This legendary Toyota Land Cruiser SUV has attracted attention among car enthusiasts because it is nearly 20 years old but still possesses original condition, rare in the large off-road vehicle segment. In the off-road vehicle enthusiast community, the Toyota Land Cruiser 105 Series has always been considered one of the "peak" models of the golden age, standing out for its durability, practicality and maximum simplicity of design.
In particular, the diesel version like in this article is less popular than the 4.5L gasoline version, but retains the original configuration, without being modified or having the interior intervened like this, which is even rarer. It is known that this 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser for sale belongs to the last production batch of the 105 Series before Toyota switched to the Land Cruiser 200 (J200) generation. The special feature of the 105 model is that it still retains a sturdy separate chassis, combining a part-time 2-wheel drive system with rigid axles both front and rear. The car is almost completely original from the exterior to the interior. The body is still the original pearl white paint, the Dunlop tires are new and especially the original leather seats, dashboard, and steering wheel show almost no signs of deterioration.
The car has a mechanical air conditioning system, the entertainment head has been replaced with a Bluetooth type, however the entire design still ensures the original aesthetics, without losing the inherent "soul" of the car. This 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser SUV for sale in Hanoi has an odometer of just over 100,000 km, a modest number for an SUV model nearly 20 years old. According to the owner, the car is regularly maintained at the company, has no accident history and is mainly used for long trips and not as a daily means of transportation. The special thing is that the car was first manufactured and registered in Japan, then brought to Vietnam. This further increases the car's collectible value, because Japanese-origin cars are often carefully maintained and less affected by harsh environments.
The 2005 Land Cruiser 105 diesel engine is being offered for sale by its owner for 1.3 billion VND – not a small amount for a 20-year-old SUV. However, according to long-time car enthusiasts, this is a reasonable price, even "soft" for a rare, original car and the last "high generation" of the 105 series.
