I paid all cash in 1990 ($27,000) for a brand new '91 Landcruiser that
now sells for well over $100,000. It runs like brand new and has cost
practically nothing to maintain; one new battery, one new set of
tires, and normal fluid changes... oh, and occasionally air in the
tires. Has a little over 100,000 miles and I can easily get more than
I paid, in fact the mechanics at the Toyota dealership who maintain it
have offered me $50,000 for it. I'd rather keep it, what could I buy
with $50K that would be better... wouldn't even pay for a new tractor.
