Many a giraffe has had its day on the Serengeti interrupted by the sight of a Toyota Land Cruiser bounding across Africa's plains. For more than 40 years, the Land Cruiser has been one of the world's definitive, toughterrain, wildandwoolly vehiclesa classic sport utility wagon designed for landscape that's usually offlimits to all but the hoovesandhides set. Its colorful character helps explain why the Land Cruiser is so revered. Only about 10,000 vehicles each year make it to the United States, and they're swallowed up as if they were rare coins, which you might want to have a few of if you're planning on buying this bruteits base MSRP is a whopping $34,268. A logical question emerges: Why would there be such devotion to a vehicle so costly, especially considering the typical U.S. driver is hardly faced with junglelike conditions? The answer is that few vehicles in the world have built such a reputation for outright muscle and maneuverability. And you don't have to be on safari to appreciate the value there. A Midwest driver will find the Land Cruiser worthwhile on a winter weekend at the lake. The driver in Tennessee or Colorado will say thanks on a slippery mountain slope when this vehicle's front and rear locking differentials take the shivers out of a steep, snowy situation. Even the suburban commuter can enjoy the Land Cruiser's blend of brashness and charm. Although at 12 mpg in the city and with an option package that can take the Land Cruiser past the $40,000 mark, this clearly is a sport utility wagon for the wellheeled. It's also for those who like lots of horses under the hood. A 4.5liter, inline sixcylinder engine, with dual overhead cams, 24 valves and electronic fuel injection, packs 212 hp at 4,600 rpms. Add to that the locking differentials (for tough, slowroad situations), the optional antilock brakes (ABS) with rear disc brakes instead of drums and the standard fourspeed electronically controlled transmission with overdrive, and this is a worldclass road wrestler that also brings design, spaciousness and interior pluses to the overall picture.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser for less money than when it was new. If the 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
