Guys,
I sold my Wrangler (it was really hard to see it go). But fortunately it will stay in the group, Ricardo is the new owner :ymapplause: :ymapplause:
Now I am looking for a 2002-2004 LC or Patrol in good condition. In case you closely know anyone who is looking to sell his car, please let me know.
Thanks in advance …
Khalil
Do u require manual or automatic..what is the budget?? i saw couple of land cruiser in dubizzle..nowadays watching the ads closely and saw that couple of owners reduced their prices from thier earlier post..there are about 2 or 3 LC GXR model of 2004 in dubizzle. Just talk to them and have a try…

pl.elaborate on it.do u think lc better than jeep..?regardsHis family has gotten bigger Masha’Allah. He is the father of two now, and one of them being only a couple of months old, Wrangler is not a suitable for the family anymore.
Now he requires a bigger, safer family car, which can also be used in the sand. ๐
And I personally would prefer a Land Cruiser or a Nissan Patrol over a Wrangler any day. I have owned and driven both.

Don’t look into only going or climbing anywhere.
Consider the following;
Reliability
Stability
Comfort level
Safety etc…and many more…!
Hey Humayun, I am monitoring Dubizzle very closely. My preference though would be to get a car through contacts… those two brands specifically are frequently abused. and that is why I have posted it here.
@aemi98 …. LC is not better than jeep … Jeep is the best “offroad” vehicule in my opinion (I know many people do not share the same opinion).
Now, if you want a very good offroad vehicule, spacious, enough cargo, confortable on-road, good local support … Jeep will score very very low.
The above criteria were not my priorities before, now with a change in the familly, they are ๐ so with this LC and Patrol are the best ๐ note that I haven’t factored the price so far, cuz they are indeed overpriced. If with add price/value in the equation, perhaps other models are indeed better. ๐

Khalil,
Check this car whether you buy or not…
Hve a test drive and see..
Sattu Paaji,
There are many Patrol lovers in our group…..
I am not so experienced in desert for comments but having been using LC since short while ago and spending around 5000 AED only on Original spare parts/making comparison of the same spare parts with Patrol, i also feel LC are better than Patrol..

Patrol’s diffs & chassis are supposedly stronger then LC (and most daily driven vehicles).. the 4.5 is a piece of crap however. both cars have the advantage that their mechanics & electronics are relatively simple so your average mechanic can mess around and fix stuff.
want an average, simple, low maintenance & reliable vehicle.. can’t go wrong with LC.
Disclaimer: Got both an LC & patrol.. need to get rid of both of them.
I like your disclaimer Satwinder ๐ =)) =)) :))

2004 prado …. I smell mileage reduction.
๐ Yeah I had that Impression as well. But the mileage is certified by Al Futeim, with a FSH with them since purchase.. I even got the service book with all the stamps (latest 3 weeks ago)… Can’t believe it.
Unless the guy had an insider… I think it’s genuin … A rare catch ๐
