New member with GQ diesel for sale

Hi Andy, I am very new - about 10 minutes ago. Have a Nissan (I think GQ?) Dec 1990 model 4.2 L diesel which was my late husband's pride and joy. Reluctantly, need to sell. Not sure how to go about this. Has lots of extra's and has been a most reliable vehicle. Origially SES vehicle southern highlands, we were the third owners having purchased it in 1996. Has taken us around Australia on a 4 year sojourn and never missed a beat. Towed a big van and carried boat and trailer on roof as well. A Workhorse. I have just purchased a Nissan Dualis so this is surplus now to my needs, and I can't really do the maintenance on it any more. Your suggestions re: selling would be most welcome. regards, Katie

Welcome to the forum Katie. I moved your post so it has its own thread.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, my condolences to you.

You will have no trouble selling your Patrol, the 4.2 diesels are a sought after model. The more details you can provide, mileage, extras etc the easier it will be to sell and the better the sale price will be. Photo's definately help, let us know if you need help loading photo's.

G'day Katie.

Can you take some pics of the truck and post them on here? Many of us use photobucket to transfer photo's. 640 x 480 is a great size.

Take care out there.

Hey Katie, Good luck with your sale.

Where abouts are you? i bet there would be someone here that could help you get a good dollar for your GQ. If your in Victoria I'd be happy to come take a look and sort out a list of accessories for you to list in a good add to get the best value.

WARNING! Your GQ is worth Good money if it is in good nick. Being a 4.2 diesel is the premium model and should see you get good $$. Dont give it away. List it well for a good return.

There are a few places to list it and i would be happy to help with some direction so the right people find it.

Depending on what it has on it and how many kms you should get from $8,000 to $13,000 at least! If its real tidy and genuine low kms then even a fair bit more might be possible.

Good luck with your sale and your new life

Regards MR

Welcome to the forum Lisa and Dave. When you get a minute how about popping up an introduction telling us abit about yourself and your Patrol, no harm done. And if you and your husband are sharing the one user name it would be good if you could put your name at the bottom of each post so we know who we're talking to.

I lost my first wife when I was 28, I've since remarried and have 3 kids.

I have just recieved some photo's from Katie, very nice looking Patrol.

12/90 GQ Patrol DX TD42

It has an ARB bull bar with Warn high mount winch, and a Safari snorkel. Otherwise it's been kept close to standard.
Looks like it may have a small patch of rust above the rear window on the RHS and maybe a dent in the RH sill under the drivers door.
I don't know what mileage it has on it but I would think $12,000 would be a reasonable asking price.

Hi Tony, it has 398000 Kms, does have rust also around the front windows (the little small front windows black metal bit) and yes there are spots of rust along the back edge of the bonnet but I think very manageable. We have always (usually) serviced it at about 5000 kms changing filters and using only the highest quality oil. Since purchasing it at 156,000 Kms it has had Pro-Ma DTF fuel Treatment and Pro-Ma MBL 8 oil additive. it has: Snorkel, Extractors, 2.5" Exhaust, Steel Bullbar with High Mount Warn Winch, Towbar, Roof Rack (can send photo), 2 Drawers, Cargo Barrier, Recovery Gear, Dual Batteries, Central Locking, Air conditioning, CD player, UHF Radio, 398,000Kms,New front shocks fitted May 2011,Full Set Workshop Manuals.
The dent was courtesy of the SES who were the original owners. Hope this can spread more light on it's condition. Regards, Kate

Thanks Lisa and Dave - Pete put up a great fight for five years but had a very aggressive form of prostate cancer, so you men out there - don't be shy - go a let some other man (or lady if that's your preference) check out your prostate. He really loved this patrol and looked after it and it served us well, really reluctant to let it go but not practical for me now. Also have a beautiful caravan that Pete finishing building just before he died, it will also have to go - although for our last three trips I did all the towing and it's a dream to tow, not much fun alone. Cheers, Katie

Thanks Kate.

With close to 400,000km on it $10,000 is probably a more reasonable price, but as someone said on here yesterday "it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it". I still think you will have no trouble selling it.

Hi Paul - have sent pics to Tony and he has posted them, Also I have today provided details of the extra etc, tried to call you Thu but will try again. Regards, Katie

Yes, I agree, I initially thought that but have put $8900 on it and that's what I want for it, have been offered $7k but thought that was just too low. Regards, Katie

400,000km just ran in LOL!!
I would put $12,000 on it and be prepard to go down to $10,000.
A nice neat GQ TD42 with the extra's it has is getting hard to find.
