Found Great buy 91 GLX HJ80 1HZ

I had been looking for a Old 4WD for under $10000. Geese is there some rubbish out there commanding unreasonable money. I tested some 250k plus Nissan Patrols. Not impressed The 2.8 turbo would have to be the slowest thing I have ever driven.

Anyway I stumbled on this HJ80 just traded to a Dealer not even detailed. Very high Ks in fact 470,000 of them. The dealer said it drove ok and wanted $9000 for it. I thinks to myself with that many Ks it sure to be stuffed. Wrong. oh so very very wrong.

Turns out the vehicle was a one owner serviced every 5000 by Toyota, had 4 Brand new FB Goodrich AT Tyres. Roof Racks, Air. Dual Battery, Bull bar, Lift Kit, all the normal stuff and original log books. I am a Automotive engineer by trade and I could not fault this thing with the exception of the clear coat on the roof starting to deteriorate.

Haggled with the Dealer and I am now the proud owner of a HJ80 with 470,000km on the clock and I am sure if some one had altered the speedo to 150,000 none would know the difference. By the way I got it for $7000. Just goes to show if you look after a vehicle it will keep on keeping on.

Cheers
