In intend to avoid the next few NZ winters by touring Outback OZ. my intentions are to buy a Landcruiser C/C to put a tray-top on. I have contacted various dealers from
Brisbane Airport to
Toowoomba by email and am still waiting for a reply.
I have owned Landcruisers since I bought a new 3 speed a while ago so no need for other than Landcruiser replies\ no Towny! trucks.
Can any one put me onto a dealer in this general area that I would at least get a reply from .
Cheers
Russ

HI Russnic,
Also look on:
www.carpoint.com.au
A lot of dealers advertise on here as
well.
You can fine tune your search to specify Queensland, year , model etc you are looking for.
You will probably find 20 to 30 c/c at any time on here for sale.
Includes private sales as
well.
Hope you find what you want,
Cheers,
Glen

Russ, it will be very difficult to get a new one. I'm looking at ordering one at the moment. Local dealer said if I order this week, I may have it by August, but it could be longer. One arrived in their yard yesterday that was ordered in May last year.
As a result second had ones (even the older 4.2TDs) are very expensive. Was planning on getting a 2004 to 2006 4.2 TD, but good ones are only $10,000 to $18,000 or so less than new. I'm not in a rush so decided it was worth the extra $ and wait to buy new.
But you might be lucky if you contact a few dealers. There might be a canceled order somewhere.
