Those are just repair bills waiting to happen. Bills aside, what will be annoying is that the car is out of service. I like my stuff to be available when I want to use it.

I guess it’s down to your intention and what you want. If you care about resale just close eyes forget about anything not Japanese and buy Toyota.

Anyway I don’t see people buying Land Cruisers worried about resale value. They have no intention to sell and just keep using it as workhorses. Early 2000s model with the 2UZ.
