Thread: Looked at a D1 300TDI with a view to buy

On Monday i took a look at a D1 same age as my P38 100,000k less on it than my P38 and i have over 300,000 now.
It drove ok but a bit breathless, a manual and with some fruit.
Dual batteries both 7years old, UHF radio, old compressor under the bonnet snorkel, cargo cage, polly air bags, winch.

BAD;
Plenty of broken things in the cab (plastic) headlights de chroming, tail gate hinge snapped off, tail gate latch not working. Every door seal was stuffed, headlinner sagging, brake rotors shot. Oil leaks, jesus front and rear oil seal and just poring out while i was under it body rust bubbling under the paint. Most suspension bushes have daylight around them or cracked, rego in 2 months.Over all a pretty messed up truck.
All yours for $7k.
I looked at another in a car yard and the head was leaking coolant down the side of the block $7k for that too.

If i could get $7k for my P38 i would be happy and it doesnt have any of these faults bar the head linner.

Offer him $2500
