Thread: Was this a good price?

Ouch!
But then any car is worth what someone is willing to pay.

Hi BB - $3k seems quite reasonable to me considering it has dual fuel and dual batteries.

Dunno about the colour though - I reckon it could have gone for another $500-1k or so if it wasn't brown!

Mate - quite seriously it looks like you've got a good truck at a reasonable price and even if you have to spend a couple of grand to sort out the common niggling issues like engine temp, rust in the top rear tailgate etc it is still a solid and relaible vehicle.

Just put some decent offroad-biased tyres on it (e.g. Coopers, Mickey Thompsons) and go have some fun with it.

I paid similar money a couple of months ago for a '91 Suzuki Sierra (also requiring rego renewal), and I am certain that it does not have the ride comfort of your RRC

Sorry, can't help you out with the dizzy - been a long time since I've looked under the bonnet of a RRC with intent.

Cheers, Paul.

I was the second owner of that car. I purchased it from Ritters around 1998 and traded it on a disco in 2001 after it started cutting out at random on a regular basis and could not diagnose the fault. It was also due for a 2nd cam replacement at that time amongst other problems.
I thought the next owner put in a new motor as it was advertised on ebay about a year ago for a much higher price than you paid.
It was a great car to drive and the colour grows on you.
When I bought it the bonnet had been resprayed and the roof needed to be.

good luck with it.
