Hello,
I have been trying to find/buy a 150 for about a year now here in Belgium/Europe and struggling with finding basic info or even an LC for sale anywhere near me so here are some questions I have that hopefully you guy's can help me out with.
1.Wikipedia says European Land Cruisers were called LC3,LC4,LC5 for their trim levels, I assume they mean UK and not Europe because everything i see says VX, TX, etc. Either way, is there a breakdown of what the price and options were for those trim levels for lets say 2010 or 2012 LC's because when i do find them for sale they are usually those years? An original sales brochure from that time period would be ideal even if it's from the UK cause I bet I can decipher what a LC3 was called over here with enough info.
2.Is there any information on how many were sold in the UK or Europe roughly? I ask because they are exceedingly rare especially with 7 seats, if I am looking for a needle in a big haystack or a little haystack would be really helpful to know.
3. For those of you with the 7 seat option, I have watched a few youtube videos about the 3rd row and there hasn't been a lot of consistency on their accessibility/comfort level for longer trips. Would a small adult like 5 foot 6 be semi-comfortable in the back or it strictly a kids only zone?
4. Parking these things in public garages: I assume if you can park them in the UK I can do it here in Belgium but honestly how much of a pain is it? I drive a Prius which even for Belgium is good sized car and pretty much every park job is parallel and with a ton of stress even with sensors and a camera.
5. What are some additional J150 related websites/resources? I have scoured youtube and the normal web searching but mostly come up with Aussie stuff which to a degree is helpful but not with the questions I have right now.
Ok that's all I have for now, thanks in advance for any info.

Hi,
1. Yes, the U.K. Is LC derivatives, LC 3,4,5 then anniversary models. Prices, a 2011 example in LC3 trim I'd say £23-£25k, anniversary £28-30k, will avg miles, say 50-60k
2. #'s, not sure, but they are not to many I've seen in the UK either, as to 7 seats capacity, not sure if std or an option, or at what level (LC3,4,5) they may be as std. I would consider having the 7 seats as not rare etc
3. I've an anniversary, electric rear seats, 2 kids, or 1 adult would be OK.
4. Big car = big space, check model specs, you can have parking sensors, and all round cameras
5. I've got Bly used this site, very quiet, hopefully reflects how reliable they are |

Thanks for the info, 1 more quick question about air suspension, is that an option or standard on all trim levels? |
