Immaculate Prado 90 V6

Post by raider »

Let me just say I have nothing yo do with this sale, just thought forum members would be interested.

Went to go drop of my dad's BMW at Forsdicks Tygervalley yesterday and saw this beauty parked outside. For them to be selling a 1997 model car already tells you its a clean car. Inside and out is immaculate and the car has new General Grabbers AT's on(those tyres won the AT shoot out in Leisure Wheels or SA4x4). Mileage was just under 200000km. This was after hours so I could not speak to a salesman but you can give them a call if you interested.

I know Family Dog has a soft spot for these :wave:

Zubair

I know the previous owners VERY well.This vehicle has never ever seen off road.No bodywork done(Besides the one arch came off and they had that resprayed).It was a old mans car(Seriously)bought a New F30 and M4 Coupe.

Let me guess the front passenger side arch was resprayed? Was very neatly done but I have a keen eye for paintwork :cooldude:

>> I know Family Dog has a soft spot for these :wave: <<

Indeed! I don't think I would ever sell PraDog, the car is very capable and consumption the same as any of my other Hiluxes but with considerably more power & comfort!!

200k is a very low mileage for this model, they generally still run fine at 750k!

Undoubtedly. I sold my caravan but still have a boat, tows it perfectly but then a boat tows relatively easily.

Go for it Chris!! The Series 90 Prados are tough, extremely capable and comfortable and they are by far the best-looking Prados ever, the newer ones are pure bling.

Chris, I really had not the slightest intention of buying a vehicle. Was just walking past an Automark lot when the salesman jumped up and asked me if I would like to see PraDog's engine.

Well.... wotc'ha think? I'm re-blooded after all. He swung the starter and the V6 burst into life, saying "Buy me! Buy Me! Buy me!" and then he revved the engine slightly, causing the Induction manifold to suck me right in. Next thing I knew, I had signed the offer to purchase - all this without even going on a test drive. It's a Prado, not necessary to test it first.

True story.

Chris hoekom vat jy nie daai Prado vir n test drive nie dan kan jy ons kom vertel hoe mooi hy is en of hy lekker genoeg ry vir jou!!!
Seker jy sal vind dat die voertuig is baie underrated!!
