close to buying a mates, hilux 2000 model, 3.0lt , 140000km, dual cab, bullbar, warn 9000pound winch, spotties, draw system, fiberglass canopy, roofracks, new suspension/ 31inch tyres, UHF. always serviced & 5000km oil changes. $15,000
advice on weather this is a good price for a lux of this type and anything to look for would be great.

cheers everyone.

Sounds reasonably fair but be warned - buying a mates car can almost always end in tears.

assuming that it's in good nick it sounds nice.

try looking at the price of that vehicle without all the goodies, then see how much it would cost to put all the extras on as an idea as to how good value it is.

i agree with the above statement regarding buying from mates. i would advise you to treat it like a purchase from any other joe schmuck, and do your diligence on its condition. and if any problems arise in the future, wear it and don't try to bring it back on your mate or it may turn nasty.

Pretty bloody cheap, i say buy it but get a full written report done first by a reputable mechanic including compression test etc .
At that price you have enough room left in the book value to do some minor repairs yourself and still be cheap .
As others say if anything goes wrong remember to just wear it and you will have no probs .

I agree, bloody good price the only thing is purchasing from mates.

I have juts recently sold my car and had trouble selling it, however, had about 4 or 5 mates wanting to buy it from me.

Initially i told them ever little thing that was wrong with it to hopefully persuade them that they didnt want to buy but this didnt change anything so in the end I just told then that although I know the car and think there is nothing wrong with I cant guarentee that it will be like this next week or next month so I wouldnt sell it to a mate.

They understood, but if you buying get it fully checked out and as stated if something does happen to go wrong, cop it on the chin.


cheers

Yeah l thought about the drama about buying it of my mate, but as you all say will get it checked out. just seems really good value with all the goodies on it. it also has dual batt and the injectors have been done and the truck is in good condition. What size tyres could l go to without buggering the diffs ect..

Thanks for the replies

I THINK that you will have trouble fitting anything bigger than 31" without doing either a body or a suspension lift. Tried to fit 32s one one of these and they scrub the inner guards pretty bad on the front, no worries on back. With enough lift and inner guard bashing I can't see a problem running 33s or even 35s if you're real keen. Although 33s would be my limit personally one one of these.

Sounds bloody cheap to me.
