B/Inlaw has seached the continent for a good 100s diesel .with the later diesel .....I was Totally P....off when our local dealer offered one for forty grand!!.2002 model, over 200,000ks, and not all that
well looked after...Just to rub me up the wrong way, the thing had very poor oil pressure,I mean the guage dropping right back to nothing on warm idle, and not moving very far with revs up...Sales man reckoned it was normal ........ .Dealers PFFFFT!
Can't believe how some off the later models are holding up in value!
Why didn't Nissan put a Auto in their 4.2l Patrol,..Must of lost that many sales
and would have made the second hand market a bit more competitive, Toyotas landcruisers diesels with auto trans, in good nick, are definetley sought after vehicles.
Cheers Axle

Like you I'm after a second hand LandCruiser, a turbo diesel a bit younger than 2002 and as you say, very scarce. Salesman at a big Toyota dealer near me said it was due to supply and demand, the Tsunami crippled production in Japan and people are just not trading them in as they can't get a new one without a long wait.
Does that sound right or just another salesmans story ?

Its Hard to say mate, The supply and demand part is right, but i think toyos pricing for the 200s has a lot to do with it .

You're right about the pricing Axle.
I can remember just before the 200 came out that second hand 100s were going for a song, low
miles, great condition.
Then the 200 came out and even though I own one I am happy to admit that I used to think the 100 was ugly, until the 200 came out. Although it is growing on me.
The pricing of the 200 saw the asking price of second hand 100s go skywards, and they've stayed that way.
Good for all owners, not so good for buyers.

And late Prado diesels aren't much better Axle. 2010 in
Sydney for $60k (Private sale) and you can get a new one for $64k if you
shop around. Been looking for a while and the best I have seen over here in the east is $55k. Hard to swallow. cheers,Bob.

Axle! Gday...
The auto 4.2TDi was available in other countries but i dont know how good they were.. The 4.2 is really gutless in factory form and i reckon they would be thirsty, the only thing they have going for them is reliability!! Michael

I placed an add on the landcruisers owners
forum and had good responses from people who were willing to sell. I ended up buying one locally luckily. I have been offered $13000 more than i paid for it but still wont sell.

That's a bit harsh on the old toyo. Recent desert trip (around 1000ks remote) the Nissan td 4.2 took an extra 30 liters to fill and has no where near the torque of the troopy. I will stick with the 1HDFTE, far better for remote travel. If I want comfort I just use the TD Prado but still prefer the Troopy overall. Just my take on things!

was directed at my post, it was tongue ion cheek. I have a 100 Series HDFTE and wouldn't part with it no matter what. Prior to that I had a 80 Series 1991 for 19 years and almost had a coronary when I parted with the old girl.

with oil pressure and injector faults of the 200 series l/c, many of our major mining co's bought a lot of the 100 series to cover the shortfall , untill reliabilty of the new V8 became more viable. they will become more available , not unlike the 80 series , people held onto to them untill a new more reliable vehicle came to the market

G'day Stuart,
Mate, the 80 is still a sort after 4wd.
Just look at the prices they command.
Still amazed at the amount of people who have regretted selling their 80.
Don't think I'll sell mine soon.

What?
I dont think so
100s have always been rare in minesites with just a few as boss vehicles. 105s were common and were replaced by the 70 series wagon.
There are a few 200 series but just big boss vehicles same as the 100
Troops and utrecht are still king out in the sites far outnumbering 4 doors by huge margins

yes the old patrol 4.2 Na diesels are gutless and thirsty but try killing one,my 2000 ute is towing 2.4 tonvan ,slow but reliable ,throw a turbo on them is a different story , would love a 100 series turbo but way too expensive , the injecter problems with common rail systems is another issue , I'm going to stick with the mechanical patrol untill these injecter problems are sorted , also why do you need a auto ... ?

I would of thought a TD 100 series with 200000 on the clock @ $40000 was cheap.
I've got an very well setup 80 series with a 1hdft motor (auto) & id be asking 30-35000 if i was thinking of selling.
