Presented in 'rough, but reliable' condition, my old workhorse is now surplus to requirement and is looking for a new home.
I bought her to move house and lug renovation materials about the place - that work is now substantially done.
Recently she's been demoted to 'commuter'.
She hates it.
She prefers to work.
I've had her for ten years and the only time she ever let me down was last year when the gearbox went.
When I asked my mechanic if it was worth repairing her, he looked at me as if I was mad and said:
'It's a Hilux - you've only just run it in!'
Hence I had the gearbox reconditioned.
She's one of the last of the New Zealand assembled Hiluxes, so that's a piece of history.
No major rust - just the mandatory surface stuff around scuffs.
Rear passenger side door is in primer - had to replace it for a warrant a couple of years ago. Window seals failed at some point in it's history and that door eventually rotted out at the bottom.
No major dings - just the usual war wounds of a twenty year old ute who has worked for living.
Like I said - rough, but reliable.
She's been in daily use, regularly serviced, is cheap to run and starts first time every time.
You should take a test drive today.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
