I have an immaculate 91 model SWB hardtop sierra that i have only had a month or two and am reconsidering whether i want this project or not as i have just started a new job and am considering buying a daily driver and giving up 4wd for a few years.
The sierra has done 107,000 kms, immaculate inside and out, and i have put extended shackles on it, have mounted a JVC cd player in it and have made some panel trims for the back and mounted pioneer 6x9s running off an amplifier. Looking for prolly $5200, have spent a bit of money on it already and won't be breaking even by far, also have a 2" Body lift kit on order i am willing to put with it.
The sierra is A1 condition inside and out, no panel damage or rust, paint job is beautiful and it has been rust treated. I am the third owner, i have had it for a month, the guy b4 me had it for 2-3 months and the old man who had it b4 us had it from new. Very well maintained.
Plus i have an 88 pajero i want to sell.

I paid $1900 for my 90 swb, in mechanically mint condition. it was just a little bit wrinkled (well actually alot) from being layed on its side a couple times in the sand. Mech A1, slightly wrinkled, no rust. looks rough but suits me cause its only gonna get more scratched anyhow.

if anyone is interested in the 91 sierra i just mentioned a few posts ago just pm me

Post by **alien** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 12:44 pm

From what ive seen a modded sierra sells for just as much as a stocker... you dont get money back on mods.

4 years ago i bought my 92 softy immaculate with 170,000k's (i think?) for $7300!!!

That said it was from a dealer with 1yr warranty (which i used! fuel pump, water pump and something else, i forget)

If i sold mine today i'd expect about $5000 for it. and it has a 1.6L with weber, 2" springs and 215's..

I paid $4000 for my 92 on a 97 Coily Chassis, Hilux Diffs, 3 Link + panhard front and rear, Rear Air Locker, ARB Bar and Warn 9000ln Winch, and a Vitari 1.6l donk.....and a phew other bits and pieces.....it didn't have much rust, but the body was dented and it needed lots of TLC to get it looking and driving better.

Heres a pic of when I first looked at it.

Paid $16400 for my coily zook

That was brand new nearly 10 years ago

Post by **nicbeer** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 2:34 pm

My drover was $800 when i got it nearly 4yrs ago.

thats how i managed to pick up my 97 coily in perfect condition with a reco motor and a whole heap of other cool stuff on it for $1000 good ole blown head gasket
Wait ... you have a coily now too?
Some people have all the luck... didn't you get like your first zook for under $300 with 1.3l conversion already done?

What's ya doing with the sj410 .....

yeah $250, it's dead though i rolled it and sold what was left after i took the interchangable parts off of it i was lucky i found the coily so cheap and so soon because i didn't have a car for a while.

Post by **Santos** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 10:37 pm

really? i remeber when i voted 13 times so you would paint it orange as i wanted my 2nd zook to be orange. Real shame it was such a nice zook.

Post by **spamwell** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 11:33 pm

yeah i loved it man but ahh well i enjoyed it while it was alive and now i have a coily so it is all good. One of my mates is actually using parts off it to do his up so it is all pretty good.
