how much do you recon you can get for you Hilux now? before the conversion and with the original motor in the condition it is right now?

it won't drop, it will go up

imagine having a hilux with all the good qualities and has power :laugh2:

JMO
when we were on the market for a 4x4 D/C we were looking for a hilux with a V6 and could find none
they are scares and it a old and proven conversion
should not loose any value, unless the guy looking to buy is a collector and is looking for something original

The market is smaller for V6 conversions, it's the same if you get the right buyer, but if you trade it, it would drop about 20%

I recon you're a bit optimistic there Jono... but I take your word for it. :twisted: :twisted:

Is the 4Y in mint condition or is it stoofed?? Because I reckon with a stoofed 4Y motor you would get about R35K.. Ask young Stubsie.... :twisted: :twisted:
