$40k 4.2 Wagon

[Cuppa]

Just passing on from another forum - no connection.

$40k 110K kms

Looks v clean in the photos.

Lot of money for a 14 year old car, but how often does a 4.2 with that sort of mileage come up these days?

Tell him he's dreaming for a GUIII

A mate of mine has an 06 with just over 100k on it. Sitting on a gold mine lol.

Last week a mate of mine sold ‘05 one with 160000 for $40k. Bit more fruit but still...

That's awesome but it was a GUIV. That ad is for a GUIII. Insane price for a GU3.

Insane price for a GU3, 4, 5 or 10. They are an old outdated 12/13 year old vehicle if you ask me but people are paying that kind of money so why not...lol

you think he would swap it for the wife's 97 mazda 323 ? :smileyvault-cute-bi

I can't believe the price tags that are still attached to these things, irrelevant of what series they are lol.
Makes me feel good owning a 05 with 105k on the clock, but I wonder if I was in the market for one right now, would I pay that much...

When I bought mine it had 98k on it. I stumbled on it at my local yard the same day I decided I would buy a 4.8TI cause I couldn't find one. My wife was confused because the 4.8TI was full leather. Wood grain. Flip down DVD, Factory GPS, sun roof and was about $7k cheaper???????

Why do we want this? Well it's a TD42Ti!! It's a no brainer!! We Must Buy this. In 5 years it will hold its value way better than the 4.8. Trust me.

That was 10 years ago. And i could buy a 4.8 for 12k today. Maybe.

TD. She's a keeper.

[TimE]

I've had my 2005 4.2tdi for 10 years and put 130k on it, 35k on it when I bought it for $50k, so currently 165k kms. Spent maybe $30k on "boys" bits, wouldn't sell it for quids, unless someone wants to make me an offer I can't refuse!

Boys bits include bars at both ends, twin elockers, 43% reduction gears, drawers, winch etc .......... full details here (http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?360-Time-s-GU-IV-4-2TD&p=754724#post754724)

Maxhead I reckon I'd get 60k for mine with the highlight being...'hardly been off road'. lol

Mate, I’d be going for 80k as I’m sure it’s NEVER been off road. Ad headline “ tar junkie” lol

lol all jokes aside guys

Im a fussy buyer and when I was looking I was happy to pay abit extra if the car was a truly clean example.

Yes there is a general indication of market value but some people will low ball you.
Some picky people are willing to pay extra but for the right vehicle.

As they say. Car is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.



The patrol is such a popular 4wd you see so many for sale ranging from raped molested examples to pristine almost new setup for touring quality ones.

I saw a GU IV in similar condition with similar kilometres advertised on Facebook yesterday for 35k.

Yeah I saw that too and thought of this post.

The 40k car in the add here doesn't even have 5k of barwork. Still wearing an alloy front bar and no wheel carrier.. for $40k it would have to be set up for Outback Touring with all the bling. Plus a Cross Country cooler, a 12mm pump. A Borg Warner, 160rwkw and 100,000kms on the clock. Then I'd be arguing value for money. Can't call it a barn find. Still think hea dreaming.

I paid $7k more for my GUIV TD42Ti in ST model over a 4.8 TI of the same year with all the Nissan Fruit and was happy to pay the premium. This guys dreaming though.

[drgtr]

I paid 29k for my 2003 model advertised 32 500

Its a Td42ti
3 inch Taipan Xp exhaust
Fridge slide
2 inch Bilstein lift
Harrop Rear E locker
Large top mount Intercooler


180 000kms. 8 months rego.
Most I saw were quite rough. This one wasn't perfect but best I could find.

My bro in law is currently trying g to sell his TD42 Series 1 gas injected wagon, I think for a reasonable (adjustable) Price. He's had no interest what so ever.

Just curious Darren.
If you were in the market for a Patrol right now. Would you spend $40-45+ for a super nice 4.2 Y61, thats 12+ years old or would you consider adding say $5-10k, and getting a V8 Y62 thats no mor than 3-4 years old ?

I think that would be the gas IMHO. It isnt very good for the motor in the long run.

Y62 in a blink mate.

Hahaha what happened to "nah live axles the only way, stuff this IFS/IRS shit, Y62 god how ugly! Gone are the days of proper 4b's! Traction control?? I'd rather cut my arm off and drive properly!"

Not at you MR but just a general observation of how attitudes change over time.

Yeah I'd like a Y62 too!

Lol I think technology has advanced so much now you dont need to rely on wheel articulation and massive tyres and diff locks as much.

Now with traction control, rock crawl, KDSS suspension etc . the car does all the work.

Though seeing IFS 4wds hanging one wheel in the air like a T rex dinosaurs short arms just looks wrong. lol

Bear in mind I have quite a bit of difficulty explaining the tech so it is understandable when it comes to cetane value, which relates to its auto ignition point and that kind of stuff. But, basically (very basic) it is the way the gas ignites as opposed to diesel fuel.
It will ignite before the diesel does, which is pre ignition. Difficult to hear on a td because it is a noisy rattly engine anyway. But it does pre ignite and will end up causing damage in the long run. A td is still very robust and will shrug off the abuse for quite some time, right up until it shits itself.
Yes there are dedicated diesel gas engines, they are usually low revving and incredibly robust industrial/heavy duty engines and can with withstand those conditions.

From a personal experience and what made me research more into it is when I cracked 3 pistons on my old td and was getting rebuild quotes and all that crap.
I had 4 separate companies (3 of which I had never done any business what so ever, the 4th was just the mob who built my intercooler) all asked why I was rebuilding,
Me, ' I cracked 3 three pistons'
Them, 'Ah you run Diesel gas'
Me, 'no just stupid amounts of boost'.

I would also agree.

It can be done but its usually by an oem who has the backup and engineers to design a system that works correctly. The biggest thing with a system like this is the control side of. The only way to do it is to put the gas in after ignition has ocurred. This will change depending on load and rpm etc. You are simply not going to get this precisely controlled for $4000. Water methanol is pretty good though.

[the evil twin]

Agree... bulk LPG (or Petrol) fumigation in a Diesel via the charge air is not ideal.
Cheaper and gives more power etc, yes, but has its drawbacks when it comes to control.

Injected fumigation gives optimum control but at a price and increased complexity.

[katwoman]

Ok, well time will tell I guess. Mines done about 100,000 since gas was fitted by PO.
