    Better late than never...

    Hi everyone,
    Finally convinced myself that getting a Perentie for the farm is a good financial decision... Well, i just want one really and have managed to fudge the figures enough to justify it!

    So i was just wondering what the going rate was at the last auction for a basic 4x4 with a winch was. I missed the end of the sale and therefore missed the prices.
    Also i was curious what the turboed engine and 4 speed boxes were going for, as i wouldn't mind a few spares.

    Not to fussed about cosmetic condition but want a recently rebuilt one, what should i look for?

    Are people generally happy with their purchases? I will be downgrading from a V8 cruiser as it is an expensive vehicle to be driving around muddy paddocks all day, plus it uses more fuel than our 200 hp tractor, so obviously it's not like I am used to excessive comfort.

    Also what's the feeling about when the auctions will end? Would like to get one, maybe even two if the price is right, fairly soon but don't want to pay extra as they start to dry up. I assume plenty of potential purchasers are sitting on their hands until the end..

    Thanks for your help..

    Don't ask this question!

    Here is the specs page for a GS without winch.

    Plenty more info at remlr.com as well.

    Wish I hadn't! Surely they can tow more than that.. I suppose they can but just not legally.

    I think that is the consensus. There has been some debate about it on here.

    My FFR with winch set me back just shy of $10k including buyers premium and delivery from Minto in the May auctions

    I am just guessing, but would 900kg be a trailer without electric breaks? I am sure they would be able to tow more with electric trailer breaks fitted.
