Hi all,

Ive just sold my ricer now looking for a decent 2wd Hilux. Its only going to be a daily driver. Not much work. Only on the odd occasion.

There are so many engine combinations and body styles etc..

I am after:

Manual
Single or spacecab
Doesnt matter what colour, even if old, can respray.

But the hardest thing is choosing my options betweeen carbie, efi, and diesels.

Are the older like 80's petrol luxes still ok? because if i buy 1 for 2k. I can sell it for 2K in 5 years. :lol:

I am also looking towards the 2.7 efi but they are abit out of my budget range..6500 :? And then 5 years later they will be worth/if half that.

Thanks for any input. Not really keen on other utes..
This will not be a mini truck as i already have a toy suzy.
:lol: :roll:

What is your Budget? $2k or $6.5K. Your post is a little confusing.

Could get a older one and put a 2.7(3RZ) out of the new ones in more work i'd probaly just save the coin and buy the newer one like every car i'll deprecite till around the $800 mark like all cars.
