Hilux 4x4 Forum

I can get a '87 Hilux with a aftermarket sprayjob. It has got Ltd towbar and bullbar which is chromed. The sidesteps en rollbar looks to be from a new Hilux which is also chromed. The suspension has been lifted en 33" Kumho tyres on. What would a good starting bid? Please help I would reall like to buy this car.

Cassie wants to see the pictures first.

Hi Jurie

Is it a d/c or s/c?
And what engine does it have in?

This vehicle is list on Autotrader for 75k. It is the merune one in North West. There you will see all the bling.

that price is far too high for an '87 .... you could get a clean '97 for that money! Offer him 45k, no more!

I paid 43K for my 87'... I had to de-CapeFlats it... but she looks pretty good now!

If the spray-work looks that good up close in person and the rest of the vehicle is not a complete dog with stuffed interior and badly abused transmission and suspension parts etc and rust repairs was done decent, R 75k is not a bad price. But make sure its an honest vehicle not just one with some bling to cover/eye blind you from its faults On SFA's year model does not count that much, the condition of the car and the extra's is what determines the price. If that was my van in good nick, I too would not let it go for R 50K

Start negotiating at R 65K and see what happens, maybe R 70K is a good compromise for it but that is just if all is done as good as the photo appears, make sure they did strip it down during the respray, pull away window rubbers etc. to see if it was a decent respray or just a spray over. Check the a pillars and gutters and vents for signs of body putty over rust etc.

Good luck

Quite pricey, take a magnet with you to check for secret pools of filler

Die prys is te hoog. Niks meer as R60K vir so 'n ou bakkie nie, hy is net bietjie opgedollie, hulle het 'n bodylift gedoen en nie eers die bumper of die rocksliders opgeskuif om by die body te pas nie. 'n nuwe lagie verf kan baie defects wegsteek. Ek koop eerder 'n bakkie van daardie ouderdom met sy original paint as 'n mooigemaakte ene. mooimaak is maklik, maar om ander mense se weggesteekte geknoei na die tyd reg te maak is moeiliker....

The defence rests....

Dit lyk of ek beslis my prys vir Sheila gaan kry

Wel ons ooreengekom oor die prys en ek gaan Maandag deur vir die finale inspeksie. As alles dan reg is sal ek met my "nuwe" trok terug ry huis toe. Ek sal Dinsdag laat weet wat het gebeur. Baie dankie almal.

Jurie, staan die bakkie nie in Lichtenburg nie? Ek vermoed ek het hom daar gesien. Ek gaan more Lichtenburg toe, so as jy wil he ek moet gou gaan kyk vir jou, sal ek so maak.

Why do I think this bakkie has been advertised here before, a while ago? Or am I thinking of another one? I see it has a NW numberplate.

If it's in Klerkies/Stilfontein, I could also go view it for you.

Dit lyk regtig of dit Lichtenburg kan wees, maar ek dink dit is teveel vir die model m2cw

Ja, dit is waar die voertuig staan Riaan. Ek het vir jou 'n pm gestuur met my kontak nommer. Dankie.

Ten minste is dit nie n LR nie, die man het smaak al is dit bietjie oud

:wth: Well I drove all the way to Lichtenburg only to find a vehicle full of rust. I did not even toke it out for a test drive. Even the Procomp suspension look not to bright. And the search continues.

Ek dink jy sal nou luister as ons met jou praat nê Eintlik is ons almal pal's al wys ons so nou en dan tande vir mekaar maar altyd reg om te help party meer as ander maar ons doen. Ons hou die ore op die grond vir n Lux net vir jou ou maat, jy kom immers na die wes-transvaal net vir n lux

This confirms my thoughts that this vehicle has been offered for sale before, and here in Stilfontein. I still thought what a great-looking bakkie, and someone reported back that it was a rust heap. Such a pity.

Tenminste weet jy nou waar is Lichtenburg

Jis, jammer Jumbo. Ek wens ek kon jou die trippie gespaar het. daar in Klerksdorp is so een of twee wat ek al gesien het. Ek gaan more Klerksdorp toe, sal kyk of ek hulle kry, dan kan ek en dalk Eric ook gaan kyk, en ons opinies oordra aan jou.
