money for old rope

[bushwacker]

hi ya i have been looking for a coil sprung swb fronty of late, i no they are only worth what you are prepared to pay for one, but the ones i have looked at are way over priced, the seller says first will buy ect, but you can see staight away they are not worth the asking price, i dont think i am to fussy as i have had some right sheds but they have been mechanicly sound, its a shame the 2.4s dont sell well because all the ones i have looked at seem to be in good nick, per haps they drink to mutch gas so they dont get used mutch thats my rant for the day ...........pete

All Fronties seem to be a bit overpriced.. except the ones I sell!

Though will be looking for a nice 3.2 soon..

note to self - never become a car dealer, you'll starve!

Maybe just maybe the great unwashed have switched on to the fact that Frontys are pound for pound a good deal. Can carry a family, off road, Tow things. As such it comes down to supply and demand the Shogun "MAY" be a better all rounder but at what price?
You put a similar aged Fronty against a similar aged Shogun and the Shogun is way more expensive same goes for the Trooper and the Daihatsu.

Just my take on the point and is probably wrong but hey , it's a starting point for debate.
Oh and for the record I think the Lada Cossack I had was my best EVER 4x4

Got a fuel cap for a Lada?

Yeah, seems like a good swap.

Ah, the old ones are still the best.

[PaulHooligan]

and theres none much older than you Brian

[brianw]

That's what I like about this group ... such high class insults!

I don't intend to grow old, disgracefully or otherwise!
