So hard to find good tray back ute 300tdi!!

For what price though MrLandy? I've been following the market closely for 130's for about 12 months now and I don't think I have seen a single '98 130 with less than 300K in that time - Ive also seen plenty of 130's for 15-20k or more that are in that ballpark of K's.

The '98 130 I bought had 345k on the clock and needs a total ground up rebuild - compare that to my D1, which is a '93 you would swear the D1 was 10 years newer, not 5 years older....now, if you are selling a '98 130 with less that 300k on the clock, that could be a different story :D

Interesting isn't it. Tdi 130 prices are definately rising. Certainly not easy to find an unworked /low km 130. Patience I guess.

Or CL you may have to settle for a Td5.

I have seen quite a few with 250k or less, but I have not been quick enough as they have been in another state.

yes true that, I'm just a tad impatient lol. I did see a cracking example advertised for about 15k a while ago with the 2.8L motor, everything rebuilt and receipts for all work - now that would have been a great buy, so yes, they do come along.

Missed another one and sooooooo annoying this one was in Cairns too!!!!!! expletive expletive rant rant. It was only advertised for a few hours before I saw it!!
Maybe it is a sign I need to find a good 300tdi..
Still annoyed though

This one just popped up on ebay again, not a tray but easy enough to drop one on.

I saw that one, he had it on Gumtree a bit ago for more money, now he is running an auction starting at 10.5k and he is not even selling with a roadworthy.

I am starting to feel sorry for you :) We bought sight unseen back in 2007 :ohyes:

There are a few more in W.A. but I thought they were a bit far from you.

Mrs hh:angel:

I like the red one and I emailed him yesterday but no answer yet. Yes quite a way away, but not out of the question if it is a good car. One worry I have with ex fire trucks is they can have a lot more use than the km show as the engine can run for days at a fire doing few kms. The guy selling the red one called it smokie, I asked if this is because it smokes or because it is an ex fire truck, but no reply yet. I just noticed he wants 18.5 k and he is selling without a safety certificate!!
