Good price 87 Hilux?

Post by Jumbo Swart »

:?: I can get a '87 Hilux with a aftermarket sprayjob. It has got Ltd towbar and bullbar which is chromed. The sidesteps en rollbar looks to be from a new Hilux which is also chromed. The suspension has been lifted en 33" Kumho tyres on. What would a good starting bid? Please help I would reall like to buy this car.

that price is far too high for an '87 .... you could get a clean '97 for that money! Offer him 45k, no more!

Jurie

If the spray-work looks that good up close in person and the rest of the vehicle is not a complete dog with stuffed interior and badly abused transmission and suspension parts etc and rust repairs was done decent, R 75k is not a bad price. But make sure its an honest vehicle not just one with some bling to cover/eye blind you from its faults On SFA's year model does not count that much, the condition of the car and the extra's is what determines the price. If that was my van in good nick, I too would not let it go for R 50K

Start negotiating at R 65K and see what happens, maybe R 70K is a good compromise for it but that is just if all is done as good as the photo appears, make sure they did strip it down during the respray, pull away window rubbers etc. to see if it was a decent respray or just a spray over. Check the a pillars and gutters and vents for signs of body putty over rust etc.

Good luck

Die prys is te hoog. Niks meer as R60K vir so 'n ou bakkie nie, hy is net bietjie opgedollie, hulle het 'n bodylift gedoen en nie eers die bumper of die rocksliders opgeskuif om by die body te pas nie. 'n nuwe lagie verf kan baie defects wegsteek. Ek koop eerder 'n bakkie van daardie ouderdom met sy original paint as 'n mooigemaakte ene. mooimaak is maklik, maar om ander mense se weggesteekte geknoei na die tyd reg te maak is moeiliker.... :shock: :shock: :shock:

Wel ons ooreengekom oor die prys en ek gaan Maandag deur vir die finale inspeksie. As alles dan reg is sal ek met my "nuwe" trok terug ry huis toe. Ek sal Dinsdag laat weet wat het gebeur. Baie dankie almal. :clap: :thumbup:

Why do I think this bakkie has been advertised here before, a while ago? Or am I thinking of another one? I see it has a NW numberplate.

If it's in Klerkies/Stilfontein, I could also go view it for you.

Dit lyk regtig of dit Lichtenburg kan wees, maar ek dink dit is teveel vir die model m2cw

This confirms my thoughts that this vehicle has been offered for sale before, and here in Stilfontein. I still thought what a great-looking bakkie, and someone reported back that it was a rust heap. Such a pity.

Jis, jammer Jumbo. Ek wens ek kon jou die trippie gespaar het. daar in Klerksdorp is so een of twee wat ek al gesien het. Ek gaan more Klerksdorp toe, sal kyk of ek hulle kry, dan kan ek en dalk Eric ook gaan kyk, en ons opinies oordra aan jou.
