to bad you were not closer, i see quite a few popping up around here in BC canada. usually 1-3 a year. I bought mine (4x4 diesel) about a year ago. When i was originally looking to find a diesel, i found about 2-4 for sale just by putting out wanted adds.... bought mine for $3400 CAD, and probably overpaid, but it was what i wanted and pickings were slim... especially since the guy didnt really wanna sell it & 2 were 2WD & the other one was a few hundred miles away vs just around the block... has paid for itself in fuel savings so im not too worried! 30MPG on average. Probably could get more when i get pump rebuilt, new/rebuilt injectors.
also just bought a running parts 2wd diesel (rear end is seized & body is pretty bad, engine runs mint though.) with 159,000KM for $500 that im gonna give the engine a re/re and throw it in replace of my 300,000km engine and build it for a brand new spare when the time comes....
the parts truck i just bought, the engine runs better than the one in my truck currently. Nothing is wrong with the one in my truck per say, but its starting to leak all over the place and could probably use a rebuild and update
Quick clip of my truck firing up about a year ago when i originally took the video. I need to do a driveby one day so i can see the billowing smoke & get a better idea how she sounds with the hair dryer turbo spooling up haha, sorry, dont know how to embed video.
