Its 3.3 Diesel non turbo 240kms LWB no winch completely standard but in a tidy condition no rust reg/wof + ruc's upto date.
They dont know what its worth and are looking to sell
my thoughts are around the $1,500 - $2,000 mark but could be way out.
Any help so I could pass it back to them would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Ray

, my thoughts would be closer to the $2500-3000 {EDIT AT CURRENT WHANGAREI PRICES} mark even without the turbo if it's a really tidy one with no rust in the firewall, if theres no rust in the firewall it prob worth $15000
all $2500 gets you that Zook up on Maunu road with a 4 month Expired WOF and near bald tires.
I dont think Ive seen any 4wd's in whangarei with WOF and REG for under $2000, Hell I know a guy who would snap it up at that price
.. I paid just over 4 for my 1988 LWB in tidy condition with PTO, snorkel and 2 inch lift, new wof and 10 000km Ruc

dude these dont rust in the firewall so no point looking there but as for price to be realistic they worth 1000 to 3500 tops but being a non turbo id say 2000 at the most they have a bullet proof engine hold ya foot flat all day long they love it, pull anything ya want only wont ever be at speed but who cares.... the only issue is the little horse shoe waterpump hose next to the powersteer bracket wears out id suggest get a new one waiting to go in....

Slightly different, but I just sold my '88 single cab 2.7 non turb Navara for $2k. With new reg and WOF. It was a rough pig to be honest, inside and out.
But, a LEGAL 4x4 is ALWAYS sought after. Be it for a 4x4 newbie, or the bro growing dope in the mountains, 4x4s hold their value.

Sweet cheers for that I will pass it on and see what they want to do. Haha if its cheap enough I might buy it for a tow vehicle (Bighorn is tooooo thirsty to run around at the moment so if I can tow it and use less diesel then thats all good).
Cheers
