Help price my vehicle

[Jaco]

Hi there,
I would appreciate your valued inputs in what a fair selling price would be for my bakkie. I am on the look-out to replace it with a newer model Hilux.
My bakkie:
1994 2.2 4X4 Raider D/C (white) with service history
A/C, dual battery, ruberised bin, canopy, second spare wheel with removable swing arm thing (Yokohama tyres still good for another 20 000km)

The bakkie has 240 000km on the clock, BUT I have replaced the engine with a brand new Toyota manufactured 2.2 (NOT the Chinese import). Replacement done by Barloworld Toyota with full Toyota warranty. The engin has done 30 000km and is in my mind the "selling" point of the bakkie. It is running very smooth and is more fuel efficient (7.4km/l) (Total spend on new clutch and exh. manifold >R20 000

Also replaced the exhaust manifold (branch), steering s-bend, o/h starter, alternator, new battery recently
I regurlarly "repair" any stone chips with touch-up paint - thus no rust so far.
Why do I want to sell - The bakkie is also my family vehicle and I am looking for something "softer"
Your response would be appreciated
Regards
Jaco

Hi Jaco,

I believe retail value on your vehicle to be in the region of R55 000. But that is not to say that is how much you can get for it

Hi Jaco,

Jaco I reckon you can hold out for a little more than that. The right buyer will come along...

[Family_Dog]

Nahhh... don't listen to those two guys. I will give you R30,000 CASH now for your OLD bakkie....

I really would, of course! But you will get people looking for a nice DC - there is someone now looking for one on this forum, can't recall who it was.

But I still think my offer is not to be sneezed at

Oh, and welcome to the Hilux forum, Jaco!

Don't listen to that old fart, Jaco! He's senile... I'll give you R31 000.00 CASH now! That's a much better reflection of what it's worth...

Anyway, I agree that the "new" engine is a good selling piont. Personally, I don't think you should settle for less than R65 000.00, but only if you are willing to wait a while. But my offer stands if you are in a real hurry...

OK pal, here's the cold hard truth.

In the real world, the one outside of this forum (the romantic SFA place), the SFA Hilux is seen as old and outdated. Half of them cannot be financed, and the other half are owned by foolish romantics who believe that theirs are worth millions, but at the same time will refuse to part with any money to buy any other SFA.

Your single cab is probably worth (in the real hard cold world of reality) R45,000 even with all the mods done. That's if you are serious about selling. Maybe you will be able to get R50,000... Who knows, maybe one of those foolish romantics can scrape some cash together and convince themselves that its absolutely worth it, but that is unlikely to happen.

Don't get me wrong, I am one of those foolish dudes, and for that I will get burned everytime I buy and sell one of these brilliant vehicles. If you can wait a long (looooooooooong) time, you can insist on your price...

Otherwise, accept reality and sell your bakkie for the same amount that you would want to buy it for - out in the REAL world!!!

[ToyX4]

Your single cab....

Ewald, die man het n double cab. Lees weer

[DOELLOOS]

Maybe R60K then...

[Engel]

Snaaks maar die sc is skaarser in die kaap as dc, ook soms duurder! I pel van my het nou een, 2800d 1996 ingeruil vir R30 000. Hulle sal hom vir 50k verkoop

[george]

Lately I see there is a lot of Hilux's(SFA) on the market.Maybe the petrol price?About 2 years back they where very scares.
Like Ewald said in the real world people see that you can get a newer bakkie for what the SFA are going for.Hell you can even get a new bakkie.
You either have to part with it and loose money or keep it and modify it to suit your new needs.

[Jaco]

Dankie aan almal wat reageer!
My wens is dat my volgende Hilux se eienaar net so passievol is oor sy voertuie soos ek! Ek weet ek gaan lank soek...
My 2.2 D/C is, en ek probeer hard realisties wees, werklik iets besonders. Ek sal bv. van enige onderdeel op die engin eet - geen teken van vuil, wat nog te se olie!
Die bakkie is ge-overmaintain (volgens my vrou) - as iets verkeerd klink, ruik (of proe) word dit vervang!
Die nuwe enjin trek regtig lekker - het onlangs weer 'n V8 L/Rover by Waenhuiskrans uit die sand gesleep!
Sodra ek 'n ander voertuig opspoor, sal ek 'n paar foto's pos.
Groete - Nog kommentaar asb.

[ToyX4]

Jaco, hoekom nie maar nou al n foto of twee vir ons opsit nie

[Jaco]

Aan F-D,
Lyk my Klerksdorp se mense het 'n goeie humorsin!! (he-he)
Het tydens twee mty's se samesmelting in 2001 'n bouprojek bestuur in Klerksdorp - ook so by verskeie ander dorpe. Klerksdorp het egter uitgestaan. Het 'n lokale bouer (pa en seun) gebruik. Op elke fout wat ons uitgewys het, het hulle net harder gelag!
Groete

[ThysdJ]

Jaco sit daar 'n paar prenkies van jou hilux op toe man, dan kan ons mos nou mooi sien hoe over-maintain hy is...

[Evert Deyzel]

Hallo Jaco

Ek is ook nuut op die forum en is opsoek na n SFA Hilux.
Stel baie belang in jou bakkie.
Wat se prys het jy in gedagte?
Ek het ook vir jou n PM gestuur, as jy daarna kan kyk asb.

Dankie Evert

[Jaco]

Ek sal ook foto's neem - Hoe post 'n mens foto's en hoe groot moet hulle wees om op die forum te laai?

Evert,
Ek sal jou bel. Ek het moontlik reggekom met 'n nuwer model - moet net vannaand eers huisgvergadering hou!

Groete

Hey Jaco. Interested buyer here... but you will have to wait 2 years.

Bliksem, Ewald, maar jy is suur! En jy se nou die dag ek is te ernstig. Sit terug, drink 'n bier, droom van hoe die Blou Bulle hulle volgende game gaan wen (Yeah, right! ) en kanselleer SupraLux se verkoop. Jy sal onmiddelik beter voel en dan hoef ons nie meer na jou geneul te luister nie...

Ons praat weer as jy klaar al die mods, moeite, en geld op jou wa gedoen het, en dan eendag besluit dat jy liewer nog 'n ou merc wil koop, en dan jou ou liefling in die mark sit. Kom huil dan maar op my ou skouertjie, ek sal verstaan.

Ek probeer maar net die ou die waarheid vertel. Niemand anders gaan nie...

:roll:

[Scorpion]

My Lux word NOOIT verkoop nie! Al laat ek hom op die plaas staan en vrot! Bly sal hy bly! Ek voel jou pyn, Ewald, maar moet nou nie so negatief wees nie. Hoekom het jy hom in die eerste plek verkoop - jy't mos geweet jy gaan soos 'n leeu met 'n seer tand wees.

Spot on Cassie...

En jou span speel K*K..
En jy moet nou met 'n Nissan ry..
EN jy moet jouself wysmaak jy geniet dit moerse.. :evil:
En jou vrou spandeer al die geld wat jy vir jou Supralux gekry het op 1 paar skoene..

Dan is dit maar moeilik om nie te lyk asof iemand 'n kaktus in jou h*l in gedruk het nie...

[Jaco]

Blik..m!
Kan nie kla dat ek nie reguit kommentaar kry! Veral die verwysing na die kaktus in 'n ongemaklike plek ingedruk nogal geniet!!

[Jaco]

Ek het besluit om te verkoop.
Sien sien onder second hand corner en foto link ingesluit!
