Advice needed on buying a 1999 hilux 2700i R/B (280 000km)
Hi guys, Im new here and I need your expert advice urgently please. I want to buy a hilux 2.7i that I saw, its a '99 model raised body 2wd with 280 000km on the clock for R75 000. The engine still sounds very quiet and doesnt smoke but the clutch shudders everytime I pull away in 1st hot or cold, and sometimes it struggles a lot to go in 1st gear aswell, especially if the bakkie is still moving..The other gears are still fine though. Im guessing its the synchromesh on 1st thats ''moer toe''? Other than that, it still drives very very well, no clunking,whinning sounds etc..
What do you guys think? Should I buy it, replace the clutch and do a gearbox overhaul or should I rather pass and look for something with lower mileage but with a higher price? The bakkie has been well looked after but I dont want to overspend on it as its done a few miles already. Any advice will be much appreciated

Short answer 'pass' - for that price you can get a 4x4.
Single or Double cab?
Any major extra's?
KM you don't have to worry to much on the 2.7i they easy go to 600 000km

As Mark says, that vehicle is very over-priced. I paid about the same for Hound Dog, 2000 S/C 4x4. Also had a gearbox problem with a sticky 1st and noisy bearings but the gearbox overhaul was only about R4500 for a set of new bearings and the replacement of the nylon gate.

I remember a '99 2700i D/C 4x4 going for R85k on this forum a few months ago...
IMO price bit steep; if it was a 4x4 then not bad.

Omtrent dieselfde kilo's en prys maar baie meer bakkie vir jou geld EN dis 'n binnelanse bakkie wat die roes faktor kleiner maar as by die kus.
Trade R57700 en retail R70700. En 'n hele klompie ekstras maak meer sin vir die ekstra R10.
Doen jouself die guns en koop eerder 'n 4x4 van die begin af en spaar jouself baie frustrasie later!
En opskud, sulke mooi trokkies wag nie lank vir sy nuwe eienaar nie!

Re: Advice needed on buying a 1999 hilux 2700i R/B (280 000k
Manne, baie dankie vir al julle raad! Ek het toe n ander bakkie gekoop vandag wat ek gesien het, 2004 Hilux 2.7i S/C R/B 147 000km vir R95k. Is regtig in n baie mooi kondisie, soos nuut eintlik. Ek het met die vorige eienaar gepraat en hy se die bakkie het nog nooit gewerk nie, die ou bly op n golfbaan en het hom maar net gebruik as n luxury voertuig... Ek sal bietjie more fotos laai. Nogmals dankie vir julle raad, waardeer dit baie!

Baie dankie Mark! Ek was maar baie bekommerd oor die brandstof verbruik maar sy lyk darem nie te swaar op brandstof in die dorp nie, ek vat dit maar rustig, kan so ver nog niks fout find met haar nie, ek sien net hulle het onlangs die agterste gearbox oil seal gechange, lyk darem nie of hy weer begin lek nie, hou maar duim vas ;)

Dankie Thabo, ek was eintlik opsoek na n wit ene maar aangesien die saleman my R10 000 afslag gegee het moes ek net die bakkie vat :) Net een vraag, is dit maar normaal vir die ratkas om so effens n whine in the he? Dis net as mens binne die bakkie sit wat jy dit hoor, maar soos ek se dis baie effens. Gearbox bearings kan mos nie al gaan op daai km's nie?
