Toyota heavy duty 4x4's do hold their money, we bought a Hilux new in 2007 and sold it 3.5 years later for roughly 70% what we paid for it, miantained models have one of the steadiest depreciation curves you will find, the only other comparable vehicle i can think of that does as well are LR Defenders.
That may be, but realistically there isn't that much demand for them (this country isn't exactly full of people wanting huge off roaders to pop to Tescos?), and especially dodgy US-sourced LHD models with (likely) no history or way or verifying any of the 'information' given.
I agree that they appear to be hardy vehicles - who can't forget the battered Toyota pick up on Top Gear! Still, I wouldn't have one unless I was a farmer or other rural worker needing serious off-road capability, and I'd go for the diesel version - I can't believe anyone in the UK owns the V8 petrol version (the fuel bill alone would bankrupt you) - if you want a flashy V8 4x4, get a Range Rover.
Just a bit of fun :-)
