    Even at $32k USD, that's still too strong. I'll save my pennies for a Unimog of around the same vintage.

    The ironic thing is that you clearly have no brains if you pay this much for such a car. If you have no brains, then you clearly don't need it - the zombies won't want you.

    It's like being the spamelope among cheetahs - you're safe, but you don't feel safe.

    If this is your ultimate plan, get a 'Mog, and be done with it.



    You'd be shocked what is in Alaska and southern Utah, on the unpaved roads, having been shipped from Europe...makes this look like a pickup with a 'camper' shell.

    For off-road camping I think I'd rather have the factory option K-5 Blazer Chalet. I actually saw one of these on the road the other day. Toyotas are cool and pretty reliable, but you just can't beat the parts availability of a SBC and 73-87 GM trucks. A SBC will run poorly longer than most engines will run.

    @P161911 now with M POWER!: Hell, I'd settle for a regular Blazer or K with a camper shell. Not that preserving rare vehicles is much of a priority when there's zombies.

    Crackpipe fer shizzle.



    The crack about Canucks like me having "better health care" is a hoot as well. People die on waiting lists here daily. On I'm 2 lists myself, one is almost 5 years.



    When I lived in Mass in 2000 the healthcare was vastly better than in Canada. Why do you think thousands of Canucks have to go to US for care every year, while almost no Americans come here?



    It's like the people who claim Cuba is a paradise. Well, go live there! Don't let the hundreds of people risking their lives on leaky rafts to escape "paradise" dissuade you.



    Plus, our zombies are all on generous welfare packages so they don't even need brains to live on. That vehicle is useless here!

    SHITFUCK, not only couldn't I comment earlier, now it eats my posts when I click outside the box...



    Anyway.



    Plenty of good info, but not quite enough. After it "sat in a warehouse for many years", were the dry-rotted hoses replaced? The tires? Sure, it may run and drive well, but perhaps not for long.



    They say "no rust". How hard did they look? They had a look underneath, in the wheel wells, etc., I hope, for that price.



    If what they say is true, and this is a perfect '45, this is a Nice Price indeed. I want to believe.

    Good starting point for zombieocalypse mobile living quarters...until you can commandeer something larger/less zombie-friendly.

    @can't find no job, that's why I ain't go no...: I love me a full size van. I've had one around for the last 20 years or so. It's incredible how many high mileage vans are out there. I even met someone that had over 300K on a freakin' Trans Van. Never know when I might have to live in one. Down by the river...

    Maybe the seller thinks he's sitting on a Land ROVER, not a LandCRUISER. This is a Toyota, dude, it never was worth 35G and never will be. Crack pipe.

    @mdensch: If it's not rusty and mechanically sorted, it's probably worth $25k. It's also several orders of magnitude more reliable than any Rover product.

    @TV's Paul Y.: I'm not suggesting that Land Rovers are actually worth this kind of money, but it's true that there are people out there who will pay a price like this for the privilege of owning a British aluminum can.

    @TV's Paul Y.: No doubt about that. The Earth Roamer XV-JP, a similar production vehicle based on the Wrangler, will run you about $110K. And it's based on a Chrysler product, so you might be better off with the 83k mi Diesel Toyota.
