    Default New Ute

    Hey guys, I know this should be in the for sale / buy section but I thought I would get more views here.
    If you need to move it then move it.

    I'm in Perth and I'm looking for a manual ute, dont care what model aslong as its in good condition, I'm looking to spend up to $8000.
    Can someone please help me?
    I've looked in trading post and called about 3 of them, all are sold.
    Cheers.
    Andrew

    Don't like your chances or much more than a VS for that price range! And that would be a high k one in white.

    just aslong as it runs well, my plans are to drop an 8 in there soon enough, so just aslong as its reliable..

    There was a Devil yellow VP Ute with a V6/manual in it, was in the trader for ages at 6k. Might be worth a look on there and flying here and driving back?

    Interiors allright, just faded a bit, seats are all kind of..mashed in like..the fibre has started becoming flat and 1 surface if you get me??
    But that would be from 31 years of people sitting in it.
    other than that it just needs a vacuum :P

    yer, I wasnt too fond of the rims, I was thinking about putting some old style ones on, or if you have a better idea?

    $6300.
    before you say that was overpriced you should have seen the list of things hes done..
    it used to be a well body, now its a trayback, a few mods here and there to the engine, the wheels obviously and a few others..

    i reckon 6300 is a pretty good buy. Its clean and straight, couldnt of asked for much else... wheels are horrid though. Get some fr19's when you got a spare 4k laying around...

    I never realised you were looking at non commodore utes aswell!

    Tonners hold their value way too well. Still work upwards of 10k if they have a tipper.
