Cruiser snowy series should i buy?

Sound alright to me.

I have a mate with a 2000 model RV (so no GXL extras) with raised supsension, aftermarket turbo, alloy bull bar, towbar, snorkel, 12 months rego and 90K for sale.

He has been offered 40K by the local Toyota dealer on a new GXL turbo auto, so 35k seems pretty good to me, considering that this one you are going to look at is a year olderand has more k's.

Good luck with it.

Really high milage for a 4 year old car. I would be lucky to do that milage in 10 years.

Ruffy sound reasonable. My only concern would by who fitted the turbo and how much boost etc has been running through it. As far as the km's travelled and the age I have never been overly worried about a vehicle that has obviously done some regular long trips. Wait till you see it, might be that the trps have all been through the bush. If it all looks fairly straight and your happy the km's could be a barganing point for you. Get the NRMA to check it as you said.

Good luck, hope it's what you are looking for.

Cheers

&model=LANDCRUISER&location=&lowPrice=&highPrice=&lowYear=1999
&highYear=&body=&keywords=&keyWordMode=&go.x=26&go.y=9 There are all the Landcruisers. Nothing wrong with a 4 year old car with 160 k on the clock - any less and you'd wonder why they had it up on blocks.Bob

Bob,

I agree i do between 40 to 50 thousand km's a year in my work vehicle,99% being country kms, km's should not be a problem provided maintanance has been done as per book.

Go for it, this sounds like a good truck, the things that usually go at 200kms are front c/v joints worn/oil leaking from swivel housings.
Other than that, this would be a hard vehicle to come buy (haha) with diesel autos being non existant in earlier cruisers all but the rv 105 for a while there, and now if u want an auto, it is petrol or t/d independant front.
