Use your rig for the school... the youngun's out that way should be able to nail a hill start and reverse park in a Ute... traffic lights may be an issue tho

The good thing is that you can actually put 'Never been offroad' on your ad and it wouldn't be a false statement

I want to start up a driving school based in my local town, but willing to travel to make sure the youngins get the skills to drive, not only pass the test! lol

Wishing you the very best in your endeavor mate. Hope your dream comes true.
Hey I may have to book in for a couple of lessons, next time I`m over your way.

We only get one life. If you need to sell your ute to finance a dream - I say do it........... but make the dream a higher priority than getting your asking price. If you can realise your dream a small compromise on selling price will soon be forgotten. I reckon your price suggestion is a good opening gambit but for the reasons ET has mentioned .... be prepared to be flexible. Too many dreams get lost because folk base them on criteria over which they have no control! (Been there done that & learned the lesson - thankfully many years ago).

We agonised over selling our bus a couple of years ago, we'd had it a long time & it was set up as we wanted it, but we needed to sell it in order to 'move on'. Once the decision to sell was made it was like a load off our shoulders, reaching the decision was way harder than following through on that decision. Once we'd decided to sell we priced the bus at what we thought a fair & reasonable price. In hindsight we could have got more, but despite that feel we did the best thing. Waiting & waiting for a sale to happen once you have reached the decision to sell would not have been a nice space to be in. We got what we needed & the buyer got a good buy - win win. Others I knew who were selling a similar vehicle around the same time asked $5k more than us, & after placing all their plans 'on hold' for just over 6 months, dropped their price by $5k & got a sale within 2 weeks.

Good luck with whichever way you go.

Thanks. I'm negotiable. I understand I may have to 'cut my losses'. It's gunna be 'walk in, walk out'.

Ever thought of doing both learner drivers in two wheel drives and learners or advanced in four wheel drives ?

Two different worlds...
"Learners" isn't vocational IE all you need is a Police Check, Medical and Driving Instructor Licence issued by DoT.
"4WD" comes under ASQA IE you need to be a Trainer/Assessor working for/own an RTO, submit to annual audits and hold the Scope for each and every bit of training you deliver.

The latter costs, like 100 times as much, has 100 times as much paperwork and is 100 times harder to get.

Teaching learners how to 4wd would be useless. I never go off road, apparently. Lol, but true. Haha

Go for it, you only live once. Follow your dreams.
