Hi Guys.

Selling my beloved KZ-TE and looking for buy a new shape D4D 3.0.

I have found a 2nd hand one in Pretoria but I am in Cape Town. so was just wondering of there where any guys near the Sinoville area that my be able to pop round and give it a quick one over before I make the long flight/ drive up and down :shock2:

Anyway if I don't ask I will never know... I know its a big ask :thumbup:

cheers for now

Morten

Kom, kom, baie manne daar!

However, there are plenty dealers in that area, most in Zambesi avenue.

Be VERY carefull with your dealings there. Somw skobbejakke operate from there and are known to turn back the clocks, sell rebuilts, etc.

Not saying all in Zambesi is skelm, but Caveat emptor!

+ 1000. Ek het 3x voertuie gekoop in Zambesi die laaste 6maande en ek kan my hare uit my kopuit trek. Wees baie versigtig vir BARGAINS

Milage suspiciously low.

If not verfiable by Toyota walk away.

Anyway, for R200k you can possibly get a newer model or a non-stolen model at least!

Are you looking for a 4x4 or 4x2?

unless the codes have change, code 1 new vehicle, code 2 second hand vehicle, code 3 rebuild or stolen and recovery, code 4 special build vehicles such as three wheelers and fire brigade trucks. This vehicle cannot be a code 2!!

Should be a code 3 if stolen and recovered. Banks are very hesitant to finance code 3's

Wait before you buy - I might know if a nice one.
