doesn't bother me and I had far more pressing toys to buy for the cruiser .
