It looks very tidy 2" lift kit suzuki wider wheels low milage(not sure what)in silver/grey 7 seater, poly bushes etc etc. S reg thing is he wants nearly £3000 for it which i think is way too high although it looks very clean and definatley not abused, recons he gets 30mpg out of it.Heres a couple of pics What do you think? How much is Tax per year? What should i ask or look for? Decided to wait for something else cheers for all the help!!

huntsman Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 £3000 is way too high for that on a 1998 mate, It is very tidy looking and doeslook like a well looked after car,but if its going to be used off road then for me to trash a 4x4 I personally wouldnt be paying £3000 You can get a Nissan terrano on a 53 plate for that which for me is a better vehicle for the money.

billytheghillie Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 imho way to pricey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Not sure where he got that price from, granted it does look well cared for based on the photos you posted but £3k? not sure how to justify that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosa Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I think it has came about as i avertised my car for sale but stated may do a deal with a 4x4. So i would have to justify the deal myself but ask for cash my way. He is after a car so it would suit both our needs. Had one of these a couple of years ago and i thought taht was clean but this looks much better. I asked for pictures as i know what will happen if i go and see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Monkey Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Definately looks tidy enough from the pics but why not spend £3.50 HERE and see what it's actually worth, definately don't spend more than book price, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntsman Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I would price that at £1500 -£1800 tops theres one herefourtrak but that is a forecourt price and looks a better spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You can get a Nissan terrano on a 53 plate for that which for me is a better vehicle for the money. you can do and there is a good reason for it they are no where near as good. It is a bit pricey but its one of the last ones and looks tidy. If really low mileage with a good history then it may be worth it. Things to check are rust rust and more rust, lift the boot carpet and check along the wheel arch seams then get underneath and check near all the chasis mounting points. Then check sills etc, the engines and transmissions are nearly bullet proof but rust gets them. They aren't that refined and economy is 28-30mpg but they are easy to live with day to day as long as you don't have much of a comute.

mosa Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 cheers for the replies. I do 200 miles per week to work and currently spend £25 in my A4 tdi per week. What is the tax on these per 6 months etc? still intrigued by it but not sure what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 The one you used to have was a tidy one.... as said before thats a wee bit pricey.... if you hang on till next year my mate is selling a 98 3.0 trooper, 78k miles had all the recalls ie new turbo/injectors short wheelbase a/t tires on, never thrashed or serious off road, only dirt tracks and the like shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch66 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Decided to wait for something else cheers for all the help!! Good decision, way too expensive, theyre a good towing truck but very agricultural & most are now riddled with rust I wouldnt pay over a grand maybe 1200 if it was exceptional !!

Super major Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 you can do and there is a good reason for it they are no where near as good.

They aren't that refined and economy is 28-30mpg but they are easy to live with day to day as long as you don't have much of a comute. You beat me to it, I was going to say rust, rust and more rust! I spent 2 years searching for a good one, travelling a fair distance. Every time it was the same though. I wouldn't have minded welding a sill up but some of the places where rust had reached in would have been a b*stard to weld and as the rust had set in I'd have been constantly fighting a losing battle. I was convinced that there'd be one out there that had been waxoiled from new and would be ok but I've now given up after seeing the same thing on every one. The last one I saw was a real disappointment; about 64,000miles if I remember right, FSH and two local owners. I had my heart set on it until I looked underneath If it weren't for the rust I wouldn't look at anything else; Cheap insurance Fantastic engine Easy to fix (my main gripe with modern vehicles) Great towing capacity Like I say I've given up looking for one now and am considering a Ford Ranger or Mitsubishi L200, although they'll cost more to buy and a lot more to insure!
