Tell 'em to jamb it. Worth a lot more with that engine and box, and with all the other work you've done.

A top condition standard V8 is going for almost that now. I wouldn't sell mine for that, and it's a way short of yours...

Tell them $60,000 and meet in the middle...

And, if you sell it before next weekend when I can finally take a look at it, I'll drive to your place and beat you senseless...

The value of them is getting up there huh! Obviously I'm well aware of that, as I just paid close to that for one ... although already I wouldn't sell it for that! I think I paid top dollar for an almost top unit - I didn't get a bargain but didn't get ripped off, so both seller and buyer are (hopefully) happy.

I have to agree with Gav though, with that engine slotted in there and the stuff you've sorted (twin spare wheel carriers, fuel tanks, twin headlight bar, etc, etc, etc) it seems to me that $30k wouldn't be quite there. I can see the temptation for you though with other projects lying around and the potential house project stuff. Life is full of tough choices.

Spot on John, good, well sorted standard units are worth nearly that. You didn't get ripped off by any measure. Any 101 that can be bought, then driven 3,500KM without issue is a well sorted unit and worth the dollars. I wouldn't sell mine for $30K, it's doubtful I'd sell mine for twice that. It's a vehicle I'll have for a loooooooooong time. Nothing else I've owned puts a smile on my face every time I see it and drive it. It's the first thing I see when I get home from work, and I always smile when I walk past it to the front door.. Even the Missus and Pugs don't make me smile like that.

For ****s sake, don't tell Yvonne that...

Don't worry guys... Tho $30k wud be handy right now, the 101 is going no where!!! Even SWMBO cracked the ****s and said NO!!

Irrespective of prices that 101s have recently made this one is probably a bit more realistic, and it has history.

I was just looking at that one on evilBay and came in here to mention it - you beat me to it.
No winch and no tools on the nose, but otherwise it looks reasonable from the few pic's. I've added to my watch list to see how it goes for price - could be interesting.

Ok, so this morning at Bordertown the 101 started but only just.. So here we are in Horsham having had brekie and have swapped the batteries over so the flat 12v side is now the outer 24v battery and vice versa. The good thing is we stopped at Maccas next door to 'Daryl Robertson's Auto Electrical' and he's fast charging the flat battery! Gotta love that for service! Still on track for Wombat!!

Is the battery the problem or the charging system
