I have owned this Prado for a year an a half and it has never let me down. It goes everywhere I need it to go and it does it in comfort. Engine pulls real strong with no oil use or smoke.
I am selling as I have found a project that a mate and I are heading up so need this gone to free up some space and money.
There is money owing on the Prado and will be payed with the funds of the sale. Buyer to make payment direct to the finance house to zero the finance and then the new owner will get a confirmation letter of no money owing for the vehicle from the finance bank.

Price: $18,000
