Check out my Land Cruiser for sale on Cars & Bids!

[MCTogs]

If there's anything Doug loves more than buying new cars, it's selling them on cars and bids

[jjmarz]

1. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
2. If you store your car, disconnect the battery.

[joeljeffrey]

Doug's the type of guy, to have reliability issues with a Toyota 😂

[TritonCommerceMA]

Dude. You are great at reviewing cars, terrible with mechanics. 14k to fix a perfectly fine Toyota is insane.

[Secondvenus]

Doug created Cars and Bids to sell his cars for double the price in half the time

[jjmarz]

Spend 13k on things that aren't broken, but don't fix your broken windshield, and don't spray the undercarriage for rust protection.

[ben.nethw]

Doug is the type of guy to “vow to keep it forever” then proceed to sell it two years later

[GordonMeacham]

There’s a reason the old timers on Nantucket used to spray the undercarriage of their vehicles with used motor oil/transmission fluid. There’s salt in every puddle.

[CarEnthusiast]

First the Land Rover now the Land Cruser. Doug must have found a LM002

[johnspeed_]

This is a little ridiculous. You could have treated the undercoating for rust if you knew would be parking it by salt water. You probably would have been fine by not replacing unbroken parts and spending $13k… Anyways, these are well documented to be very reliable cars.

[notsolegitgarage]

This was a Tyler Hoover kinda purchase. Buys it, breaks, puts 13k into it, breaks again, sells it

[stonepa]

$13k??? I haven’t spent that much on my 3 Land Cruisers over a total of 37 years of ownership. Always at the dealer. You got seriously taken to the cleaners. My 200 has a lot more miles and I would drive to Panama tomorrow.

You should be able to park it all winter with no issues. I have a 1998 LC 100 with over 460 k miles. It sits all winter under a pile of snow less than 100 feet from the North Pacific Ocean. It is hooked up to a trickle charger. When I show up back in Alaska in May I’m confident it will fire right up like it always has. While I am there my 200 will sit all summer in Seattle and I know it will start.

[pa_guy]

$13k on repairs and updates, $0 on protecting it from the elements. What could possibly go wrong?

[shadowzone]

I love how Toyota has their reputation for being reliable, so people think that nothing can ever possibly go wrong

[Denim_Chicken]

Doug DeMuro the type of dude to wiggle his fingers over a box of donuts and say “Ooh, don’t mind if I do!”

[KutsalDogan]

You should start watching The Car Care Nut:) In the LC world, you never search for a dealership, you search for a mechanic who worked on many LCs. Find the person who is knowledgable on these rare cars. A random dealership is just a crapshoot for LCs...

Doug is the type of guy to stand in the elevator with his back facing the door

Doug, I have a 2008 Land Cruiser. Had the same failures ... starter, radiator crack, and idle pulley tensioner. The starter was my fault. I jumped the battery with the terminals on the wrong polarity and that killed the starter and started a small fire on the battery. Thus far, the water pump is good, but I think my alternator is starting to fail. Last week, the car started very weakly and then not at all. I charged the battery and the car started again. We will see if the alternator charges the battery this week. Also, the low range 4 wheel drive switch ( relay? or something ) is broken. Dealership mechanic told me to just keep in 4 Hi. That repair is quite expensive and I don't go off-road or tow anything with this vehicle. Outside of the starter, all of the failures started last year at around 200K miles. I'm at about 215K miles. I hope to keep this to 300K. Love the vehicle and it has served my family well for over 15 years with little to no problems in -40 Degrees temp in Alaska to 100 degree heat here in the South.

7:30 as someone who daily drives a 2013 5.7 Tundra, I can confirm that the water pump and radiator love to fail within 110k miles. Only issues i have had with mine though!
