Sell your Toyota LandCruiser for more than the trade-in.
LandCruisers hold value better than almost anything else on Australian roads, and the private market knows it. The 200 and 300 Series in particular have buyers who will wait for the right car rather than take the one in front of them.

The Toyota LandCruiser at trade versus retail
LandCruisers hold value better than almost anything else on Australian roads, and the private market knows it. The 200 and 300 Series in particular have buyers who will wait for the right car rather than take the one in front of them.
This is a model where the wholesale-to-retail gap is often at its widest in dollar terms, simply because the numbers are large. A percentage spread on a LandCruiser is a lot of money, which is precisely why it is worth testing the retail market before accepting a trade figure.
What Toyota LandCruiser buyers pay a premium for
- Full documented service history with no gaps
- Sahara and GXL specification, low to moderate kilometres
- Genuine touring setups fitted properly and documented
- Rust-free examples with verifiable ownership history
What pulls the price down
- Undisclosed heavy off-road or towing use
- Corrosion, particularly on coastal cars
- Poorly executed aftermarket suspension or accessories
- Missing books on a high-value example
Who buys a used Toyota LandCruiser
Buyers who have decided on a LandCruiser and are working out which one, rather than cross-shopping against other brands. Many are replacing a previous LandCruiser. They are patient, they know the model history in detail, and they will ask questions that expose a car with gaps.
Timing the sale
Supply has been constrained for years and demand does not soften much, so timing matters less here than on almost anything else. What does matter is that the buyer pool is national, a genuinely good example attracts interstate interest, which a local trade valuation cannot reflect.
Which Toyota LandCruiser variant holds its value
Sahara and VX carry the strongest retail premium. GX is a genuinely different market, more fleet and touring buyers, fewer private ones, and the spread between a GX and a Sahara is measured in tens of thousands.

Indicative only, not a valuation.
What to be upfront about
Any serious off-road or heavy towing use, and any corrosion. Both are findable on inspection, and on a vehicle at this price the buyer will inspect properly or pay someone to. Disclosed honestly they cost a little; discovered, they end the sale.
Trading it in versus giving us a go
Toyota LandCruiser owners generally decide on deadline and condition. See the full comparison, or what to do about a low offer.
