2021 Toyota Land Cruiser LC300

Aside from the brand image, a lot of LCs are also found on streets because their large diesels make them more efficient too compared to something else huge that's usually petrol. That would be a good factor if they use one as a daily-driver, moreso if they go through a lot of traffic. But even then, who cares about fuel consumption if people can buy these luxury cars. Lol.

Who cares about fuel consumption when you have the money to buy a 7M car.

Yan nga literally nasa last part ng comment ko. Lmao.

Surprisingly there are people who do care about fuel consumption at this level. These are the same kind of people who install solar panels on their 200m houses and rotate time deposits over a 25bps difference.

Yes. These folks can also opt to put a full tank on their cars and then after that, just commute to wherever they're going instead of using or driving them in traffic.

Speaking of Expeditions, I was browsing FB Marketplace and could not believe how cheap those things go for nowadays. 500-600k you can have a previous-gen Expedition EL already, or the short version of the 2nd gen for 200-250k. < 200k for the OG.

I know gas is expensive, but when you have 300k extra for fill-ups you can probably drive a guzzler for a few years before you start losing money.

Yeah, its an amazing couch on 4 wheels. Perfect "pang-hakot" and flood car. Its massive but the visibility is very good compared to current SUVs. The size was useable when I started driving a bit over 10 years ago but now its inconvenient to use in parking basements and the narrow lanes of the skyway and NAIAX.

Meanwhile, LC80s that are much older than modern expeditions are still fetching for close to a million peso or higher. And as usual, the most desired units are the local and preserved ones.

As for the expedition, they said that the first and maybe second gens are more reliable compared to their respective successors. But they have 4-speed autos which are already super archaic these days.

The ladder-frame explorer can be a more ideal alternative to it if size is a concern. But it sucks that the local model only came out with the small cologne v6 engine (it used to have timing chain issues), not the modular 4.6l v8.

That 25 bps is worth millions to them ...
