On the face of it there are perhaps some bargains to be had.. Maybe dealers will snap them up, polish them up and sell them to the public

I expect that they will be high milers and probably hard driven, though Land Cruisers are built to take a lot of stick if you can afford to run one they are a good buy

Those Prices are the reserve, they will go for alot more then those prices

Ive attended auctions, and they are not necessarily high mileage, some of the double cabs etc are driven to the work site and can sit there all day without moving, also they are well maintained regular serviced etc, unlike private cars which are sold at Bank auctions, the thing is the dealers will have a max price, that they will bid for them, private punters dont, hence they make good money.

Be aware that such old vehicles have much higher tax levels than new ones, because of carbon emissions. It is not impossible that new regulations may be imposed that the vehicles over a certain age may be forbidden.

Afternoon
After a lifetime in the motor trade mileage is just a number,
I used to buy my trucks new and run them for seven years,
In that time they would do between three quarters and a million miles.
Then we would sell them to a firm in the East Midlands he would then sell them to Africa
One day we got an email from a man saying he has seen one of our trucks on the Zambezee
He said wich way did we come and where was we going well after hilarious laughter
All around the office my daughter said I have to answer him dad what shall I tell him.
I said tell him he has seen our African division
Keep smiling
Pete
