how much would the vallue of a hilux drop because of ford v6

scout · Post by **scout** » Wed May 16, 2012 3:26 pm

as you know Im going to to the ford v6 conversion.
It will look like factory fit after installed.
(Not planning on ever selling) but for interest sake how much would the value drop?

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

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%

atleast 75

like i said not going to sell just wanted to know.
What hoppy says makes sense.

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

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....

Thanks Thys
My 4y is still running good no problems uses a bit off oil but nothing to worry about.
doesnt use water and no problems with cooling.

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Wed May 16, 2012 4:01 pm

okay, in that case about R55K...

With a good Ford conversion you could get the same money...

Dream on, you Ford Freaks!

The Ford V6 engine will be worth more if it is fitted to a Hilux... but not the other way round!

Go for it, you're not going to sell it anyway, might just as well enjoy the extra oomf..
