1988 Toyota Land Cruiser — lower mileage or better documentation?

I wouldn't throw parts yet. Two 1988 Toyota Land Cruisers can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Not driving it hard until I know more.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Capture voltage while the 1988 Toyota Land Cruiser is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. On “lower mileage or better documentation,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.
