Testing the Waters: Selling my 100

Considering selling my Land Cruiser. Would anyone on here be interested?



1998 (S reg), 193K, 4.2 diesel, auto, recent service and work (new starter motor etc), good underneath (Krown treated), clean in and out, short tax and MoT. Sold with Front Runner rack but without awning and boxes. Based Sheffield.

Good price to forum member before I list it elsewhere. PMs please.

 

Could you please post a few more details (apologies if this info can be found elsewhere on the forum), such as Diesel /Petrol, auto/manual etc. Some interior pics would be great too.

Thanks

 

Good point - edited now. I will do a proper write up soon - just putting the feelers out for now.

 

Are you leaving us Jacob? or moving up?

 

Not sure Andy. Lots going on and just weighing up my options. If I do end up selling it it will only be until I can get another one on the road.

 

did you know you cannot transfer any tax, even if it was 12 months you would lose it as soon as sold

 

Yeah I know. Force of habit.

 

You get a refund in the post from the dvla

 

upgrading to an 80 Jacob?

Never say never.

 

I imagine it would be out my budget but my X5 is advertised at the moment and im wanting to come back to a Landcruiser ot Hilux of some sort

 

Ive seen so many people sell Jacob and struggle to find as good as they had previously.

Works of wisdom. Keep it

 

Also, any post that starts with "Testing the water..." earns an instant ban on many forums. Its for sale, or its not...

 

That’s the reason I’m not on Facebook or any other forums. I trust the members on here to differentiate between a classified ad and an offer of first refusal and a fair price between friends and acquaintances if my circumstances end up forcing a sale.

 

Im with @karl webster on this one mate.. That's a great truck and it would be a shame to lose it. I hope your circumstances change enough to allow you to keep it!

 

I hope my circumstances change so I can buy it!!!

Not much chance of that though

 

Thanks everyone. It’s not necessarily all bad news - I just need a large van more than a large 4x4 at the moment.

 

Box trailer? Something like this.

Cost about the same as a used van, very versatile and hold their value well. Can be left while you go off in the truck if need be.
Downside, you’re towing. Very nickable unless well locked up.

 

I’ve had a look at a couple Rich and I’d really like one but they’re just not big enough for my needs and the fuel bill would be horrendous ...
