1994 Toyota Land Cruiser Diff Locks Only 73k Miles! 3rd Row, Gray Leather Fzj80 on 2040-cars

HISTORY: I've only owned this vehicle for a month or so.  I purchased it from a gentleman in San Jose, CA who had recently inherited it from the passing of his brother.  He stated his brother had owned it since it was "almost new".  He also stated this was only one of seven cars he had just inherited from his brother inluding a bunch of high end sports cars and that when they were not being driven they were garaged in what he said was a huge 10+ car garage, (hence the low mileage, and condition). Clean title and pink slip is in my name and in hand.  It looks as though I am the 4th owner. The third owner was the guy I bought it from and he had it since 10/17/13.  His brother, 2nd owner, had it since 4/2/97 with 47k miles. 

EXTERIOR: Color is Dark Emerald Pearl Green.  Appears to be the original paint with no signs of clear coat fading.  There are a handful of tiny paint touch up spots on different areas of the vehicle apparently from the previous owner.  Has factory roof rack, factory running boards, factory mud flaps, tow package with wiring harness.  See link to pictures for all details of any imperfections that caught my eye.

INTERIOR:  Gray interior is very clean. There is no evidence of tabacco / smoking use. Leather Seats are in great condition including the 3rd row seats, with power seats working in all directions.  Driver seat has the most wear but no rips or tears, (see picture link).  Carpet is very clean throughout with factory floor mats for front, middle, 3rd row, (had never seen the narrow 3rd row floor mat before) and rear cargo mat.  Door panels and headliner are very clean.  All interior and dash lights work as they should, (even the often burned out "D" light still illuminates on the dash!). Sunroof tilts and opens/closes as intended.  I poured water down all four sunroof drains and they all flowed to the grounds smoothly. All power
locks, mirrors and windows work properly.  All buttons and options work as they should.  A/C, (R134), blows ice cold, and heater works great, including rear heater and controls.  Factory manual included.  Two sets of factory keys with viper alarm included, but alarm is currently not working.  Wiring appears to be hooked up but main fuse is pulled.  I attempted to put a fuse in it which made the alarm sound. Fuse is currently pulled.  It is also equiped with the factory TVSS (Toyota Vehicle Security System) control box is still under driver seat. 

SUSPENSION/RUNNING GEAR/TIRES: It appears to have the factory coil springs with very clean, (or perhaps newer), Bilstiens in all corners. The 4.5L inline 6 runs smooth, and A442F transmission shifts smoothly.  Power steering works well with no issues.  Coolant is red in color, consistant with factory Toyota coolant.  Engine oil is full, with no signs of water/coolant mixing.  Brake, Auto Transmission, transfer case, front/rear axle fluids are all properly full with no signs of over use, neglect or metal filings.  No apparent coolant, oil or gear fluid leaks.  Front axle knuckles look clean and free of leaks.  No engine codes or check engine lights.  Air filter is the factory Toyota washable type.  Tires are Toyo Open Country 275/70R16 and look practically new, with lots of tread, (see pictures) with no cupping or uneven wear marks.  Factory spare has  Michelin 275/70R16 in factory location.  Factory  jack and tool kit included.

DRIVE/4WD: It accelerates and drives fantastic down the road at all speeds, no shimmies, shakes or pulling to either side.  The ABS power brakes operate properly and stop great.  Four Wheel Drive; The 4wd low shifts as it should which activates the CDL and ABS lights to illuminate on the dash.  Both the front and rear differential lockers activate within a matter of seconds.  When activating the front or rear differential the selinoid can be heard activating each locker which changes each blinking light on the dash to stay on solid.  Lockers and 4wd hi/low both work great! 

PAYMENT: $500 due via paypal within 3 days of auction end, (if you don't have paypal, contact me before bidding and we can work something out). The remaining balance due upon vehicle pickup in for the form of cash, cashiers check or money transfer, (we could even meet at a bank if you prefer, I've heard bad stories about fake cashiers checks).

SHIPPING: Winning bidder will need to make arrangements for picking vehicle up from my location. I have no experience with shipping, but I will assist on my end if winning bidder chooses to ship. Buyer is responsible for shipping and all fees associated with it.

I reserve the right to end auction early since the vehicle is available for sale locally too.

Currently California smogged, and in smog cert in CA database which is good for 90 days.  Smog performed on 2/18/2014.

UPDATE 3/30: To answer questions I've added about 25 more pictures (see photobucket link above) showing the keys and manual, undercarriage, wheel wells, body and bumper and window seal details. The only surface rust on anything is on the tow kit. The undercarriage probably needs a pressure washing to get the years of road grime off. Detail of wheel wells shows how clean and rust free they are. Window seals all appear in nice condition and un-cracked. All glass says TOYOTA on it except for the front windshield. There are a couple, almost not noticeable, tiny stars on the windshield. As far as the body I'm calling it extremely clean, especially for a 20 y/o vehicle. There are a dozen or so dots of touch up paint the previous owner must have done. It could probably use a good waxing, then it would really shine. There is a small ding on both of the rear passenger doors , with no damage to paint, (very difficult to capture with camera). Also looks like the PO had a 'push bar' on the front bumper. This must have left two areas to the right and left of license plate where it looks like it wore through the paint of the bumper. There is also a small ding, (1/4" or so), on front of hood and scratch on chrome grill that is in line with the marks on bumper to the right of license plate. This is my first vehicle I've sold on Ebay, and it didn't really dawn on me that most people aren't going to see it before bidding or winning. So I'm trying to point out every flaw because I know I wouldn't want to be surprised if I was buying a car; sight unseen. Again, see photobucket link above. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have.
