Blown Surf Value

[M8WHR]

As some of you know my surf is blown up. Was planning on putting the v8 in but the mechanic has taken too long and it still isn't started.

With me being a self employed farmer I need the 4wd when the bad weather comes so thinking about selling both the surf and the lexus to buy another running diesel surf.

What should I ask for the surf? I need 700 for the lexus as it comes with a genuine water pump and timing belt kit.

Ask for money, you can do things with that.

I'm surprised it's took this long to get a smart remark.. My post is basically an invitation for them..

Thanks for the advice... I will bear that invaluable information in mind..

Well, you have come to the right place for smart answers.
You are lucky the grammar police appear to be on some form of sabbatical.


Some details of the vehicle you are selling might have been helpful, for instance is it taxed?
Would you be willing to swap them for a running truck?
You might find that someone would be interested in taking the both the Surf and the Lexus?
What would you want for both of them?

Money is good.
Ho's and bitches can be troublesome.

To be honest I can't remember. It's been off the road since August. Think its mot'd till April, tax could be out next month. The last mot passed with advisories on the front ball joints. Truck is by no way mint, it has been used properly, and is part of the dirty club. It currently has 2 brand new General Grabber AT's on which I would keep, but I will find a set of wheels and tyres to send it off with.

It's a 95 3.0 auto. Lots of receipts for it.


Would be good to swap both for a running motor, but if I am selling obviously the people on here would have first shout.

IMO I would say that £700 for the Lexus may be a bit steep.
And scarily enough not much, if any more for the Surf
Sorry

I have a 3.0 1kz with all the ancilleries you can have for £400. (100k miles recent glow plugs etc from my 3rd gen)

I'll chuck in the loom (almost complete) and ECU too if you like.

Cheers for the offer Karma. Decided to just push the mechanic harder and do more myself. Got the engine just about ready to lift out the hilux yesterday.

I'd just regret it if I didn't do it or worse.. Sell the surf.

Shokenore I will thank you one day for your "short arm with deep pockets" valuations. You have pushed me to keep building. dozey:

If you want a real idea of what it's worth you need to ask Yoshie as he has significant experience in valuing Surfs
