Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am looking at selling my 89 GQ 4.2 Diesel Patrol here in Adelaide. The car has only been in the city for about 8 months and before that was in FNQ. How much would I be looking at selling it for on the Private market or a delaer? It has done 237,000 Km

i bought a 89 with 340k 4.2 diesel brand new suspension had some rust in roof gutters i paid 2800 upload some photos for a more acurate price but i would guess 3-5k depending on condition and any mods

I do not know how to upload photos, but I will email them if someone can put them up for me. Dealer offered me 7k for it. So naturally I should get more on the private market for it?

Go back to the dealer and accept the offer mate

but then I am stuck with nothing. I cant afford to buy a new patrol so I was thinking maybe a suzuki sierra?

Yep then don't sell it. Seriously if you got offered $7K for it go and take the offer

RUN BACK THERE and take the 7g's..!!!!

As said, why are you looking to sell it if you 'will have nothing'...?

Only you will know if a sierra will suit your needs... unless you expand what your requirements are.

Well I have found a Sierra which I am having a look at on friday. So I not gonna go selling the only transport I have to work incase this sierra is no good, anyone about 6'2" had one of these and did they fit in the drivers seat?

You're outside the Nissan forum for this q... but Love_Mud is a tall bugger and I think he used to fit into his Sierra okay, check in the Zuk forum of shit-shat.

237,000 on an 89 diesel GQ is pretty low. Are you sure you want a Sierra? They are good but not necessarily great as your only form of transport.

The clutch packed it in today. Not the bext experience for the middle of a shopping centre intersection. Turns out I have sprung a leak where some rubber connector connects underneath or something, I not very mechanically minded lol. I would most likely have trouble changing a tyre. Any ideas how much that will cost to repair and what the guy who had a look might be talking about?

who knows how much it will cost mate,

depends where ya go,

as to the person lookin, who knows if they will know,

good luck champ

If it's the flexy hose section in the clutch line, I just got one from the local
nissan dealer for $31.00 odd? it was a pain to get it connected.
just have to bleed the system now

cheers

Turns out it was the clutch slave cylinder. $140 bucks later and I am back on the road

I'm 6'4" and drove a Sierra ute for about 12 years with no drams fitting in

If you're not mechanically minded and can't really work on your cars yourself then a Suzuki is not for you
