Best deal on a 200 series
- Thread starter xpanda
- Start date
Hate to say but toyota are really starting to price themselves out of the market. I love them but I think the dream of owning another will not be coming my way anytime soon. I miss my 80series and Hilux badly but they need to start being a bit more realistic. Just my thoughts and off topic. Jealousy is a curse I guess! Lol.
Umm, just my 2 cents worth. I wouldn't touch a 200 at all. Especially if water is involved. The alternator dies when it gets wet. And they have heart failure when the voltage gets low. My 80 is giving me a ton of grief just now, but I'll stick with it.
Disco 4 HSE.....$96K no options.....
just saying.....
I hear you dingo, disco 4 HSE is a contender & a good rig but 3 main issues - 19 inch wheels ( with very little choice on alternate rubber) , cant fit an aux fuel tank without relocating the spare, and the ride is not as good as a 200
Well that's a new one. Toyotas for before the 200 have been putting there alternator down low, it's not water that kills them but mud. And low voltage? Any car with a computer doesn't like low voltage, how many cars don't have computers today?
Lcool is your best bet, but I recall seeing $107k mentioned before. They are a big jump over the next model but they have a few nice features too
Hey Moto your right, last year was the 200's most successful in Australia. Yes they are expensive but like the Disco they are a lot of vehicle for the money.
Lcool forum, has a dedicated thread in the 200 section . You need to register and get approval. But it's a great source for landcruiser info.
19" wheels...true. But savings over the LC will allow the 18" Compmotive rims opening up lots of options. Also a very strong rim used for Euro rally work.
Aux tanks/spare....true, and did both....
Ride comfort.....won't say you're wrong since it is subjective to the person, but many say the other way. Although that might not be to the Sahara level but VX/Altitude. I certainly found the LR much better myself

Only things is there won't be much saving after you decide to have an option on the Disco.
The LC ride is the same for the GX, GXL and Altitude.
The VX and Sahara are diff to above due to KDSS but Sahara and VX same
