Hi all ,Im looking to buy a 4x4 I want something with low km Im not really sure what i want if your thinking of selling your 4x4 let me know what you have..Im happy to spend up to 15k It will b my everyday driver as well as prospecting vehicle ...
Bogger said:Would be wary on auctions, especially if buying diesel as most times you cannot drive vehicle. Sometimes you cannot even start them. What appears to be a "good buy" will quickly sour if you then find the vehicle needs a 4K injector pump repair, or a crook ABS master cylinder at $3300 to rectify.
Here is an example of what you can get for way under 15K ........................... NP 2005 Pajero EXCEED $1100 ( as clean inside as it is out) .................. with blown head gasket. Put a complete reco motor in and some rego for around $5500 and you have a vehicle with a brand new motor on the road for under 7K total spent. Yes depends how handy you are with a spanner, or a mate who is but basically you can have a vehicle like this with a GPZ7000 in the boot for your 15K spent. :Y:
Also brought another similar vehicle that was $1500 and the reason for sale was that owners walked out one morning and it wouldn't start, so they brought a new car They had several so called mechanics look at it and issue could not be found ................... apparently. They should have tried using the spare key as all the problem was, is the immobiliser chip in the key they were using had failed. New spare chipped key $130 problem fixed or you could have just ran with no spare cost then $0 layful:
True story and one of many such stories. Point being there are some great bargains out there so don't be to quick to throw a lot of money away :Y:
