When I was looking for my first 4WD I knew I wanted something reliable amazing off-road, upon my searching everyone seemed to really like the Toyota land cruiser, it checked both of those boxes ULTRA reliable and AMAZING off-road

Every time I would search for them I could not seem to find one in my budget. Oh and not to mention they all had a ton of miles, 250k+ and I kept thinking, these people are insane why would they ask so much for a vehicle that is almost 30 years old?

But sure enough the next week the post was gone and the land cruiser was sold.

So in this video I'm going to go over 3 key factors that are causing the value of land cruisers to go up.

Im also going to talk about a land cruiser that recently sold for 136k Dollars

Im going to tell you how I was able to get a land cruiser for cheap and how you can do it too

The reason these Land Cruisers are so expensive are due to 3 things.

1. World Wide Reputation.

The Land Cruiser is the pinnacle of the off road and has dominated the off road market.

Toyota Over-engineered the land cruiser and they built it to last many many decades with just basic maint.

It's reputation spans across the world Africa, Australia, Asia, South America.

80 Series
The Engines, Designed to be rebuilt up to 3x

The Axles, Super durable and amazing, fit 33s without a lift

The Off Road Capability, full time 4wd with center locking diff

Because of this people rarely sell their land cruisers and they keep them for many many years. If they ever do get rid of them they just buy another land cruiser.


2. The classic design and timeless look of the land cruiser, beautiful vehicle with great looks that has just improved over time.

The land cruiser looks great from the 40 series to the 60 series

By doing this it brings up the value.


3.
The law of Supply and Demand says that:
If demand increases for a product and supply remains unchanged, a shortage occurs, leading to a higher price.

That is why we saw this land cruiser that is 27 years old sell for 136,000 Dollars at auction.

For that amount of money you could have bought a 2021 Land Cruiser and a 4Runner and still had 15k left over for Mods.

Supply and Demand:

Everyone loves the Land Cruiser, and once you get your hands on you rarely let it go, everyone that I know who used to own one but sold it always talks bout how they regret selling theirs.

People love land cruisers because they are super reliable and very comfortable.

Oh and not to mention you can take these things anywhere off-road.

Recap:
Land Cruisers are expensive because of their reputation that they have built for decades.

Classic look and design makes them even more desirable

Lastly Supply and Demand.

How to get one for cheap, find one that needs some work and be willing to do it yourself.
