1992 Toyota Landcruiser DX review from Australia and New Zealand
"Don't pay 50,000 for a new one, get an 80 series. I guarantee it will do the same job for half the $"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spare wheel becomes hard to get out from underneath the car eventually.
Car has been recalled to have the brakes redone by Toyota.
First flat battery at 120,000km/h (that's the original!)
Back end bottomed out, ripped the back left hand plastic type bumper and mudguards off. Still like that at the moment, no need to replace them.
At 100000km/h a new exhaust line was required due to corrosion and 4x4ing.
General comments?
Never misses a beat.
Starts first time every time.
Cheap to run.
Goes everywhere.
No leaks, breaks etc.
