New member- buying a hilux

Post by gohawks15 »

A family friend is selling his 2010 SR5 hilux, 3L Turbo diesel, 240,000km, full service history, new timing belt, and he'll sell it to me for $15,000. Will be my daily car, with occasional offroad usage but no serious 4x4ing. Too risky with the high k's or bargain?

I am assuming you are from Australia?
Nope, I don't think so in terms of the Hilux.

Welcome aboard, Kade! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I'm no diesel boffin, but depending on how hard it's been ridden that mileage may be a bit high. The guys with more diesel knowledge can elaborate. ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Have your injectors checked before you buy, the KMs is not to high for a Hilux
