My Hilux 3.0 for sale.... total stunner and a good deal

[adrian]

Hi all,

Just wanted to give anyone who's interested the heads-up that I added my gorgeous Hilux 3.0 Intimidator to carzone.ie last night.

Full spec and high res images at http://www.healthforce.ie/hilux

It's priced to sell to be honest and someone will get one hell of a deal.

Good luck with the sale...

The more pics, the better if you ask me! Hope you shift it soon Adrian.

Cheers lads. I dunno why carzone is saying 57 pics actually... I only have about 20. I agree with CJ.. if I was buying a car, especially a pimped out one like this, I would want to see looaddsss of pics.

Best of luck with the sale.

wow. thats seriously hi-spec and seriously clean. If I was in the market for one, that would be all you could hope for. Hope it goes well.

I'll ask the obvious question. What's next Adrian?

[adrian]

hey Mustang. What's next? Well, it'll be the family car so we are looking at something like a 2005 Grand Cherokee 2.7. Love the look of them and all. but, at the moment... undecided!

I'd change advert to include VAT. This really pisses people off when they see a list of Jeeps, one seems cheaper, they look at at and then see "plus VAT"

Good - luck with the sale!

Hard to sell a car/jeep of that price private!
As many pic's as possible was the right way to go!

[colm_mcm]

The shine has kinda gone off Hiluxes now that 3.0 models are readily availible through Toyota dealers. Hopefully the gigantic spec will help.

Why is that? I am not being smart... genuinely wondering why someone with circa 29k ex vat to spend would go to a dealer to spend alot more on alot less.

I kinda disagree... most people looking at this advert will be VAT registered (it's a commercial) and the EX VAT price is the price they will get it for.

Agree with you Adrian... it is a commercial after all...

I love Hiluxes... have to say your's looks to be a cracker... good luck with the sale!

I sell Toyotas for a living and because of that know a good number of people with Hilux's both European spec and Vigo models.
Anyone putting it through a business is more likely to buy a brand new 08 reg 3.0 for 2 grand more and get a 3 year warranty. (Vigos aren't covered by Toyotas warranty)
A good number of Hilux double cab models are sold to people without VAT numbers.

Most pickups and commercial jeeps on Carzone are advertised with VAT.
I just think it confuses people when an ex VAT price is advertised.

[adrian]

See your point Colm.

a brand new 08 reg 3.0 for 2 grand more

With the options list on mine compared to a base spec (no leather, canopy, 20 inchers, tints, A Bar etc etc) I hope that someone out there will buy it. I made a few calls about other used ones for sale (private) a couple of weeks ago to get a feel for the market and about half of them were sold... much lesser spec then my one, for around the same price.

Anyway, we'll see what happens... I'm in no major just to sell it...which is always a plus.

Interesting point Colm about commercials usually going for new with a warranty. Do commercial lads normally get spec'd out ones too? I know a mate of mine in SIAC got a nice big yellow one and got tinted windows and nice rims and a few other extras. I'm glad he didn't get creme leather though. Would be impossible to keep clean going from site to site etc.
If I was a suit and helmet kind of guy though, I'd have adrians in a flash.

The guys who can claim VAT and get the 20 inch wheels etc. are usually owner-driver tradesmen (who won't be able to drive onto a site!).
These are the type of customer that are least likely to pay for the jeep outright without getting finance.


The leather is actually easy enough to keep clean, far easier than the cloth. The problem (with Land Cruisers anyway) is the cream carpets that go with the cream seats!
