True ...

but R100k is only the 20% odd deposit on a new (std) one so that's not even in the equation...
Mine currently insured for R112k, extras listed as R54k 'cause there is no LTD on the insurance systems.


So , point is, in Jeremy's shoes I would rather buy a R100k '97/98 SFA in the same condition as mine as opposed to a 2001 IFS with 500k+ km on it with the same extras, especially if you've seen the conditions of some.

I believe there is still a market for R80k-R110k SFA's (and some have sold for R110k on this forum not so long ago), albeit that they are rare finds, but they would generally be in far better condition than any IFS in the same price range.

Incidentally I saw a 94 SFA last week at a car dealer in the area for R89 900...stock standard, and it was gone this weekend past....

My 1989 D/C SFA is insured for R152 000 after I provided my broker with valuation certificate of bakkie and invoices for extras on my bakkie. Will I sell it for under R100 000? Never ever.

I need to redo the valuation on mine as well....with the R/$ rate & all...

Dawie your SFA is mint original...the more factory original the higher the price.

Well, I am now the proud owner of a dc Hilux 2001 2.7i! Purchased through this forum, from Wazungu :D: flew up to Jhbg yesterday from Pietermaritzburg and drove Harriet the Hilux back home the same day. She drives like a dream and has been so well cared for. I hope to get many years of service from her. Thanks to everbody on the forum for their comments

Well done, Jeremy.
