Thread: Anyone know their way around 200 Series Landcruises?

I am looking to update my 2004 100 Series VX Ltd Landcruiser 180K. Mechanically it is sound but starting to show its age cosmetically. I am looking at 200 Series. There seems to be 2 price brackets.

2008-9 VX LTD 250-300K $55K

2012-13 VX LTD 125-150K $80K

What would you do given the problems with the earlier engines and oil consumption? Is it worth spending the extra for lower Kms and newer everything else.

Before some of you say buy a Ranger been there done that when I was on the tools, they are utes not SUVs. Ride and comfort levels just don't compare.

Thanks for your thoughts
