that is important, don't buy a high end unit for off road use. you can buy Delica with "mods by mother nature" for a lot less. as i mentioned before my 80 lb hairball keeps me out of the highend market, it just does not make sense to spend the extra just to watch it depreciate over night. ...

couple of points i would like to make: what made Land Cruisers so valuable was not only their reliability but their uniquness and rarity. Land Cruisers flooded the market when this craze started. The LJ series killed tainted the reputation of the Land Cruiser with the heads dying on a frequent basis...

Value of Delicas shop around, you can find deals but they are getting rarer and rarer in this condition. the auction prices have sky rocketed in the last few months with everyone worried about the 15-year importation change.
