Thanks for the link Cuppa, I forgot that I am a member on here, havn't visited for a couple of years. Happy to email photos to anyone that wants them. and NO CLunk it is not used and abused, and in a sorry state, there's not a rattle or a clunk in it anywhere, its all tight as a drum. Only thing that I have to look at is the front seat belts, the usual slow retract that these get after a few years, mainly from friction through the slides holding them back. Some RW examiners get a bit pedantic if they don't cut your neck when they let them go.
True market value on 4wd's doesn't equate to a lot in my opinion. Well pretty much on any vehicle that has a ton of mods. I think its a little too cheap. Maybe because of a little jealousy has affect my rash thoughts, lol. But if Rosiebear is happy with the set price. Then who are we to argue?
If there was pics up in the listing rather than requesting them, I reckon it would go a hell of a lot faster than it probably will. As some people browsing for a car would just skip over this and onto the next add that has pics I would think. Maybe not. Just from experience in selling things myself, and the lazy world we have become in online lounge shopping, its too easy just to click "next" when there is no pics or really bad pics. Or is that just me when I'm sitting on the couch, having a beer and doing some window shopping? Lol.
Good luck in the sale.
P.s
Can you post up a pic here please? I'd love to see it.
Here’s a couple of pics Rosiebear emailed me. Contact him if you want more. NB. I blocked the rego number.

Just for those too lazy to follow the link I posted earlier, & because I reckon this car is worth consideration if you’re in the market I’ll post the ad from the other forum below. Note that I have no connection to the car or the seller other than being on the same forum. I’ve never previously even had any direct contact with the seller on that forum. This is my last post on the matter.

You could be lucky and buy my white 2000 patrol 4.2Turbo diesel, 5 SPEED, 7 seater, 384,000Kms, will go anywhere, 2" lift suspension, Safari tuff Clutch, 18 mths old, flywheel just been reground during engine rebuild. Professional Engine rebuild by Wynnum engine reconditions, HD adjustable shockies, adjustable airbags in rear springs, New engine, complete rebuild, brand new factory turbo block and turbo head, New pistons liners and wrist pins, professionally rebuilt fuel pump tuned for more torque and power, brand new injectors, new radiator and air con condenser, air con evap been removed and fully cleaned and whilst engine was out, after market turbo, genuine full length roof rack, weather shields, mesh sunvisor, new windscreen, alloy bull bar, tyres 8/10 all nitrogen filled, offset king pin bearing kit fitted. egt boost, volts, and amp and temp gauges, 7" in dash radio/gps, rooftop DVD screen, needs to be connected to headunit ( no kids now so never bothered). Back load area has a ply floor and drawer, been set up with fridge slide, and battery lockdown for a 100 AH gel battery for the a fridge/freezer. Hella Rally 4000 spot and driving lights ( 1 of each) Never ever been on a beach, but drove past one down the coast once, Never ever been off road, Vehicle was set up specifically to tow our Van, but we have gone up a bit in weight with the new Bushtracker, so we bought an Iveco.
You would save yourself about 33 or 34 grand, on a new vehicle that will not tow anywhere near as well. That buys a lot of fuel and extras for your van.
The ply load floor was removed so the rear seats could be refitted for roadworthy because its registered as a 7 seater. Reg till December 2015. Engine rebuilt because a coolant hose dropped off the back of the turbo during the return leg of our last trip to Townsville last Easter, and cooked the block, #'s1,2,3 liners and block cracked. cracking around valve seats, so new genuine factory block and head, and complete rebuild kit, all up cost a tad under 10K.
ASKING FOR 17k NEG OR NEAR OFFER. Vehicle is in Brisbane, inspection/test drive by appointment Photos by email. Bear A t Rosiebear.net. contact 0417 007298
