Newbie going to view a Hilux

[batesy16]

Ok i am new to the the Toyota Hilux. and i am going to look at purchasing one tomorrow.

it is a 96 plate and done 128k miles, looks in great condition, so am already very tempted by the prosepect of the vehicle.

I have read thread on what is ssrx etc, but the advert doesnt say what it is, is there anyway i can find this out.

it is a 3.0ltr automatic if this helps.

what are the main things i should be looking out for to know it is a good one, and not something duff, i read the thread on buyinmg onem but just wondered if there was anything else i should be looking for.

Anyway if anyone can give me a hand then this wopuld be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

Looks like we all missed this thread, bit late to advise you now as you were looking at it yesterday but you say you went through the buying threads so how did you get on, if you got what do you think of it?
Welcome to the forum by the way.

Welcome, it sometimes takes a while for first posts to come through. The FAQ on this site is good, and there's a good list of things to look for in the FAQ on the site in my sig.

It doesn't really matter what model it is, to be honest. Pretty much every option was available on every model so it doesn't make much odds. If you are interested, though, look on the VIN plate and you can decode it here:
