im selling my zook to buy a gq, just wondering if there are any major things to look out for? and a rough price guide. im not fussy about condition, because as long as it has some vic reg on it, i can get a rwc. i just want it reliable and reasonably cheap. im looking at spending between 5k and 15k, depending on engine and accesories. any info helpful. thanks
First of all do you want a SWB, LWB or a a tray Petrol motor crack heads, especially when on gas, the standard diesels are slugs, watch for rust aroung the rear window frames and floor and look for body mounts punching through the floor, mainly with lifted rigs.
Check for warn sincro's in the 5 speeds and also broken engine mounts, front seats get a bit dodgy and the LED clocks work when they want. Other than that they are pretty tuff.
NOW ABLE TOO SAY WHAT I WANT WITHOUT FEAR OF LOOSING SALES.
The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.
im not fussy whether it is swb or lwb, but not a ute. i already have a ute haha, i would prefer a turbo diesel, but how slow is a standard diesel, is it as slow as the zook?
compared to the f150 maybe, but compared to the zook?? flat chat with 33" tyres to help the gearing it does 100kmh, sometimes when the engine warms up it does 110!! im in carrum downs
Have a bit of patience, cause the first of the japanese GQ safari's are about to hit the grey import market.. All SWB, all factory turbo diesel, all the interior and exterior trimmings, etc... Most have 50-60k on them, and are still way cheaper than you can buy a flogged out local unit for..

I don't really know?? I was talking to a mate last night, and he said a friend of a friend sort of arrangement had bought a sh1tload of them and was ready to send them over, so I hassled him a bit more this morning and he sent through some more info and that photo.. So they shouldn't be too far off, I guess?? How long does a boat take from japan? Customs clearance would have to take ages too, I guess??
The one in the photo is already quite possibly sold to someone on this board
