I dont think you will need a VXR bcs u cant think it in the budget and u dont really need that , a GXR V6 is fine but don't go for older that 2012 . but this criteria will does nt fit into your budget normally . Dont go with showroom also . As sJones said , u will get a very good prado . that too an option

Better go for Toyata Prado V6 2013/14 model for your budget.

@Mr.Rat, With that amount for sure you'll get a Very good Toyota Prado 2013/14 Model or else 2010-12 Land Cruiser even directly from Toyota Company as they do have Pre-owned vehicles you can visit them and have a look.. If you need further details inbox me i'll provide.

Landcruisers and Patrols keep their price well.

For 110K , unless you have your heart set on a Landcruiser, why not go for a year or two year old Prado.

For Landcruiser, you must decide whether to go for a V8 or V6 - The V8 is more popular

Manual or Automatic

Go for the VXR model if possible - which has all the options

Thanks acchabaccha for your advice. If I need to plan for less than 2 year old car, thats over my planned budget :(

I will wait for other QLers to comment. Thanks a lot

Showrooms purchase cars and resell them after adding their mark-up. It is always advisable to buy from a direct owner. While QLers who know about Land Cruisers may guide you better, it is better to get hold of a model that is not more than two years old. From what I know, most insurance companies hesitate in providing comprehensive insurance cover to vehicles which are over five years old.
