2003 Prado GX KZJ120
Hi everyone,
What a great forum - I've been glued to it for hours & like some others here, I'm about to dive into Prado Land. I'm looking at a 2003 GX KJZ120 (online) & if I decide to buy it, an RACQ inspector will have to look over it b/c I'm in the outback at the mo.
But not having bought a Landy before, I've a few questions & I'd really appreciate some ideas on them if you folks have time. I've also put the ad up for the Prado if anyone has a chance to check it out. This GX has most of the goodies I need on it except for spotties.
My questions are ... on a non optioned GX:
- does it have traction control?
- is the VIN difficult to find?
- what are GX 'skinny' wheels vs GLX's 'wide' wheels?
- are skinny wheels generally rubbish on outback/heavy sand/flooded roads?
- where would one fit a 2nd spare wheel if there are no roof racks (I'll remove them if they're heavy enough to push up fuel consumption)?
I've got 100 questions to ask the seller but not having done this before, if anyone has some extra GX-specific ones to throw in, I'd be really grateful!! I checked the seller's asking price against RedBook & it's a bit over the recommended $12K buuut given that it hasn't done over 350K kms, I consider $13500 to be fair ... but am I just being naive??
Thanx so much for any thoughts & advice!
cheers
