Just looking at a 99 gu tray back, factory turbo with adts topmount cooler
3 inch dump pipe and straight thru exhaust , 2 inch lift , good tyers , cab is in top nick and tray is straight just needs some paint ,
has uhf cd layer good steel bar ,
250 k`s is 18 grand too much for this rig? has no service history but engine seems good no blue smoke and nothing from the filler cap while running?

any thoughts ?

seems reasonable, just got a similar year ("98 I think) turbo with std exhaust and no cooler, 2" lift, 237k, near new tyres for $17 000. It has 2" lift n poly airs and factory steel winch bar with side rails n steps n steel tray.

It makes a difference to the price if it is leaf or coil sprung in the rear. The coil all round seem to go for at least $2000 more.

Check if 5th gear has shat itself yet before you buy it !

I got my 99 model leaf rear with whinch bar side rails/steps and tow bar with a service history for $20,000 2 years ago. It had 200,000 wen i got it and at 215,000 fifth gear spat out on the way to work without any warning.

Research the threads and you will see that is no cheap easy repair. It is a an absolute c@#t of a job getting it in and out.

Check the gear oil thorughly before purchase!
