CarFax, oh please, oh please, oh please?
 

It seems a bit sacrilegious to request a CarFax for a Toyota on a Subaru forum. I feel like I can find my way around a Subie just fine, but I'm kinda lost when it comes to Yotas.

Anybody want to be my personal temporary hero?

Thanks!

Interesting history. English is not the seller's first language, so this is a lot like buying something at auction.

Kinda makes me wonder what sort of "rear impact with another motor vehicle" that was. The only thing I could detect was a cosmetic repair to the driver's D-pillar. Everything else looked solid. The damage to the pillar is about four or five feet off the ground - not exactly bumper height. It was a minor dent and nicely repaired.

Second owner drove it two thousand miles across the country and sold it a year later. Third (and current) owner keeps it for six years. That's a lot longer than "a couple of years" as was implied to me.

Good information to have. Again, thank you.

I like Landcruisers of that body style. Have you already made the purchase?

I hand the check over tomorrow. Hello factory e-lockers!

Natually, I really dig them too. Amazing vehicles. Built like tanks with crazy-good reliability. Off road ability is second only to a Jeep Rubicon, but without all the other shortcomings. Okay, maybe a Glendawagon is comparable, but versions with horsepower and differential locks are still a bit spendy.

They started making the FZJ-80 in1989 and they still made them until 2008 in Venezuela. Began life as a military vehicle and in parts of the world it's still used that way today.

If I like this one enough, I may have to get a second one for trashing on the trails...
