Our limited guarantee:

All turn key Land Cruisers shipping form our facility in Flagstaff Arizona, ship with an inspection, a service and a road test. If there are any issues found, they are address prior to shipping. If the vehicle arrives with an obvious issue, the next steps are the following:

 

Contact Greg at Vintage immediately so he can discuss the issue and find a quick solution to the issue. If there is a mechanical malfunction at delivery, vintage cruiser will immediately address the problem and arrange to have it repair, fixed or part replaced at a local service center Vintage selects. There will be no charge for this work.

 

We offer very limited guarantee to show good faith in a long distance purchase. We what to ensure you enjoying your Land Cruiser as soon as it arrives.

 

If a problem is found and cannot be resolved: Vintage will then arrange to re-sell the vehicle on the new owners behalf, there is not time limitation and the final selling price will cash the customer out of the purchase. Close the transaction, No exceptions.

 

Vehicle inspections are requested of all customers.  Acquiring an old vintage or antique vehicle is a serious personal decision. Due to the age of these old 4x4's and often lack of detailed history, imperfections on paint, and comfort levels, it is entirely the new buyer choice and responsibility to make that decision to acquire.  There is no way of knowing when repairs may be needed. There are no guarantees to mileage accuracy. VINTAGE tries very hard to accurately describe the vehicle condition, in the end, there is not substitute for seeing & inspecting it in person. Acquiring a vehicle is 100% the buyers reasonability.  Personally inspecting a vehicle can alleviate all kinds of issues later on.  Again we highly recommend you take a day and visit our shop and the vehicle in question.


Any and all Mechanical repairs:   Vintage performs an inspection & service to all vehicles before they ship.   We support the work we performed in your agreement. If an issue is found on work performed by Vintage, we will work to have that problem addressed. Whenever possible, Vintage will work to repair or correct problem work before the vehicle ships. If a problem occurs on work we performed at delivery, then Vintage has the right to review the problem and then quickly & reasonably correct it.

 

We offer an inspection and basic service to all trucks ship out.  That means the car starts, shifts, drives, brakes and turn signals & lights work when it leaves our shop.  Your email purchase agreement will outline which services you are paying for; the basic “inspection & service” or a “full mechanical” restoration. 

 

Our inspections and service work are not to be misinterpreted as a full mechanical restoration, they are not. Mechanical restorations can be costly and time consuming. This is often work that comes later as you get to know you truck and what changes of improvements you choose to make.

 

If a repair or correction to work done by Vintage needs to be performed, then the customer must discuss in advance with Vintage and get their approval for any outside work to be done. 


Other times it may require a mechanic to repair. VINTAGE will arrange all repairs unless the customers have prior written permission for an outside vendor to make a repair. The cost for repairs made WITHOUT VINTAGE's written authorization is the customer's responsibility.

 

If a problem is found and cannot be resolved: Vintage will arrange to re-sell the vehicle and cash the customer out of the purchase. No exceptions.


With 20 years’ experience in outfitting & restoring Land Cruisers, we have contacts throughout the US and will recommend a preferred Service Center in your area for you to take it to. It is important that you work with our service center, period. ALL Repairs & Costs must be approved by VINTAGE in advance or any guarantee is void. Additional work is the customer's responsibility.

 


Customizing and or restoring or vehicles:
  Whether a vehicle is being restored fully (new mechanicals and new cosmetics / High Cost), partially (new cosmetics / Medium Cost) or customer chosen options for outfitted/customized (repainted, reupholstered, updated emblems, weather stripping, etc) will be explained in each individual's Purchase Agreement.


The majority of vehicles we work on are getting outfitted & custom upgrades. We do not perform custom mechanical work at our facility, instead will recommend an outside vendor or shop we are familiar with or have worked with in the past. This work is clearly listed in each individual purchase agreements.


Traditionally we will select a vintage Land Cruiser, inspect and test drive all trucks, before shipping. Making sure she starts, accelerates and has safety equipment working. Plus if we spot any obvious mechanical issues (like turns signals, fresh fluids, etc) we make every effort to correct them before shipping.


However, our inspection process and test driving does not mean "restored mechanicals" or that Vintage Cruiser is responsible to make the vintage vehicles mechanicals perfect, new or restored mechanically. There is a much larger cost associated with fully restoring the mechanicals.


Any additional mechanical restoring of each vehicle will add a significant cost to the build and will be outlined in the agreement. 

 
All Transactions:  With any and all transactions coming from these website postings, please be advised that these vintage vehicles have been previously driven and has been subjected to various levels of wear and tear, both cosmetically and mechanically. We attempt to inspect all vehicles prior to offering them and to describe all vehicles as accurately as possible. 


All information on vehicles (history, mileage, condition, options & descriptions) is provided for information purposes only and are without guarantee. It is the buyer’s responsibility to verify what you are buying. We highly recommend you arrange to visit, inspect and test drive your vehicle before committing to it. Once committed the vehicle is your responsibility.


We do our best to accurately describe these vehicles. When finding a domestic or imported vehicle (sight unseen), there is the chance of options being added or deleted without our knowledge prior to delivery. That is for the buyer to research, look over & decide.  In addition, many custom built vehicles that come through our shop are highly customized and there is no way we are aware of all aspects of the motor, trans, options, etc. We have no way of predicting when and where a part or mechanism may need to be replaced or repaired. Therefore, we cannot be held liable.

 

If you choose to buy sight unseen, then you agree to our terms. In addition, there is no possible way to know the complete service or maintenance history, include all minute details and imperfections or to guarantee its reliability.


Emissions: We have no way of knowing whether or not a vehicle on the website will be able to pass your states emissions regulations.  Therefore it is important that you do your homework to know what the requirements are in your home state and to make those modifications to you vehicle prior to having it registered and tested.

Restored / Rebuilt Vehicles:
  It is important to note that there are many levels of restoration. All come with the tag “restored”.  The important decision is where you looking at one or planning to do it, there are two main differences:1) a body–off restoration or 2) a body-on or ground-up restoration. The question to ask is; was it or is everything getting restored /replaced or is the body left on and only some or most of the components getting restored? You decide and make sure everyone is clear on what you are looking at or looking for.  It is important that if you are not sure when looking at a vehicle that you inspect the vehicle before taking delivery from a customer.


Vintage vehicles in general:
    It is important to have the right frame of mind and be aware of the realities when having some upgrades, modifications or custom work done on a vehicle. Do to the nature of rebuilding an antique vehicle; there will always be some new issue and challenges that will need to be resolved or corrected. There for it is important to be flexible and have patience having a custom built vehicle worked on. Rest assured the extra time it takes to finish agreed work is always worth the wait.


Paint:
  The quality of our paint work is of good quality, not concourse. We take care in prepping the body and pay attention to remove almost all blemishes. None of our paint work is flawless. Under fine scrutiny you can find flaws, but they will be minor and not obvious.  The prices we charge for paint work is affordable in the 2000 to 5000 range. Near perfect paint work comes at a three X uch higher price. If you demand show quality work or concourse restoration work be expected to pay 3 x times the above amount.


Completed work:
  Once a project is complete, we recommend you come and review the work before taking delivery. Then there is no question of your being completely satisfied with the outcome. If you choose to take delivery without viewing the work first, you are accepting the work completed. Once the project leaves Vintage Cruiser it is the property of the new owner's and all Freight On Board shipping conditions apply (re-read above).
