Fair play mate, but last I looked the same two guys had it up to 2.5k, you should have bit has hand off and used the money to buy a 3rd gen 3.0ltr.
2.4s in great condition normaly make 1.5k on a very good day.
i ended it on £2550 with 13 hrs to go and 227 watchers... your right, i could have sold it for a Gen 3 but it wouldnt have had the big tyres & alloys, lift kit, winch, snorkal, bullbars or light bar on it for that kind of money and i dont like them much unless they look aggressive so rather than mess on hunting down a decent newer one then spending a fortune on after market bits to get it lookin similar to my gen 2 id honestly rather have kept mine as it looks just the way i want it. Plus i couldnt be without a car for longer than a couple of days coz iv got my own buisness and do a lot of callout work so need a motor at all times. The only reason i was selling mine to start with was the fuel consumption problem but that does seem to have corrected itself quite a bit so im happy to hang onto it for a while and get it looking pretty!
You should wear your scratches like a badge of honour
well i dont mind so much the sides but i definately need something for the bonnet as the previous owner pulled a massive sticker off and took half the laquer off along with it so it looks a right mess at the minute!

You know this is the HILUX Surf owners forum, don't you?
I ended the auction and decided to keep it... the only reason i was selling it was because it seemed to be drinking diesel but i think it was because the fella i got it off was running it on veg oil or biodiesel. i got just over 100km to nearly a full tank of diesel first fill up i did, now im getting more than double that so im guessing its been flushed through now... im pleased i can afford to run it now coz i love it!
Surely ya didn't purchase it for it's Mpg efficiency !!

I didnt purchase it, i done a deal for it for a car worth less than half its value coz i dont think the fella knew what he had... anyway like i said the fuel issue has sorted itself out now, im happy with it...
doesnt matter mate animal graphics are for any 4x4 and the l200 is a similar size to the surf
LOL, it does matter, the Animal brand sponser a spec of Misti, it'd be like have a big green oval on the bonnet of your truck, or buying a Iphone and having HTC stickers on.
You WILL be laughed at...
