Land Cruiser 80 Series Chassis

[pwuser155942108093]

Hello,
I need to know about Land Cruiser 80 Series Chassis number
I am buying one of them and the Chassis number starts from JT111TJ. The Owner Claims that it's a 1996 Model VX Limited 4.5 Petrol, the problem is that when I put the chassis number on a Japanese Website it says that it's a 1993 Model VX 4.2 Diesel Turbo and even the color code doesn't matches with the vehicle color.
The second problem is that it's a custom auctioned vehicle and I don't know that how to verify that if it's custom paid or not in Lahore.
The third problem is that it's under carriage is all painted and who ever painted that also painted the chassis number of vehicle.

Please guide me that should I buy the vehicle or not?

How can I verify that it's a Original VX Limited 4.5 and having original engine?

Thirdly, How can I verify that it's not tempered and it's custom paid?

In the engine compartment there is plate with all the details including , chassis type, color, engine model,details of axle and plant at which Lc is built.
Did you check this plate and try matching with chassis number , color code, engine type etc.

What is on the book of the vehicle if registered?
If it's 96 and is a custom auction then it's correct because the vehicle auctioned by customs never ever goes without model details.
Now comes the issue of is the chassis is petrol cairient or diesel this can be searched on UKDM sites as this chassis number starting from JT is usually comes from Europe or any pacific country.
Jdm always uses the correct code like HDJ80 FZJ80 etc.

Plus what evee the chassis is if it's custom auction then it doesn't matters that it is either diesel or petrol because one who is our hing the vehicle should spend a fortune to make it road worthy.
And as you stated the chassis is painted that fortune has already been done so verify the documents from excise if registered and before transferring the vehicle on your name or before the purchase go for the forensic laboratory test if the chassis number to avoid any inconveniences on the future.
If the vehicle is unregistered and auctioned from customs the previous owner is responsible to get it registered and there you can confirm the auctioned document integrity are they genuine or not from the concerned auctioned place or any custom house which is near you.
If it's city auctioned it will be verified on the same day if it's auctioned off from any other city you need to spend some rs to confirm.
In both cases it's a good deal.

Good luck with the purchase

JT111TJ cccccccccc
c are 10 digits

That is vehicle VIN. if the vin you have, has match with the website you checked from, the vehicle has been swapped with engine / body shell. Rest is explained by @rajaatta in detail.

this website also pull data for export, asian, us, eu models of every toyota produced

I'd also recommend to discuss with owner for forensic lab report for which you shall agree to pay if vehicle is clean clear, or walk away if documentation and forensics have variation.
