Turbodiesel Landcruiser where art thou????

[mjsmitty]

Is a Turbodiesel Landcruiser a good investment? Better than the gas version? What is the mileage? I would assume it has to be much better than the gas.

Could someone please tell me how/where I can get a left hand drive late model Turbodiesel Landcruiser that I can bring to upstate New York? What's the easiest and cheapest way? Are there any trustworthy importers that can get them and take care of the paperwork? Do they charge an arm and a leg?

Many european automakers have programs where you can buy the car in europe, drive it around and then have it shipped to the states for little or nothing and you can save pretty good money on the purchase. Can I do this in europe with Toyota?

The only requirement here is that it has to have at least 7500 miles on it to bring it into NY.

The way the price of gasoline (petrol for Australians) is going I suggest that everyone convert their Toyotas to diesel as they are more:

fuel efficient
higher torque
waterproof
simpler
reliable
safer
can idle all day long
less overheat episodes
can burn bio diesel or vegetable oil (without glycerin)
