Hi Guys, honestly don't know if I should sell my vigo with all the bells and whistles or keep the extras and try and use them on my next vehicle, and for what price without losing too much money.

Option 1.
2006 Hilux 3.0 d4d 160000 km with full service history at the stealers,
full old man emu heavy duty suspension, Arb front bumper, snorkel oh and its the one with the leather seats,
a brand new set of bfg muds and frontrunner roof rails.
The price ???? R195000?
Option 2.
As above but with a aluminium canopy with 4 canopy drawers (this stuff is awesome, one of the best things i've done), a alu minuim table which slides into canopy and a side fold out table and stainless steel working surface on tailgate,
a 80 litre long range tank with 2x 50 watt solar panel slots on top, 2x 50 watt solar panels with stecca controller into a proper circuit breaker box which powers the compressor, 2x engel fridges, outside work light and canopy led's, invertor, water pump and aux outlets. A national luna dual battery system, 2x 55 litre water tanks behind drawer system connected to the water pump with a pressure switch and tap at the rear of the bakkie. 2x gas bottle holders and a 6th wheel(also a bfg mud on a Toyota mag)
A tentco 1.4 rooftop tent, 60 litre engel and a 15 litre engel.
Not sure if I want to sell the following with it as well cause it cost me a small fortune and only been used once.
A fancy stove on a drawer slide that folds out the rear (my nicest feature) and a ostrich wing awning.
It took me 5 years to get it where it is but it wouldn't be fair if no one else can share the pure pleasure this bakkie gave me.
The price, well I think its priceless but suppose in the region of R245 000.

Will post some pics and let me know what you would do.

You will always get more of your outlay back by selling off the extras separately. On the other hand, you might just by some small chance be lucky enough to find a buyer that wants the vehicle with the extras and is prepared to pay a realistically related price. ;-)

Depending on what vehicle you have in mind, you could possibly use the after market accessories, stuff is not cheap and you seldom get what you paid for them.

I bought a Fj cruiser so I can only use the small stuff, maybe I must rather strip the bakkie and sell it as option 1 basically?

Eish, dit lyk soos my bakkie. Nie naastenby soveel ekstras nie, maar dieselfde gedagtes. Dis 'n dilemma. Hoekom wil jy verkoop? Sy is nog nie eers ingeloop nie!

I didn't plan to sell it 2 weeks ago (still can't imagine my life without it :cry: ) but a Fj cruiser crossed my path and now the Fj is standing in my garage so now i need petrol money :D: If i could keep the bakkie i would, its really been a pleasure owning it.

a beauty of a Hilux!! I would have been the guy to gladly give you the R50k for all the extras (If I ever have the heart to sell/ upgrade my IFS). But Ja you will easier get your money back by stripping and selling seperately.

I have also overspend way too much on kitting tha bakkie and know I wont get much back for it... but the kitting out is part of the fun I guess and we all will have to make peace with that. :cry:
