Description of 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser |
|
Hello, let me start by saying that I realize how stressful it can be to buy anything sight un-seen. I don't think a paragraph & 1 or 2 pictures is enough to accurately describe an item of any kind. Let alone a motor vehicle. I understand that you may be in a different state or even a different country & therefore are unable to come view this RARELand Cruiserin person. I want you to know everything I know about anything I offer for sale. For that reason, my postings tend to be a little on the long side. I also post pictures detailing every part of the vehicle. This Cruiser is fresh out of a 3 year storage. I did no clean-up at all. This Cruiser is wearing it's 100% original paint & retains it's 100% original interior. I'm certain both will clean-up nicely.Please take the time to read the item description & view the pictures. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. All will be answered promptly. I have sold vehicles to buyers all over the world.All members who have bought from me have been extremely pleased with my performance & with the items they have purchased from me, I'm sure you will be as well.
I have personallyserviced cruiserswith well over 500,000 miles that were still going strong without ever having had any major repairs. This engine fires right up. NO SMOKE. NO TICKS. NO MISS. NO CHECK ENGINE or other warning lights. No blow-by. I did notice a couple of fluid drips after being on the road for the first time in three years.The A440F automatic transmissions in these Cruisers are as tough as everything else. This one shifts smooth but firm, just as it should. The transfer case stick in the floor shifts like new. Feels like it's never been used at all! The (Hi-4), shift on the fly, button on the dash works just as it should. The factory manual locking hubs engage & disengage freely. Both the front & rear differentials are nice & quiet. Everything shifts & operates just as it should. I had both front brake calipers replaced & the rear drum brakes serviced when I purchased the vehicle three years ago. After the long storage, they still stop well. The steering & suspension feel smooth. There is a small amount of play but much better than what you'd expect from a four-wheel drive vehicle of this year & mileage.Mechanically this entire vehicle seems to be in excellentcondition. Body & Frame-This vehicle has lived right here in the metro Atlanta area since driving off the showroom floor. So there is absolutely no rust or corrosion on anything anywhere..... other than one tiny spot of rust through on the bottom corner of the right rear wheel opening. I can only assume a small amount of dirt or road grime built up there & held moisture over a period of time. The spot is smaller than my index finger & is ONLY in the outer sheet metal or "skin". It was there when I purchased the Cruiser & has not grown in size in the three years I've owned it. I did not spray any paint or primer or try to hide it in any way. I want you to know exactly what you are getting. There is noinvolvementwith any of the structural metal behind the little spot & this is the ONLY spot on the entire Cruiser. I have crawled under, over & through every single inch of this beautiful FJ. I have NEVER seen a nicer body on an unrestored FJ62, ever! All the door jams are perfect. All the wheel wells are perfect. Both the inner & outer rockers are perfect. The rear hatch & tailgate are perfect! SUPER RARE! EVERY PART OF THIS BODY other than that one little spot I mentioned is rust free & very nice! The frame is completely rust free. The floorpans are rust free. This truckhas never been exposed to salt. Noicyroads. No ocean spray. NO SALT.The under side of the vehicle isclean &everything is tight & free from corrosion. I've often thought the 60's & 62's came from Japan pre-rusted. It is rare to find a rust free Cruiser but this is one! Every body panel is as straight as a string. I don't see a single door ding! There are a few scratches & imperfections in the paint but far above average for a vehicle of this year & mileage. I see no evidence of this Toyota having ever been in an accident. All the body panels are factory original. As you can see, the all original, factory paint, still has a deep luster & shines very well! Interior-This Landcruiser still has that "FJ60/62 smell". If you've ever owned a nice one, you know what I'm talking about. It must be the materials Toyota used. In my experience, only these models have it. It smells like "quality". The seats are all in great shape. Their tracks &mechanisms all operate as new. There is no breakdown of the padding or support springs/wires. The factory coverings are in above average shape but not perfect. There is some "age staining". I have never had the vehicle detailed or tried to clean the interior in any way. It is in a very nice, original, well kept condition.The door panels & side / cargo paneling are all extremely nice, showing very minimal if any wear. The headliner is perfect & does not sage. The dash padding does show very minimal cracking right in the center but nice overall. The carpet is very nice & shows only minor wear if any. The are no odors. Options-It would take me an hour to list of the options found on this Flagship Toyota. As you can imagine, this thing had every optionavailable in 1989.Everything works! (the power antennamast for the radio will need to be replaced as the nylon teeth have deteriorated, the electrical portion of the left rear power window switch is missing, the plastic outer switch is present, the window motor is present & operational using the driver door master switch) The aftermarket roofrack pictured is included but is not a factory option. No holes ormodificationswere made to the body when installing this rack. It simply clips onto the rain gutters. All of the weather-stripping is present & supple. All of the brightwork is in above average original condition. However, the front bumper is bend slightly. Tires & Wheels-This FJ still retains it's factory steel wheels. They were originally chrome but somewhere along the way were painted black. All (5) tires are matching Goodyears. All still are wearing evenly & have 80-90% tread remaining. However, there is visible dry rot on the four mounted tires. If you are planning to drive it home, I will be happy to take it to a local tire store so that they can install a new set of tires for you, prior to you flying in. I will not charge to take the vehicle to the tire shop but you will be responsible for purchasing the tires & related charges. I would recommend trailering the vehicle home or having it shipped, simply due to the long storage & age of the tires. It would be much better to go through this Cruiser & hit the road with confidence. But that is your call. The truck is fully operational just as it sits. Title-I have a clean, clear, fully transferable GA title on this vehicle. This is my personal vehicle so there will be no taxes charged here.I DO NOT charge a doc fee or any other fees like most sellers on eBay do.

I realize everyone has to start somewhere & welcome your business but I must verify that you are a serious buyer if you have little or no buying history.I have encountered a couple of crooks/ scammers here on eBay who have cost me both time & money. This will no longer be tolerated. So if you are not a SERIOUS buyer, PLEASE MOVE ON. All members with a genuine interest in this vehicle are more than welcome to ask questions. All will be answered promptly. If you look at my feedback comments you will see that all of the REAL buyers have been very happy after dealing with me.

However, I have assisted buyers & their shippers in the pickup of several vehicles over the years. I have sold to buyers all over the US, as well as international buyers. I can recommend several shippers who have performed well for customers in the past but you will have to make your own arrangements with them. I will work with you & your shipper so that they can get thisSUVto you as fast & cost effectively as possible.
