Hilux LN106R

Has the motor been rebuilt , if not would suggest getting Compression test as they are prone to blowing around the 400k. Cheers.

It all comes down to how much you pay for it. They are great 4wds but as the others have pointed out,the klms are getting high.
If the price is ok,it may well be worth taking the risk,but you would have to be sure you could afford an engine rebuild.

Thanks all for the input.

The vehicle asking price is 9000 ono. It is a diesel but the add does not say anything about engine rebuild but has had 2" lift kit and and heavy duty suspension, alloy rims, canopy and the other usual extras.

I am also looking at an original HJ47 that has no rust in cab (which I know they were prone to) and has been looked after. for 7500.

I think the HJ would be the better vehicle just doesnt have the crew cab for those times you have the extra passengers.

$9000.00 ONO, not a chance. I sold mine a '92, back in 2003 with 327k on the clock for 9k, and that took some selling. Was in great cond mechanically and body wise. Still see it on the road regularly. As said 4K would be realistic.
Cheers

Hi,

We had a 1991 LN106R from 2004 to 2011 (sold it a couple of months ago). We sold ours at almost 500000km because it was blowing too much smoke and was likely to need a pump and/or engine rebuild. If it needed an engine rebuild, the rebuild was going to cost $3000+.

If the engine on the one you're looking at is good, maybe offer them $5-6000. If the engine needs work offer them $2-3000.

The hilux is a great 4WD and is really easy to customise. Ours had a 2" lift and 31" tyres and would go anywhere. They're not fast but they're reliable and reasonably economical (average 11 L/100km).

Redbook says the top private sale price is $6500. Is it from a dealer or does it come with lots of good accessories?

Hilux vs Landcruiser... Win/Win really :-)

Thanks Guys for all the constructive feedback.

Decided to stay away from the hilux and look at the Landcruisers, found some good HJ47's. I've had had plenty of dealings with these and feel more confident in the bush with one.

Again thanks to you all for un-confusing the head space.

sold my 95 DC 245000km for $7900, reasonable cond, new head. 1st caller took it about 8 weeks back.
Of any 90s diesel ute the Toyota 4cyl will handle the km as good or better than any others overall.
