Does anyone know if there will be more perentie's sold at Cheltenham after this auction?

I would have had a gander but the Grays page said inspection days were Saturday & Monday

GS
Cheapest - $8056 Dearest - $9572
Survey FFR

Add to that RWC, stamp duty, registration and the cheapest4x4 is about $9500 and the dearest is about $14,000 excluding any repairsneeded to get a RWC.

The two 6x6 went for $25662 and $26012

Themedian 4x4 GS was $8872.

How's the form on the FFR at Minto that went for $17k I get it was (appeared to be) rebuilt, but it was incomplete and a bit of a job to get back on the road... That's crazy money.

If it was in pretty good condition though and you could tolerate finishing it, still would be better value for money then a new great wall or mahindra , how were the other prices though I missed seeing the auction

I talked a mate into buying this

Was that the one with the chassis still in the raw galv? If so it appeared to be a new never used vehicle rather cannibalised for parts. The condition of all the fittings in the engine bay were all brand new. There was a similar lot in Darwin and it's VIN was a couple of hundred away from the one in NSW.

Yeah I had a quick look out of curiosity. It was in good condition, I didnt start her up but it had tidy engine bay, nothing missing. Turbo'd . All around it look to be very tidy.

Looks to be a good buy, I would have gambled on it if I had cash to spend and storage to spare.

Ah, thanks, a bit of a gamble there but he figured it had been sitting at a base somewhere doing nothing. He bought a series fire fighting truck back in the eighties that was low k's & it served him well.
I'm told he will be stripping this one back to chassis & modifying to his requirements. I guess there will be a Ambo body up for grabs soon..
