What's low miles for a ~40 year old rig that was intended to be driven (a lot)? I'd love one too.

Sold my '96 LX for $3400 with a head gasket on its way out around 2016 just before the prices skyrocketed. The new owner replaced the gasket, added a lift/tires and overlanding cosmetics, and sold it for $25k and 18 months later. Cool with me, I had no interest in rebuilding the engine, and honestly much prefer my current 3rd gen 4Runner. The 80 is a tank, the 3g4R is a sports car by comparison.

New 2024 GX is dope. Modern 80 vibe. I just need $80k.

Was just about to share. The thing looks great. Around here that will give the Defender buyers something to think about.

I'd get it over the Defender all day. You can't get spare parts for the Defender apparently. So if something breaks you're SOL. Curious if the 4 Runner gets a similar treatment stylewise.

I've posted about my brother in law's Defender 110 (2020 m/y) a few times here as it's been a curious experience from my view.
First the heated windshield, a very nice option in his part of the world, cracked. Couldn't get a new windshield until early 2022, which made for a very shitty winter for them.
Then recently, a rock cracked the headlight, he takes it in and turns out the whole headlight assembly has to be replaced. Which, once the part is available, is only $3,100.

My neighbor has a similar story re: availability/cost of parts with his, which is why I mentioned it. The platform hasn't been out long enough that folks like Atlantic British have 'em either. Add in that LR dealers by me are absolute pricks wrt dealer markups and no way am I touching one unless something changes.
Toyota/Lexus tends to use the same parts in multiple platforms and while it doesn't sound glamourous to have the same parts as a Tacoma in your Lexus, it sure helps on the availability side of things."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

I had a buddy with one of the last Saabs (one of those reskinned trailblazers post bankruptcy) made, and he had to replace a headlight for like 2 grand, but this takes the cake. At least with the Saab the company was tits up so you kind of could understand the expense.

Not sure I like the design, however the grille has not completely taken over the front end, which is a nice change for Lexus. $80k will be in the same discussion as the Grenadier, which I think could be a market leader if their production and supply chain meets expectations.

You’re assuming defender buyers “think”….

Even as a Toyota fanboi, I think they're going way too robocop with the new trucks.

I used to have one of those before my buddy totaled it. . The 9-7X. It was a bit of a lemon but anytime I took it to the shop and told the guy it takes GM parts they were happy and repairs were cheap. The headlights are probably one of the only Saab parts, that and the center console ignition. Surprisingly nice interior but the engine was shit.
