Hi gents,
Am still looking for a good Rangie but wife has 'suggested' four doors as we now have a wee one on the way, so for eases sake I'm now looking at this:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 405135.htm
Has anyone had a look at it? Looks fairly tidy to me, would haggle the price though.
If I get it, are there any guys nearby in Taranaki for some banter/offroading/help?
Cheers in advance,
Hugo.

Theres a couple of clubs up that way.....and Bob (moriarty) is in Wanganui....
What diffs does it have in them? the ones that like to go bang?

Thanks for the replies guys, but am definitely looking for a Rangie. Won't be doing anything super strenuous so diffs should be ok.

If youre going to use this for a daily driver too....you will need to buy some shares in Mobil as these scoff the juice& its done a resonably high milage..126148 Miles....almost 200,000 km...so make sure the motor is ok.

Thanks for the replies. Yep, mileage is getting to that stage where a new cam/lifters etc would be on the cards. Depends a lot on what regularity the oil changes have been done!
Will go and have a look and report back. Cheers gents.

Is it just me or is that thing fast?
'126148, MPH'.
Dang.
Yes, yes I know, typo.
But it seems all car sales people make not good engrish.

They are a bit more bang proof. It will probably have a 24 spline rear. Depending on how you drive will determine if you break the diff or not. To me, it isnt worth $5000, more like 3 or 4.

Well, gutted. It sat there on trademe for months and then when I get the cash together to go look at it, it goes and sells.
Sold on Sunday.
GUTTED!!!!!!!!
Back to the drawing board.......

I went for a look myself. There are better examples around for less money, so you probably did ok.

Thanks Elterelo,
Price was a bit steep but it looked very tidy. Did you see anything wrong with it?
