A rolled Prado is worth scrapping that is all.
Or maybe an anchor for a boat mooring!!
Anyone with one will realise the old joke. What is the happiest day in your life? The day I gave my Prado away!
I read an article in a 4WD Club Magazine recently about Prados and it said you need to do a hell of alot to a Prado just to get it bo work like a stock Land Rover.
Hence the only place for a rolled Prado is recycle so they can melt the scrap and make a land rover out of it!!

if i pulled it apart for parts would i be asking to much at these prices.

=1kz motor ect- 1500
=front diff assembly - 800
=rear diff assembly - 800
= rear seats (both back rows) - 200
= front seats(150)

honest answers would be good lol :lol:

and stuff your land rover where.....................

..(you know the ryme :twisted:

I'm with skid. I saw a single cab hilux (late model admittedly) sell at turners auctions for 7k. It looked like it had been used at a stunt training school where the pupils had all failed! it was knackered. :shock:

doubt youd get that much for the seats. then again the we ones in the back could be worth abit.

Manual or auto? Does the engine still run? 1kzs had a change about 94 or 95 which saw the power and torque increase. That'll affect realisable value.

Assuming the vehicle still runs well and is a manual, I'd advertise the motor and gearbox including driveshafts together to suit repower. Have you priced a clutch for these lately? Big coin I believe, or at least the van's clutches are.

Same with the diffs, offer them as a pair to suit custom build or the likes of a suzuki upgrade, might pay to include some steering components.

I was offered a 1kz and gearbox for $2200 in January when replacing the 3L in an LN106 Hilux, but spent too long scratching my arse thinking about it and missed out.

I'd ask $3000 minimum for the engine, gearbox, driveshafts package and not be afraid to separate or accept a reasonable offer for a quick sale.

A commercial buyer with a company van that has a bung engine may buy the 1kz.

When I stripped out a vehivle, I found it very hard to sell the seats. It was something I thought might have been easy but no.

Its all the little things like an electric window moter, indicator stalks etc is where the money can be made.

Cheers,

they may be more stable on hill (wider) but as you found at the waimak- they are useless in ruts....and at the waipara you found they are useless in water.... so basically useless all round :lol:

got any pics... I'd say the motor would sell like a hot cake at $2500 on TM.. especially if you can get some service history. I would suggest spending $150 and get a leakdown and compression test done before you take it to bits... would make the motor worth more..
