Just get rid of the cheap aluminium & plastic steps and fit some decent rock sliders.

Depending on the condition of it otherwise - it might not be a bad buy. The 80 series was the best L/C wagon they made IMO - they went downhill from there. I had an 80 series GXL a while back, and then it was replaced with a new 100 series - definitely a backward step.

Don't know if there is any truth in it, but I have heard that when the 200 LC came out, the value of used 100 series went up, due to the 200 being a piece of crap.

Wouldn't surprise me at all Dave. I've only driven one 200 series - it was one of the "base model" spec version that they released mainly for the mining industry with the barn doors on the rear - and I wasn't impressed with it. I see them every day on the road in Perth and they just look oversized and plain ugly to me. But I wouldn't give you two bob for a 100 series either - lost count of the number of bits that just "fell off" the one that I had. A decent 80 series though - another story altogether. I was very happy with the one that I had.

Prado's are the same - I've had the 90, 120 and 150 series (all work vehicles). The 90 was by far the best off road, but did not have the best engines of the three models. The 120 (I've had both V6 petrol and D4D diesel version) is a great car to drive on the highway, but nothing to write home about on dirt / gravel, and not as good as the 90 in offroad ability. The 150 has just got larger and uglier, and the build quality has definitely dropped off on them.

A little while back, I travelled about 400km on dry dusty roads in the company of two families, one in a near new 200 series, the other in a very new 150 series Prado. I was in the D4. When we pulled up at the BP in Norseman, the women in both Toyotas were complaining about the dust in both vehicles - their luggage in the back was covered in it and there was dust right through both vehicles. There was no sign of dust anywhere in the D4, though it was caked on pretty thick on the back and right up to the rubber seals inside the tailgates.

From memory, the 80 series that I had did not let a lot of dust inside - it was much better in that respect than the D1 that I also had at the same time - though the 80 series was the GXL model with the uper & lower tailgate while the D4 had the single barn door, which I think will always leak more than a tailgate.
