READ AD IN FULL BEFORE BIDDING

**DO NOT bid on this item if you do not intend on paying for the item.

Ask your questions BEFORE you bid !!!!!!!!!!!

I am NOT a vehicle shipper/importer/exporter/dealer and I have no idea on the expenses. Do your own research IN ADVANCE if you are getting the vehicle shipped.

Do NOT place a bid if you are not serious. This is not fair to the seller and other serious bidders.

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 immediately 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.

You can call me anytime if you have any questions! Mark 214 seven zero seven 5586
