I currently own a '94 & '97 80-series in the US, 3x locked, OME lifted. I'm active in the South Carolina IH8Mud.com community and the Old North State chapter as well. I expect to move to Germany (Rheinland-Pfalz) in April and would like some advice on purchasing a Land Cruiser (I will not bring mine from the US).
- I'm leaning toward an 80-series or 100-series Land Cruiser, but I have to admit I have an eye for the Mercedes G-Wagon (only the newer ones are available in the US, so they are overpriced).
- Given the price of fuel in Europe, I'd like to go with a diesel that has better fuel economy.
- I'd like to get one that is around 21 to 23 years old so I can bring it back to the US when I come home. Vehicles over 25 years old are much easier to import.
- I will most likely use the vehicle as a daily driver, I don't know where I will live but I will probably have a commute of no more than 20 minutes. I intend to use it for expeditions and mild off-roading.
- Are there any clubs or organization for off-roading or expeditions?
