Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I am going to buy a car, purely for resale, but i want to ahve it checked b7y a 4x4 pre inspection specialist, the car is near Geelong, anypone reocmmend some one to look at this for me?

Dont laff (well not too hard) but its a 2000 Explorer and I klnow these are lemons, buts its WAY cheaps and low kms, which is why am so sus - its comes back fine from an inspection i will buy and resell...

..anyone want a cheap Explorer?

I dont think there are many people on this board who would be interseted. Have you checked what people are selling them for in the trading post. maybe its not so cheap?

umm that part was a joke, i wpouldn t think many 4x4 folks would want an Explorer.

Just hoping for a recommendation for a 4x4 pre purchase inspection out Geelong way...

I used these guys when I bought the mav. They were ok, missed a few things like broken engine mounts. So far so good.

BE VERY CAREFUL!

These are difficult to resell as they have a fairly bad rep, even with non 4WDers. There is one on the side of the road here in Bayswater and he's been dropping the price for about 10 months or more now and he can't get a buyer. I think it's down to mid $13k at the moment. Doesn't look to be anything wrong with, just no buyers.

How much? I don't think I'd touch one even if it was $10k.

RACQ.. they do good ones and are quiet specific with details. used them a couple of times.

mmm RACQ to Geelong Victoria?

Either use your normal roadworthy guy (then you know how much you will have to spend for RWC) or find a VACC accredited inspector.

If the VACC guy misses anything and you buy the car he will have to pay to get it fixed.

Note: Don't expect to move the explorer along quickly. They are relatively worthless and as said by someone else even non 4wders generally don't like them.

Colour can also affect price, there will be a reason it is cheap.

Agree with both statements.. theres been a couple forsale on one board for a while, that keep dropping in $$ weekly.. best bet is to use it for a tradein.

ALERT 4X4 or some thing, He found out that the jeep we were looking at had been stolen and recovered and then given a legit number so it could be sold legally and yes rang to see if it was stolen or any finance ,but he neww his stuff.
