Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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?

Well if you get some pics for me then we will really look into it

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.

And you can make a Rocky flex too.

But wait theres more if you order now we'll throw in a free set of steak knives...

I am looking into those, they are kinda scarce though. Its a matter of finding one of the two in good nick and for teh right price!

QLDGal,

There is a cute little `91 on EBay right now for 9,950.00...Item #2437859737. Comes with a set of steak knives.

Hey Kent.....is that the Chev powered 38" Boggered SASed Rocky that has recently been lowered and involved in a roll-over ??

(pirate may have mentioned that)

Did it used to be a different colour.....and a Mud-runner ??

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.

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.

I guess that 'TITLED' means Engineered

I'd love to have the running gear !! 500 Horses

That sounds a bit to adventerous for me I'm just a simple girl

Just some more piccies of the US Rocky in case you didn't go to the ad.

More

....

That's it

That sounds a bit to adventerous for me I'm just a simple girl

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....

Besty,

I found the piccie of the truck you mentioned. Once again I don't know anything about it. They are two different trucks...This one kinda looks like yours

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. 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.)
