Hey guys,
Ive been looking for a Suzuki sierra WT for a few months now, and i think i have come across one that suits the criteria Ive been chasing.
Only thing is, i think it may be a bit on the pricey side.
I spoke to the bloke and he said it is slightly neg, but not too much.
Hopefully ill be going to look at it next weekend.
Any advise from the gurus?
Thanks

The fiberglass roofs are between $500-1000 to buy

The small swampers and rims at a guess 1200-1500. new

body lift $200

Bullbar $500-800???

These are aproxx for what you would pay to get these items if you really want them.

which means about $3000 - 4000 for the car. Not too bad a price

Thanks guys.
I got the price down to 5k without the spare tyres.
Have asked for some more pictures. (interior, engine bay etc)
Have organized a day next week to go look at it.
Any other advise fellas?
Cheers

If its been in mud as in the photos, check all wheel bearings and other parts prone to being affected by water. Take oilcap off while car is running
and check there is not lots of smoke comining out in puffs (Bad rings).
Expect diffs, g/box and t-case to possibly need an oilchange as water and mud f-everything up over time

this zook was owned by one of my mates-mates and it was maintained so well. He got a scratch in it once and got a complete re-spray. He rarely went 4wding and spent SO much money on it its not funny. Not a bad buy.
