$23.5K for an 84 isuzu county ??

[gunny]

Admittedly its got low kms...given the advert (http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Used-Cars/4WD-Wagons-SUVs/AdNumber=8147802?BackToResult=true) doesn't have any photos or any in depth detail i have to wonder a bit about the price ? Are they dreaming ?

...hopefully its no one here :o i'd expect them to be able to load photos and justify the price with some more descriptive details !

[weeds]

thats a lot of $$$$ for a county

[Bigbjorn]

how many of them are included in that price. The best one , and also best equipped one, I ever saw sold for $12500 two-three years ago.

[long stroke]

You could buy three for that price:eek:

[Corgie Carrier]

Tell him he's dreamin!

frustrating that there are no pics or a full description but as wrong as it is its easy to assume everyone has internet access, a digital camera, and the know how...unlike the good old days of just posting a few lines in the paper to sell a car !

We bought a Isuzu Landie trayback that had lapsed rego for $2K, young army guy was going to set it up as a pig truck, got a new girlfriend and had no money to pay rego, a win for us, even has a lift crane on the tray and sports after market suspension, Parabolic suspension someone told me, are they worth much?

The body had a bit of wear but the motor kicked over first go when cold (Canberra winter 2007) without a problem, the compression is to factory spec, while we had the transfer box out we change the High Range gears to something with a better ratio for highway work and bought a turbo kit from Turbo Glide in Wollongong, all we have to do is finish the electrics hooking up the Isuzu into the Rangie.

What you have is a Series 3 Stage 1. Great trucks, but worth less than 110s because of the leaf springs, drum brakes and no PAS. I have seen a few sell for the 3-4k mark - but sounds like you got a good deal.

I seem to recall that paras are about $600 a pair new - maybe more.

What do you mean you changed the high range ratios??? They come with 0.996:1, you can't get taller (better for the highway) than that.

[alltrans]

Just listed my Countu Isuzu, location Syndey Southern Suburbs, futher details
on market place under "county".....considerably less than pricing being discussed

[mcrover]

Maybe it was meant to be $2350.00, he might have got carried away with the zero's.

At that money it would be a bargin :p

As for the Rangie.......that belongs on the "What were they thinking" wall.

IT'S A 77 Rangie, they are just about giving these things away these days and carrying all that weight with the old 3.5 carbied V8....that would make a 300Tdi or a Diesel Series look quick.

Obviously knows his teminology though with his Oil Radiator (cooler) and Trans Radiator (also a cooler).....

Price sounds reasonable, but it depends a lot on condition, and without pictures it is not likely to raise a lot of interest. Would also help to put the location in the Markets section as well as here.

i thought Stage 1s were 1.336:1 - but I got that info second hand.

Edit - in view of John's following post - applies to LT95 with V8 - may or may not apply to Isuzu variants

[JDNSW]

These specifications do not include the Isuzu engined variants - all 110s with it had 0.996, at least with the LT95, and I think so did the Stage 1 Isuzus.
