Other than the price, which will come down a bit (9-9.5?) what are your thoughts?
I think i can see a little rust on the bonnet, on the underside in the engine pic.. which doesn't matter slightly haha. I was hoping for an ST, But you can't be TOO picky when it comes down to it :p

Looks good n neat, somewhere between 8k n 9k would be alright i rekon

Sh!t, 10,500 for a GQ with 380k's on it. I dunno, you'd have to really want one! I thought half that would pull one up?

[Brendan56]

Not a decent RWC one, that i've found anyway. 9-12 seems the going price at the moment. for 280-400ks

[growler2058]

And it's a td42!!!


Tapp tillya Crap

[GQPorkroll]

Sh!t, I got my GQ TB42 dual fuel with 10yrs date on the gas tank for $1250!

[growler2058]

I got my TD42 with 500,000+ pov pak for $3k but we dont have roadworthys to deal with here

X2. I wouldnt go above 9k. Wjhat sort of driving do ya want to do? Sometimes you pay extra for a neat car (straight, polished, alloy side steps, alloy bar) but if your gonna drive it hard, those things arent worth paying extra for as they wont last long!!

Not hard driving, camping mainly, with some reasonably difficult tracks, and then just going to work and back. I'll change the bullbar and everything, but I still want a great looking, straight car.

Tuff, hey!

I think its too much for it. I looked for a while and bought an old GQ pov pack for 7k but it had heaps of bits already done, like rear air locker, 4" lift, blah blah blah. For 10-11k you should be able to get a turbo diesel GQ in fairly good condition. I saw a few from victoria and it doesn't cost much to get them sent up or just go and drive it up.
