Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to get my first GQ patrol (Dad used to have an MY05 4.2TD ST-L) and I have no idea where to start and dad isn't being much help (He got me a super cheap 3-door hatchback as my first car and has decided that anything else is bad).

So I thought that I might make this thread and post up links to GQ's for sale in the Perth area and if some of you could give me your opinions that would be awesome. I have a budget of about $11k max, the lower I can get the car the more upgrades I can get done straight away (obviously haha).

I'm pretty well mechanically minded and dont mind getting covered in a bit of oil and dirt and I also know my electrics pretty well. I just don't know what things to look out for. I've searched the forums a bit and found a few lists of things to look out for so already.

Cheers,
Matt
