Seen regularly in Sydney for $4-5 for both diesel and petrol when I was looking.
however I'd be really wary of a Diesel for that price unless it had something like some major dents that might put a buyer off.....

Your talking for a Long Wheel Base at that price?
i have seen SWB and LWB petrols that cheap and Deisel SWB's at about $8000, but wat about LWB desiels?

If you getting SWB diesels for that bring them to QLD where you get 10-12k for them. SWB prices in QLD are ridiculous and Diesel SWB are "give left knacker" for.
Seen a few LWB diesels for that price... but as I wanted petrol and too far away too look at not a biggy to me.
just keep em peeled. Ant tell me if you're spotting more SWD Diesles for that price we'll start shipping them.

12,000 is what i paid for mine & i think that is about right for one in good condition. There were heaps for sal for a lot more. Below 10k for deisl make sure you get it compression testd first as you might be buying trouble.

Had a look at an 89' GQ LWB Diesel today at a dealer for $8990 ( basically $9000 ) and it was in pretty good nick, manuel, air, steer, the motor had about 298000 km's on it though.....
was rear drum brakes....
muffler looked like it had been welded up but apart from that was straight enough.
It had no rear rear seat. was only 5 seater.
Petty it was sitting next to a TI model with leather and the lot for $14000 LOL

Lots (about 10 or so I checked) dont specify if diesel or not which is a pain.... So you ring em up and find out it's diesel then good luck to you if that's what you want. When I was ringing up thats how I found out some of them were diesels and that was when I told them... cya...
Not many stating they are diesel in there this week.
And this... think with LPG can afford to have petrol:
Nissan Patrol 1989/1990, 7 seater, LPG/petrol, 7 months rego, auto, 4 good tyres, $5350 neg, QVH-630 GUILDFORD 0425-85 4570
If not then if you're gonna pay $12k for a diesle then you should buy a petrol and drop a Chev V8 in it as that would work out as cheap.
