SFA Hilux For Sale - Low km`s

Petrusd · Post by **Petrusd** » Fri Aug 27, 2010 9:28 pm

I came across this Lux at a used car dealership

HTF 899 GP
1998 model
167k km`s on the clock
3.0L Cressida Engine
A/C
R70 000

Does anybody here know anything of this vehicle?
Is the price realistic or should I try to get it for less?

Some input would be appreciated.
Thank you

Take it for a test drive see how it performs and check it out, tyres, leave springs, shocks, extras and in what condition the body oh and make shure the paperwork is in order. Try anyway to get a beter price. I paid 70K for the Spartan and it was a std truck at the time in a vert good condition and I spend quit a bit on it to get it to a standard I wanted it. Big thing is why did the owner sell it would you realy like to have it and I can tell you now that you will have to spend a few bucks on it to get it to a standard where it will be reliable and not leave you along side the road. Bottom line is it is not to bad price imho

Hi Jaco,
I have not yet seen the bakkie in person. The people at the dealership sent me the picture and the bits of info that I posted. Does the cressida motor increase or decrease the value?
I want to be informed before I go to them to test drive the lux...

Hi Gary
Thats in line with my thoughts as well
Fixing "non standard" vehicles is always a pain somewhere down the line...

Hi Gary,

Just a general question: Why do a GP vehicle need a police clearance?
Does that mean that if I should look at vehicles in other province`s that they also need to be cleared?

Ok let me say this about that, mod's are not for everybody, if you are not mechenically oriantated and have to ask somebody to do everything for you stay away from that truck. Personally I have riped the std engine out the moment it was cold enough to handel it and installed the 2JZ GE 3.0L Lexus motor. Hope this help.

My in-laws have a timeshare house at Henties...
I`m there every second year for 3 1/2 weeks in January, and I need a 4x4 to play with.
`n ou kan nie die heeltyd visvang nie :)

I had a soft 4x4. It was great on the flat sand (all that ESP,BAS, + many other traction control goodies), MAAR. Die kar was te laag en ek wou nie iets seermaak nie.
The front bumper was about 20cm from the ground.

It would be nice to do some 4x4 trails as well + atlantis duens

I once had an original 2.2 4Y D/Cab Raider (fantastic vehicle) When I bought it the engine was a bit too pap for my liking and although I believe in the old trusty 4 Y, I needed a bit more Kw's & T. My friend bought a modified Hilux SFA with a 2.8i twin cam Cressida motor. (A real petrol gussler!!) Because my 4Y had high mileage and it was a bit under power, I decided to give it a complete engine overall with a stage 2 head gas flowed conversion and free flow exhaust, branches the works! The result was amazing (lighter on fuel more tractability more torgue , you name it!) One long weekend on our way to St Lucia I gave his 2.8i Hilux a lesson no one could believe! It outperformed his modified petrol gussler in all aspects. From the Wesrand to St lucia he filled the std tank twice whilst I did so once! From Pongolo down to St Lucia I played with him & his 2.8i. My advice go standard look for a nice honest 4Y (SFA) for around 60 - R80K you will find many in good condition or go for a 2.7i IFS (very sought after & scarce but they are out there) if you want to fork out a bit more moola.

I plan to visit 2 "veld garages" today to see whats available.
The one is in Kuilsrivier/Bellville - on the corner of La Belle Str and Voortrekker Str.
Its opposite an old cemetery, and
The other one is at Tygervalley Centrein in Durbanville - Valley Auto Fair.

Luckily its a perfect day in Cape Town and it will be a nice drive on the motorbike :)

Petrusd · Post by **Petrusd** » Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:03 pm

I`ve seen my first (since I started hunting for them) 2 Hilux bakkies today

The white one was in Bellville R57K with rust and the suspension (vere) should be replaced. Supposed to be a 1991 model... (die foto lyk beter as wat die bakkie in die vlees lyk)
I did not click with the sales person. As soon as they start with " there are other people who are also interested in the vehicle" dan raak ek lam.

The blue one was at Tyger Valley. Pragtig
Lexus V8, 1994 - BAIE netjiese bakkie R129 000
Did I mention that this is a REALLY nice Lux?
Dit is.

Just a bit to expensive for my wallet

The search continues...

Hi Gary,

Does anybody know about the costs of adding A/C to a bakkie that does not have it?
Any reasons not to have it done?
At this point I only look at bakkies with aircon.

My factory fitted aircon cost R6000 to "fix" and I still have to use my imagination to feel the "cold"...

BTW mine lost it's gas again and I am not going to regas it this summer, my imagination is strong enough now.

Petrusd wrote:Any reasons not to have it done?

Rather spend the money on a lekker fridge to keep cold-drinks ice cold when you need to cool down.

My purchasing budget is 65k to 70k+/-
IF I pay 75k it would be for a stock SFA Lux with less than 180k km`s, FSH, AC and be either 2.2 or 2.4 petrol. m.a.w. Wors in die hondehok :)

I think the consensus would be to say that any vehicle with a "non standard" motor is a risky purchase and the price should reflect it.

Jy sal wel mense kry met meer geld as verstand.
Daar was hordes mense om daai bakkie - by verre die gewildste kar daar.
As jy geduldig is kan jy 3 bakkies koop vir daai geld - Die R40k bakkie wat in die Paarl was, is vanoggend verkoop.

Daai lyk regtig na n mooi bakkie maar is bietjie aan die duur kant maar ek dink die man het hom in vi85K maar soek eintlik 75K, die manne doen dit en as n ou verbykom wat nie stry nie dan score hy so ek so sê praat met die ou en hoor. Op die oogaf lyk dit na n mooi bakkie.

I WILL get one - its just a matter of time and jikkerigheid :)

It was an absolutely stunning day here from 5:30 till 8 this morning.
No wind, not a cloud in the sky and about 17 deg C. It`s still about 80% cloud cover and the wind is blowing moderately (by Western Cape Standards :) )

Ek is weer in die mark vir `n Hilux

Net `n "heads up" vir almal wat gebruikte motors koop.
Registrasie nr`s en Vin nr`s is baie belangrik as jy tweede handse voertuie koop, MAAR, die heel belangrikste nr wat jy eintlik soek is die voertuig se register nr.

MAW die register nr is KONING

Dit is die outjie wat vir jou sê hoeveel aktiwiteite daar al met die voertuig se papiere was.
Eienaars
Registrasie / Deregistrasie ens...

Ek het so amper-amper `n kode 3 voertuig gekoop.

As jy net met die Vin/enjin nr`s of voertuig registrasie nr`s werk sal jy dit nie sommer optel nie.

Die ouens wat afgeskryfte bakkies koop en dan reg maak laat die voertuie weer op die pad sit en haal dan die "CODE 3" af.
Ek weet nie presies hoe dit werk nie, maar al hoe jy dit optel is met die voertuig se register nr.

Sterkte aan ons almal wat bakkies soek :)

Ek wil nie ander mense se verkope benadeel nie, so ek sal maar redelik vaag wees.
Dis `n relatiewe "nuwe" SFA. Van die laastes wat gemaak is.
Maak net seker dat die bakkie nie `n klomp eienaars die laaste paar jaar gehad het nie.
