ok then this is the flannel from my ebay advert for my hilux, was it rubbish or would you have considered it
NO VAT...PRIVATE SALE
57 reg Hilux 3.0 D4D Auto in Carlo Blue, Full dealer history and then some, Fully rustproofed, Maintained meticulously, Benefitting from Hardtop, Towbar, Extra lighting, Stainless side steps.
No dents, no damage, no accidents, the very odd small scratch or stone chip, everything works as it left the factory...better in some cases.
Welcome to the reluctant sale of my Hilux pick up...private sale NO VAT.
Bought new in 2007, this vehicle has covered 21388 miles as of now Sunday 6th Feb, i shall use it for commuting to work so have put 21500 miles in the ad to account for any slight increase in mileage.
In exceptional condition as it's been used privately, and was originally intended to be kept very long term...if it doesn't sell for a fair price, that will still happen.
This vehicle was professionally rustproofed in 2008 by Rustmaster Harpenden, if you get under ANY other used 4x4 then this one you will see why, this vehicle is in fantastic condition and will remain so for many years...i wire brush and paint the exhaust every summer too as part of the thorough servicing it gets...the rustproofing process included full inside all panel covering not just the bits you can see.
It has the usual Invincible extra's...Sat Nav, Cruise, Electric mirrors and 4 electric windows, Limited slip rear diff etc, it has unmarked overmats and then rubber mats over them so the carpets are as new as is the rest of the interior.
Front seats have had sheepskin squab covers on them continually, consequently all seats are as new..
Everything works, no faults at all.
It is fitted with a top spec lockable XTC Avenger hardtop in matching colour, unmarked inside (vinyl lined) and out, benefitting from rear opening side widows and a sliding front opening glass panel for ventilation...all hinges, locks and fittings are stainless steel, interior light.
Inside the load space there is a full plastic liner, including tailgate cover, and a very heavy duty rubber floor overcover to stop stuff sliding around.
The top can be removed for normal pick up use without too much bother.
It has a Witter towbar fitted which has been used half a dozen times, the heaviest of which was to carry a Scooby Imprezza on trailer roughly 400 miles round trip, the truck was extremely stable during this trip.
The towbar wiring is all connected inside the cabin under the carpets, my professional sparky thought little of the official wiring kit for the towbar and decided to put all connections out of harms and the salt's way.
The same sparky also fitted front and rear parking sensors which work accurately with display and audible warnings, extra reverse lights and extra interior lights as the vehicle was lacking in these departments when new.
The original side bars were only for show, they are here if required in as new condition, but the truck is fitted with a quality set of stainless steel side steps.
I have all paperwork for the truck, it's been serviced every year at the highly competent supplying Toyota dealer, and i've slipped in a half yearly every year oil change with Millers fully synthetic Diesel engine oil, there is a Fumoto quick drain oil valve in the sump making an oil change a quick clean pleasure.
A new fuel filter has been fitted by the dealer every year during service, surprisingly not a part of normal servicing, but i like things maintained the way they used to be.
If you research this model (and Landcruiser with the same engine) you will find that the Denzo injectors are prone to being noisy when cold, a new set of injectors, pipes and seals were supplied and fitted by the Toyota dealer under goodwill in November, i have all paperwork to show....if you are considering buying another 3.0 litre D4D manufactured before late 08 make sure that's been done, or you could have future problems when the seals leak...£1700 for the parts alone.
It's a full UK spec truck supplied by a proper Toyota main dealer, it is NOT a rebadged VIGO with a shoddy aftermarket heater.
The truck has been treated exceptionally well, always allowed to warm a little before driving and to cool down before turning off.
It's on the original 16" Invincible alloys and is fitted with General UHP tyres selected for their exceptional wet road grip and quiet, over 7mm tread on each tyre, driving this vehicle is a pleasure as it's so sure footed in the wet.
All keys present, 2 plippers and the grey master key, 2 or 3 keys for the lockable hardtop.
This vehicle will not be sold cheap, it's better than any other pick up of a similar year out there and will last far longer than any other too, no idiot has tried to run it on comedy fuel, and it's never been misfuelled.
I shall treat any potential buyer with honesty and respect, i expect similar treatment.
Don't want silly offers or canvassers or dodgy people to waste their own or my time by contacting me, this is a genuine vehicle and will only be released once i have real money lodged in my bank.
The price is negotiable within reason, i'm looking for £16000 for it.
Added by seller on 12/2/11.
Following a couple calls i realise i didn't make it clear that this vehicle does not have leather interior, it has the normal soft cloth/velour style in grey, again in as new condition...i have left the sheepskin squab covers in place, they will go with the motor...but easily pulled aside for inspection to ascertain seat condition.
Leather was considered, but the standard grey is frankly boring for it's cost and cold, and once used in the comfort and warmth of the standard seats is such that aftermarket ( as planned for individual colour spec) was shelved.
