Just checked out this ‘96 Land Cruiser.

170k miles.
It’s triple locked.
New radiator.
New OME lift.
California all its life
A/C cold
Clear coat is nasty
Has seat tears but not super bad

$7000

What major problems should I look for?

Most importantly is its service history and maintenance. Ask the owner if you can pay to have it mechanically gone over by reputable mechanic or dealer . Let them give you the good, the bad and the ugly. Better to spend a little before you spend a lot.
