coil cabs are great.
I know of somebody that has one for sale
GQ, 96 Model (i think)
Diesel, maybe even turbo???
Air con and all that crap
Absolutely Mint condition with recently detail / painted tray & racks.
It is owned by a company that installs / makes poly piping so it was there transport vechile, they are selling it because they are now buying vans (larger variety)
They are asking $27K

are u sure they arew full coil cabs? i am looking for one at the moment and i have only seen models with the leaf springs in the rear for that price. (even more than that) maybe prices are different in QLD though.

yeah coils all round.
the ute is owned by a company who we do some work 4. he is having no interest in it at all, and called today to see if i wanted to buy it

, but i really can't justify the money on it when i've got a trusty MK

I have a GU coil cab and agree with what the others have said. I retired my comp-ready 40 series when I sold my 100 series tow vehicle and built the GU as something that was comfortable enough to drive on the road to work each day and tough enough to drive where-ever I wanted to on the weekend.
I'm only about to sell mine to help pay for the knee reco that I've just had to have . . . .man, those bills just keep coming in!
If you find a GU coil cab (ie springs all round) for $27k it is likely to be a bone stock DX with no turbo, vinyl bennch seats etc.
