      @@aidenstevenson2980 yeah, that was always a point of contention among those that wanted the V6, it was never advertised, never used in media fleets, and some dealers were talking customers out of buying them, even though they were better suited to short commutes, which would have saved a lot of DPF complaints.

    Don’t buy from Grays auctions, unless you want a lemon. Read their reviews and do your research before purchasing from them.

    • @chrisgregory4796
      @chrisgregory4796 4 месяца назад +3

      Probably not the case for big fleet sellers, but individuals and smaller outlets seem to see Grays as the place to dump vehicles with expensive to fix or weird problems that they don't want discovered on a test drive. Some seem to hope a silly buyer will buy it off the pictures using a lucky dip mindset.

    • @matthewgleeson2121
      @matthewgleeson2121 4 месяца назад +2

      When I was looking for a ute late year, everything I saw at Greys was totally shit. Of course they aren't the only ones selling lemons and different yards varied in the dodgyness of their offerings. The key in the end was to have a set criteria of exactly what you wanted - make, model, price, mileage, spec, etc - and stick to it with little compromise. This obviously then involved lots of patience and looking and looking and looking all across the region.

  • @mordeth1964
    @mordeth1964 Месяц назад +1

    One thing that you forgot to mention is that for quite some time Toyota denied there was even a problem with their DPF's and when they did eventually have no choice but to admit it, they had to be dragged kicking and screaming to fix it. This company's arrogance, over blown delivery times, over blown pricing (compared to any of their competitors) considering the dated platform and tech as well as a lack of standard equipment are the main reasons (even though Ford are far from perfect) I bought a Next Gen Ranger instead instead of a Toyota.

      Just wait till the injectors shit themselves and melt a piston if you think an anchor points a problem. Or the oil pump blocks up from the leaking injector seals.
      Keep saving your money bud, you'll need it.

    I had a n80 that had the timing chain issue before 50000km. It sounded absolutely awful and I’m sure damaging to the motor.

    always enjoy watching and i find these "buying car tip" videos useful. I have a question, the 2nd hand market has changed over the past couple years making it hard for someone young to find a 4by worth buying. Either you buy one that's much older with high KM's or try get a loan. I'm probably going to get a bt-50 2010ish since you can get them for 15k, i've heard they're good utes but id be wary to go on any long trips.
    what would you recommend in my situation?
    Love the show, hopefully shauno or one of the boys will read this

      Make sure you research the engine in the rig on forum pages on the internet or through social media pages. Also, if the rig is well looked after then it is highly likely the car is in immaculate running condition. Always check log books, thats a bonus to finding out about how well it's looked after!

      ​@curtis4925 he clearly said sr5 in the video. Sr don't come with climate control and they didn't show that in the video

      Bash plates are replaceable, not vital to the structural integrity of the car during sale!
