Is this a good buy? I thought these went for mega bucks, seems cheap.

Correct thats a Hilux in a frock, the Prado/Colorado are not the big proper ones

The colorados/prados are still big, it was bigger than my disco2 and it will get you every where the amazons will go or you want it to go, just beware they are only rated to tow 2800kg. They are fantastic cars! Depends what you want it for, what you want and what you can afford. Parts are expensive for all the land cruiser models and stay away from cheap Chinese parts, I love the amazons, but they are expensive to run.

About 18 months ago I sort of bought one by mistake. It's a prado which is the import version of the Colorado & it's turned out to be the best vehicle I've ever bought.

The one in your add looks in better condition than mine with the nicer leather interior but the add doesn't say the engine size. Mine is the 3L diesel version that gets about 25 to the gallon & if I was to sell it I'd be advertising it for the same price as the one in the add.

I've rarely seen a reasonable one of these sell for less than £3300 which seems to be about their bottoming out price.
