oldypigeonpopper Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 hello, just seen this local to me and not being motor techy, thinking to change my DIHATSU TERIOS, so its 2002 reg no GV02 LSX in green, 4X4 3 DOOR petrol and 81,640, 1590 cc, been told VGC, 3 month warranty, for £2,250, is that a good deal, any advice welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I think is way overpriced £1200 is more like it.I paid £1900 for my 02 a few years back with 90k on the clock.Great cars with a bullet proof engine and gear box.With full muds there is no stopping them.Make sure you check the sills and brake lines.You cant get aftermarket sills so they have to be fabricated (£300/400 with welding) that what mine cost.But all the old **** has to be cut out(and i mean right back).I should of just had 2inch box section welded in as new sills but didnt ask the off roaders for their advise before i jumped in. SERIOUSLY get under and bang those sills as a lot are bodged.If who ever is flogging it tries to stop you,walk away. l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoy1979 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I agree with Davyo, it's overpriced but i'd put it at £1500 if it is truely "vgc" as you have been told, assuming it's not a soft top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is though once these jobs are done youve got a car that will last another 10yrs.Painted mine nato green with a roller and put 2 sunroofs in.Just as well because one night (well early morning 2am to be precise) i lost it and slid off the marging into the wood.Ended up wedged fast between two trees and couldnt get the doors open.Had to go back two days later with a chain saw and cut her out.Ten minutes with a hammer sorted the dints out a quick roll over with some more nato green and she was ready for round 2.
