LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE
This Land Cruiser is located in San Jose, Costa Rica - 7 kilometers from the airport.
We moved to Costa Rica in November 2013 and bought this Land Cruiser from the original owners who bought it brand new. Much work was needed and this vehicle is now 100% mechanically sound. This vehicle took us to explore all over Costa Rica and Panama driving 10, 000 kilometers and has never once let us down! We are now back in Texas for business and not sure if or when we’ll be able to use it again. It breaks my heart to sell this vehicle as it’s been great fun, but my wife will not let me import the vehicle to the U.S. I have the clean title in hand and will help with the title transfer and power of attorney if needed. If required to transfer title, we will return to Costa Rica to make sure this happens. The vehicle is in long-term storage with a family friend. He can also help with any arrangements if needed.
