First of all let me say what a great site this is, very informative and in most fair comments from all formites.So then to my story past and present.Many years ago I purchased my first 4x4,it was a G60 Patrol which I had for about 7 years and it served me
well,the only repair that had to be done was to replace a rear wheel brake cylinder and a new battery.After all those years it was time to upgrade to a later 4x4 and due to peer pressure (all my mates had one ) I bought a 1983 60 series Landcruiser and what a great truck that was as
well,that was until my son wrote it off in 1997.After the accident I ended up buying a Falcon wagon which I had for about 3 years and traded it in on a VT Commodore wagon in 2000 which I still own.
Right oh right oh I'll get on to the present,I've got the 4x4 bug again so I went for a look around the car yards mainly at 80 series Landcruisers and found a beauty,the thing is I need your advice.Its a 1997 RV model 4.5 petrol, 5 speed gearbox,aluminium bullbar,side steps,sunraiser wheels,air con and has been
well looked after.The best part is that it only has 52,200 klm's on the clock the worst part is the car yard wants $28,999 for it......
well this is wear you guys came in,I need your expertise.So my question is do you think the price is ok seeing it's not a GXL model or is it a bit to high?
Please help me out here as i'ts been 7 years since owning my last 4x4 I'll take all advise.
Thanking you all,
Phil.
