I just had a look on Carpoint ( www.carpoint.com.au ) - it's made me rethink about Adelaide's car prices being too high! QLD takes the cake.

'93 DX Feroza 190000km with air, bull bar and lights is $9990

'92 GL (?! looks like an ELIII to me) 160000km, nudge bar, air is $10490

'93 SXP widetrack 138000km, air $13999

These two are a bit better priced:

'89 DX 120000km, Sunraysia wheels, no air listed? $7490

'95 soft top, 160000km, no air listed? $8499


Anyone know any other websites for used cars?

You would probably get a later model Rocky with TDI, Air, Steer, and fries and a coke for less than $10000. Because they arnt as popular as the Feroza, they sell for a bit less, but are no less capable than the Feroza.

Besty,

I don't know anything about it. Ad says:

YOU ARE BIDDING ON A MAGNIFICENT MONSTER TRUCK, THAT CAN CRUISE IN THE MUD, OF THE ROAD OR ON THE STREET. THIS ONE OF A KIND HAS BEEN CUSTOMIZED FOR ON/OFF ROAD. THE BODY AND FRAME IS FROM A VINTAGE 1991 DAIHATSU ROCKY SE. THE REST IS MADE IN THE USA. IT RUNS GREAT 500 HP CHEV SMALL BLOCK WITH DART 202 HEADS AND HIGH COMP PISTONS 3/4 RACE CAM HEADERS EDELBROCK HIGHRISE INTAKE EDELBROCK CARB AND ALUMINUM RADIATOR W/ 2 ELECTRIC FANS 350 TURBO TRANNY 35000 STALL CONVETER FORD 9" REAR END LOCKER FRONT POSI REAR BRAND NEW AIR SHOCKS 4 LINK SUSP. REMOVABLE TOP AND REAR WINDOW. CHECK OUT THE $3000 NEW CUSTOM PAINT JOB ON A ALREADY RUST FREE BODY. THERE IS LESS THAN 30 HOURS ON THE NEW MOTOR AND NO HOURS ON THE NEW PAINT. THIS TRUCK WAS CUSTOMIZED FOR USED FOR ADVERTISMENT PURPOSES FOR A CUSTOM PAINT BUSINESS. IT HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN TO TEST AND NEVER TAKEN OFF ROAD. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONVERTED FOR BOTH OFF/ON ROAD USE, IT HAS BEEN CONVERTED FROM NITROUS TO A GAS ENGINE. PLEASE NOTE THE SWAMPBOGGER TIRES AND CHROME WHEELS IN THE PICTURES HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH RADIAL TIRES AND SMALLER RIMS TO MAKE THE VEHICLE STREET LEGAL. THERE IS NO TITLE FOR THIS TRUCK SINCE IT WAS NEVER TITLED. I CAN HELP THE BUYER TO GET IT TITLED BY PROVIDING A BILL OF SALE AND SINCE IT HAS THE ONE THE VIN# IS RIGHT SO ALL YOU NEED IS THAT AND A FEW PICTURES TO GET A TITLE.


Vehicle Condition

PERFECT SHAPE NO RUST RUNS GREAT READY AND RARING TO GO! YOU HAVE TO SEE THE TRUCK UP CLOSE AND HEAR THE ROAR OF THIS HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE TO REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

A bit too adventerous for me also as I am just a simpleton...err guy.

The truck looks like it was made for mud bogging with coils all around so it would probably be VERY tippy on the trail. It probably articulates well with the four link suspension though...kinda cool.

Well Mike H. put in a recall with the director at the enchanted kingdom. I have to go get strapped down to a bed with an IV full of drugs...again... Woohoo

And with the exchange rate, US$9950 turns into about AU$20 000, plus freight, plus import duty, plus RHD conversion, plus, plus, plus, Oh just forget it.

Thats a lot of money for something that is that impractical. I guess parking wouldn't be a problem though anymore....

What do you guys reckon about buying a 4wd from a dealer? Is it wise?

QldGal,
It's always easier to buy from a dealer and you may get some warranty protection. The downside is they are generally more expensive than private and in NSW you get title protection through a dealer.

Yep, paid off for me as the water pump decided to poo itself three days before the warranty expired, the power steering pump pulley was loose and required some work, the radiator was cracked and I also had the front wheel bearings replaced..... I certainly got my money's worth out of it. :D It's also reassuring to know you've got some cover if the worst does happen.

Just read the fine print on the warranty- eg. here in SA aircon isn't covered. (:bad-words: still trying to fix mine at the moment!)

(And of course don't pay too much for a Feroza just to get a dealer warranty.)
