Ya, but for $7500 bucks I would rather buy a Liberty CRD.
That's what I did, except try closer to 20k for my 2006 CRD sport.
In the meantime, I'm trying to sell my '83 BJ60 Landcruiser, though I wish I didn't have to. That thing is beast! Pretty much unstopable. 3B motor with <180k miles, 5 speed, 31x10.5 tires, kaymar steel bumper in back with swing out tire carrier and jerry can carrier, aluminum bullbar, Warn 8000, and ARB lockers front and rear. And it gets around 21mpg highway. Pretty good for brick.
The only problems are parts availability (had to get a new transfer case shipped from Japan!), no AC, no ABS, loud as hell compared to the Liberty, underpowered for hills and interstates, and a lovely coating of rust courtesy of British Columbia. Even so, I'd keep it if I had the space and the funds to insure and register two vehicles.
Well, Im in a unique stituation, for $7500 or less I could buy into a CRD.
