It looks to be in very good condition from what you can see of it. It may have very low kms as
well in which case it would
well be worth a look.
Maybe was in a farmers shed for 20 years or so?

Well its an 11 seater, so $18990 devided by 11 seats works out to $1726.36 a
seat.
And remember its a TOYOTA, good resale value. :-)

I dont care what anyone says, no way is it worth that much money.
Unless its sitting on 200 series running gear and chassis.

G`day Muntoo,
If it was "sitting on 200 series running gear and chassis" it would worth far less and be dead and buried long before this one is.
It looks like a HJ47, if so it will outlast any 200 series for off-road travel.
I know which one I would prefer to go bush in.
Just MHO,
Scrubby.

What Scrubby said.
200 series are way overated and a step backwards from the 100s, IMHO

I would say even at that price it would not cover the cost of building it
I love it, some people just want to do things without worrying about the practicallities of doing so, and I would think it would be one reliable vehicle.
People spend up to and over 100,000 on a new 4by and see it depreciate by many thousands of dollars as soon as they drive it out the door.
I appreciate any body that does anything outside the norm, there is getting to be too much sameness in this increasingly crazy world.
all the best Warren.

Hi Michael,
Sorry mate , bit quick getting on the soapbox, sometimes written humour doesnt come across too well.
Must say though I agree wholeheartedly on your health and happiness sentiments.
All the best Warren.

i know exactly where that vehicle is, because i saw it in the yard as i drove past the other week and saw that price and thought holy @#$%.
i am tempted to stop at the yard (as it's close to
home) and see what it looks like close up and inside aswell as what's under the bonnet out of curiosity.
