Sounds good - lots of good kit.
How much were you thinking of posting it up for?
Its been said before that "its worth as much someone is willing to pay for it" so it's reliant on presentation and marketing. People will look at the odometer and age for sure but if it looks nice and shiny that doesn't count for much. If they can see its been well maintained they will part with much more money than they otherwise would.
Well worth giving it a full clean and detail - engine bay included. I used to work in a car detailing shop with the main customers being car sales yards so picked up a few tricks to enhance vehicle appeal.
(You may not be able to polish a turd but you sure can paint it gold and spray it with air-freshener )

One trick is to buy a can of satin black paint and re-coat all the wheel arches and chassis rail you can see.
Another tip - always remove your personal junk from the car when someone is inspecting it - they want a clean slate so they can envisage how they will use it themselves... talk about what how they want to use it, where they will go etc.
If you cant be bothered doing a full detail (should take one person a full day inside and out) take it to auto-detailer. It may cost over $500 but can bring in an extra 2-3K when sold.

How much are you looking to get?

[amitch888]

I don't want to be rude or insulting but if it was mine and I wanted it gone I wouldn't be looking to get much more then 22k. Regardless of extras it's still 8 yrs old and 242,000kms. If your up for the work you could always pull a lot of stuff off and sell it and probably still get similar money.

Is their value in selling and buying another 4x4?

[Steve9R]

How much are you looking to get?

he's got it online for 30k..

I dont like your chances.. esp with > 240k & being an SR..

to give you an idea. a 2006 Sr5 dual cab STOCK with 150k market value is $27.5k

accessories are worth bugger all really second hand, you'll never re-coup their costs.

extra cab, >240k, SR, maybe 20k-25k ? just my thoughts.

Steve

[white_hilux]

thanks for the feedback guys. It is very helpful. I understand what you are saying but I was being hopeful of what I could get. If I could only get less that 25K I'm not sure that there is much point selling it and starting again with another 4wd

[Aquaholics]

I'm in the same boat Ben. Mine has been on the market for about 4 months now and only one person (a forum member) has called and looked at it. Not one other caller apart from the local car wholesalers wanting to auction it for me.

I asked the opinion of the forum what I could expect to get for my car and as much as I don't want to listen it's only worth what all the other stock standard hilux's are with similar KM, maybe a few grand more. I find it hard to justify to myself that 16k worth of extra's is worth nothing but that's the only reason I can see for the lack of inquiries on my car.

Good luck with your sale, the low (zero) price placed on accessories has me currently rethinking selling.

[jaybags]

I agree with Mitch, you'll prob be better off getting the car back to stock. If you were going to upgrade to another 4x4, couldn't you re-use some of your extras? Spotties, winch, compressor, sliders are all things you could easily remove and in some cases (like the sliders), replace with stock items. Would save you a little doing up the next car.

A lot will also be going through just the listing results, will see an 06 SR with 240k for $30k and scroll straight past it without thinking twice about looking why it's listed more or what extras it has.

Really comes down to being an expensive hobby.
