I saw the same LWB being advertised for sale months ago, I think also from the same dealership. As much as what I'd love a LWB Zook, I'd be hard pressed to part with $8,000 for it (especially one that is 13-14 years old).

Did a quick search and found a 97 Hilux diesel 4x4, 307000km (Engine reco'd at 200,000km) for $8250 (negotiable).
Whether for agricultural, toy or daily driver, I can't see anybody paying $8000 for the LWB when there is so much more out there.

Unless they're a "Collector of fine automobiles with plenty of money" :).

The rarest LWB W/T is actually the 1.3 Japanese made version which was released in 88. There was only a hand full ever imported into a few states. The Indian made Maruti that is in the advert is a little more plentiful but not as desirable because of build quality and the 1.0 engine. These were/are still popular in the rural sector against a Hilux etc. (as Suzuki 4WD owners know) as they are more nimble and a proven performer offroad in standard spec.
