I want a GU 42 by Christmas 2022! - Options and discussions on buying a used GU TD42

[taslucas]

Seems top stuff. Have you checked it already? Is the price appropriate?

No, I haven't seen it in person yet. If the ad is honest then the price is good

Well, Christmas has come and gone... No gu yet but the dream is still alive! I just happen to keep finding things to do to my house before taking the plunge. Suspected clutch failure on the nav so that's getting fixed up first. Not a huge amount of td42s on the Tassie market but the prices continue to calm down. Soon...soon ...

I'll just edit the heading!

It won't rhyme though... Oh no 63 rhymes with 2023!!

Yo!
So I need some help understanding the series years and features.
Which years are series 1,2,3 etc?
Do 98 ST's have elec windows?
Which year did dx's start coming with electric windows and central locking?

The best way would be to read up on the models with Redbook.
There is an article about buying a used model 1988-2010 https://www.redbook.com.au/editorial...88-2010-22866/

And searching the GU TD42 variants from 1998 - 2006 to see the difference between models.

Series 1 to 3 are the first shape, I suppose you call it. The headlights and indicators are separate, from series 4 on they are one piece. Larger tail lights on the 4 an on, different dash, larger flares on the 4 an on.

AFAIK, all ST's have electric windows, and no DX's had them, or central locking.
