howdy,
trying to figure out how to put a price on my ex mines gu wagon.
its a 2002 gu dx with 48000 kms 4.2 turbo
had new 2pak paint new 285/75/16 mickey mtrs on new black sunnies with 2 in lift
pretty much all bushes replaced, new steering, suspension and brake components rebuilt or replaced
has exhaust brakes.
im hoping some one has experience with these types of vehicles or can help put a price on it or an offer. thanks for any help
ive had a few inquiries about kms its 48000 not 480000 and wasnt a typo, cheers
My folks top of the range push button electronic whiz bang leather etc 2006 td42t 116,000k went for around $42k
Only 48k and a mines 4wd wow musn't have done much driving in it lol.. What's the go with the exhaust brakes?.. I paid 42 grand for mine with 95,000 on it. ST-L 4.2 2003
paid 40k for my 2009 4.8L ST which was stock except for a dual battery kit
ex mine vehicles never have a lot of k's they only get driven short distances around a mine site but most of these k's are hard. With those k's and that motor i would say 30-33k
.... and it's a very nice trol too, I sleep with it under my pillowQuote:

But assuming it's free of rust, for me it would boil down to what I'd be willing to accept for it. It's age & only 48K km puts it at both ends of the specturm for pricing - maybe start high & drop your price progressively if time is on your side. It's a DX with no fruit, so maybe low 30's?
Glad you're enjoying it. Twas to be my inheritence DOH hahahhahahahhaQuote:

sorry mate miss read you question, its because of the steep gradiant of the roads, to save the brake pads wearing out so quicklyQuote:

Your inheritence is getting a face lift - cargo barrier, drawers & Kaymar bar fitted yesterday & today, ARB winch bar, warn winch, side rails, rock sliders, new suspension & lift, loom & dual battery wiring upgrade, spoties, 33" rubber & a few other things in the hopper....
nice one warey, I see you mentioned it was ex-mines in your add, hope it sells quickly for you
i figure honesty is the best policy in this case, the low price would draw suspecion anyway
