Buying hilux on a budget.

Postby beanos223 on Tue, 07 Apr 2020 3:21 +0000

G'day, I'm new to this forum. I've been saving up for a while to buy myself a Hilux. I've always been a toyota fan, my dad has an 80 series and ive grown up going on long trips in it. I've been looking at a few different options, some are just outside of my price range (7500) some are a little under. I'll post the CarJam report link and the TradeMe link. I would appreciate some advice on which of these you guys think would be best value for money. This will also be my first car, as i haven't got my license yet. I'm looking for a clean almost stock hilux but its hard to find them for so cheap! I'm going to be turning this into a bit of a touring/offroading rig.

You might not want to hear this, but I was similarly inclined at that age. My best suggestion is to buy a cheap corolla (for around $500) and after your nuts have dropped,then get the ultimate goal. This will also mean you'll have more time to save for a better vehicle.

Unfortunately mate Rob is right
For $7500 all you are going to buy is a lot of pain
Someone else's headache that they are trying to offload
If your not prepared to stand behind our Troops
Then try standing in front of them
