Link doesn't work but if it's true he has overcapitalised just a bit , as for what my 4wd owes me , with the cost of the car repairs to the head and mods I suppose I could get to maybe 20 thou maybe .

[Touses]

Currently owes me ulcers and an alcohol addiction!

Tell him, he's dreamin'.

I think ive seen that a few times. It's up the road from me. Saw it at JPC once too from memory.
For something thats apparently had 130k (which i think is bullshit) spent on, you reckon you would have put a bit more effort in creating a decent advertisement? lol See spelling mistakes.
Regardless, it'll sell quick at that price.

Mine owes me nothing, I have spent a bit on it but it has re-payed me with countless trouble free trips both on and off the road.

[macca]

Can't tell you. If I did and she found out and she will, my life will be over.

What will happen next is I will be resuscitated so my life can be over again......

Re. the original post, 130K is a big number for that and noticed no road worthy. Is that because it wont pass without engineering as it is has to in NSW.

Fingers crossed for you buddy.

[DX grunt]

Where do I start? lol.

I've actually kept most receipts from original purchase. I paid 26k and it had 180k on the clock. The near future service is for 330k.

I've been a desk jock all my life and just pay to have things done, but actually wash and vacuum it all by myself. lol

The spray on mud is quite difficult to remove. lol.

[Hodge]

Ok.....
This Patrol. Paid 35 for it 2015. 2005 TD42ti. Got it at 93,000. Now it's just under 110,000 ODO.
Since then...
Bull bar, 2" OME kit, Tower braces, 33" P3's + steel rims, roof rack, awning, Cross country intercooler, 3" exhaust, JPC water pump, , Runva winch, dual battery setup, Draws, UHF, Sliders, Stereo. As it sits now, probably cost just over $50k.

Tell me more about the GQ .

[NissanGQ4.2]

I think my GQ owes me a GU right about now!

[GQtdauto]

Mine owes me its life and it's pushing its luck .

[mudski]

Currently owes me ulcers and an alcohol addiction!

Amen to that brother! Although I have kept every receipt for my Patrol. I dare not count them up. Nice rig but. I reckon its almost worth it. I'd rather spent 50k on that than a new LUX or similar.

Dont even get me started on this one, The first Patrol I had was a '96 GQ EFI and was riddled with all sorts of engine problems, got it for $8K, must have spent $10K+ getting it roadworthy and useable, and got rid of it for next to nothing. I have a '98 GU Diesel now, much better condition, still have oil pressure issues with the RD28 engine, but apart from that all good - should have went Diesel from day 1.

[stevemc181]

Bought mine brand new in January this year, cost was 60k drive away for the legend pack, (Sat-Nav,Warn Winch,Towbar,Bullbar,Roofrack) I've spent a bit over 10k on it since. No doubt I'll spend a fair bit more as the years progress, but I look at it as my hobby. If I'm not off on a trip in it, I'm modding or doing something to the Patrol or I'm at work!

[Arfa Brayne]

Wow - you guys spend a motza.

First GQ Auto tb42 cost $12k in 1998 (1990 model) with 125,000 on the clock. Sold it in 2013 with 320,000km for $7k. Spent $370 on it in 15 years (cracked fan and leaky fuel pump) excluding tyres, oil, filters & basic home maintenance.

2nd GQ Man TB42e bought 12 months ago for $3k with 240,000 on it. Cracked fan (again) was $45 and efi fuel pump (stuffed) $95. Welch plugs, heater hoses & tees apx$50.

The Mitsubishi Delica I owned from 2009 to 2016 cost $18k with 95,000km and I sold it for $6k with 155,000km and a years rego after spending over $7 grand on parts alone (I'm an ex-mechanic) Biggest heap of sh!t I've ever owned in my entire life.
