forddeliveryboy Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Ok, it won't tow 1500kg but for £450 and a long test it looks very Japanese. Here's another old Nissan which is similarly lightweight, so buy both and double-head them when necessary - it's more enviromentally friendly than permanent 4wd. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C733274# I'm sure* you could find a towbar for this 4x4 - not bad value at £1750?
billyboy406v6 Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Scooby nice to drive, but a bit juicy and parts are a bit dear, like self levelling shocks.
hairnet Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 new bank st is all scrappys and breakdown places the estate across the road isnt the best id rather buy a farmers knackered one than a townie one
dollywobbler Posted May 17, 2016 Author Posted May 17, 2016 Prairie is an awful lot of win. Drove Ratdat's on Saturday and really liked it. He rates them as tow cars too...
vulgalour Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Is that not the Prairie that RatDat recently walked ran away from?
dollywobbler Posted May 17, 2016 Author Posted May 17, 2016 Is that not the Prairie that RatDat recently walked ran away from? Given how well he's on top of the UK Prairie scene, that's entirely possible!
forddeliveryboy Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 The ad mentions it's had sills, so they could well be badly bodged.
forddeliveryboy Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 A Delica would make mucho sense if you're dragging other chod about for the magazine. Plus veg-ability, even though you don't.
dollywobbler Posted May 17, 2016 Author Posted May 17, 2016 It is the one Ratdat 'bought' on Ebay. Sounds absolutely hopeless. Not bad, but the seller sounds best avoided. That's two disasters I've avoided tonight so far then! eddyramrod 1

catsinthewelder Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 A customer offered me a Xedos 9 the other day and I still have his number. It probably wasn't a great deal as he had just been quoted a grand to tidy it up at the body shop. loserone 1
vulgalour Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 So, in this round of Dollywobbler Buys a Car who's running the sweepstake? I've got cash* waiting here to put on a heavy oil Montego as the petrol Japanese car DW wants. anonymous user, Cleon-Fonte, forddeliveryboy and 1 other 4
dollywobbler Posted May 17, 2016 Author Posted May 17, 2016 A customer offered me a Xedos 9 the other day and I still have his number. It probably wasn't a great deal as he had just been quoted a grand to tidy it up at the body shop. I think the Xedos 9 is probably too new. So, in this round of Dollywobbler Buys a Car who's running the sweepstake? I've got cash* waiting here to put on a heavy oil Montego as the petrol Japanese car DW wants. No. It WILL be Japanese! Unless desperation really sets in and I need a new tow car immediately.
catsinthewelder Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I'm sure this one was old enough as I did consider buying it, N reg IIRC. What about a Honda Crossroad? NorfolkNWeigh 1
Walter White Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 If you could find one a Nissan QX might float your boat.

vulgalour Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 If the answer is FOUR then I've got that covered too.
MarvinsMom Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 shame that the manc camry is/was a bust, as the camy especially in v6 form is a wonderful car.
