1997 Toyota Landcruiser AWD SUV. I am the second owner (it was sold by a Knoxville Physician to a car dealer I know and I immediately turned and purchased from him - to it is listed as 3 owners, but I am in the real sense the second household this car has been in) and this has been my daily driver for 6 years.  Has 227,100 miles, leather interior seating for 7 including the rear cargo area fold-up seats.  Am/fm/cd with ipod interface, sunroof, ac, heat and rear heat, power windows and locks, tilt, Class 3 hitch (It pulls our 3500 pound wakeboard boat easily).  Replaced radiator and battery last year. Michelin X-ice tires are 70-80%.  Has never been in major wreck or had frame or panel damage. Rear right bumper was hit before I bought and repaired.  I have had to touch up the exterior paint in places over time and those touch up places have faded some so that needs to be done again IF you wanted it to look near perfect - but at any distance, you do not see even those - no rust, all body panels are solid - Interior is very clean - only issue is the front leather finish is wearing off in places - the leather itself is in good order - no rips, tears.  Carpet has no rips or tears or holes, anywhere - no major or unsightly stains.  Small bulb which illuminates the AC power control is out, power controls still work, just need the bulb replaced behind if you wish to see the power level buttons at night.  This never bothered me enough to fix.  Mechanically, has been very sound over the years - almost always garaged - Uses some oil on higher speed interestate type driving over hours of driving - This takes 4 or so hours of high speed travel to notice any oil use.  Also, does have a small oil drip (one drop a night or so). Again, this never bothered me enought to fix it and it doesn't leak enough to have to adjust fluid levels.  Overall, for the age this is a reliable, well maintained car. I have not seen one personally from this age in better condition.  I have been on the fence for months about selling it as I have a newer Landcruiser now and am just having a hard time parting with this one.  Feel free to ask me any questions. Reserve is set well below NADA retail (and I am using the correct mileage adjustment), and vehicle is up for sale locally so auction can be cancelled upon local sale.
