Going to the shed imagine what it will look like with a Perentie in there.

Patience will pay off soon!

Haha.
Yes, one day it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine!
Just talking to a mate who's out driving them at the moment and he can't wait for them to be sold off and replaced!

Wana convoy back from ova east bushy ?
Got another guy who's interested. We just all have to win vehicles from the same auction!

The possibility is there Cliffy, was only just thinking about it

Well... I can understand that, the replacement will be quieter, with better ergonomics and a/c.

Having just done a 3000+km trip to Corowa/Pucka and back in the perentie ffr I think I know what he's talking about - wind & engine noise are high at speed and it gets fairly warm once the daytime temp goes over 30. But those ADF replacement Isri seats are very comfortable.

While it was OK I would probably prefer to use my D1 or County over such a trip.

Hop on popular auto selling websites and you will see dealers struggling to sell Perenties they paid too much for at auction as well as the general public who have realised that they don't have a/c, power steering etc AFTER they have bought them.

The numbers are growing, the demand will slowly fall and thus the prices....

Yep, they must be crying now with the latest lot going for well under $10K, and there are plenty trying to be sold privately for $12 to $14K - they are stuffed now...

There are even 6x6's being sold privately - theres on there at the moment for over $24K. They must also be spewing after seeing what the current lot went for.

I'll sit back and wait...

But add rego, insurance, 20l per 100km on road, not to mention maintenance (parts?, 6 tyres)... I think you need deep pockets
