why are toyota land cruisers so expensive

Short answer: demand is sky-high, supply is tight, and the LandCruiser’s reputation could tow a road train. Toyota rations allocation, so even used LC200s and LC300s get bid up like rare vinyl.

You’re paying for heavy-duty hardware, long-distance reliability, and running costs farmers can predict better than the weather. Fleet and mining buyers soak up stock, which keeps residuals strong and dealers confident on price. Add Australia’s Luxury Car Tax tripping over higher-spec models, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for “blimey, how much?”.
