Toyota Land Cruiser (03-09) - Review

Review by Parkers on
It may be the smaller brother of the Land Cruiser Amazon, but the Land Cruiser is still a whopper in its own right if you pick the five-door model. If you need something rugged to look the part outside the school gates then we'd suggest you buy a Volvo XC-90 or Lexus RX300 as they're better to drive on the road, (although school-runners will appreciate the fact that a Land Cruiser has eight seats). What it lacks in terms of on-road agility, it makes up for in go-anywhere talent, so if you don't get it dirty you'll never know just how good it can be.

Buying used

Extreme toughness makes this a good used buy if you can find one - it's not the sort of thing that gets traded in too often, but will provide a good saving if you can get a private sale. Most will remain in the dealer network and this keeps prices high.

Selling

The big Toyota has a good reputation and will sell easily, especially as many buyers will be keen to save on the new price and its durability makes it a good bet as a used buy.
