Thinking about selling my 1989 swb safari diesel factory auto it has front and rear arb lockers , safari snorkal, Braun 9500 pound winch with a aftermarket single solanoid unit, the engine has only done 180000 the auto has a trans cooler, the body is in immaculate condition and same as interior .it also has arb winchbar with ipf extream spotlights and a gme UHF. The tyres are maxxis bighorn 32 inch by 10.5 in white sunies, 2 inch suspension lift with king springs and koni shocks. Electric windows and centrol locking. It runs a 24volt system Theres more but can't rememer . So how much is this truck worth ????

worth as much as someone will pay and as much as you think is reasonable for it.

Nowhere near $17k!

You can get GU's for that sort of money. I'd start at $10k and pray.

I've got $6000 sitting here for you. Can come and get it whenever.

My reasoning:

Its an auto and at 180,000km the box is due for reconditioning soon and that is a PITA because its a 24v regardless of the tranny cooler.
Its a GQ Safari, the body might look shiney and straight but it will have cancer somewhere.
Its a 21yr old import.

Realistically if it didn't have the modifications I'd offer you $4000 at best.

ps: I'm serious, i've got a cheque with your name written on it. Be a good lad and help me out of this "jeep thing"
