Wanted: 4.5 GRX / GL

Post by iandvl »

Apologies - I've been very quite for the last week. However, I was on my first proper "see-vakansie" in about two years, and pretty much did not touch my laptop / cell phone for a week.

In any case, since I was at the coast with my wife and kids, and my parents also drove down for a little, we ended up using the Patrol as a run around so that we didn't have to go around everywhere in two cars. It's the nice part of having a seven-seater vehicle.

The joke of the matter now is that we have another convert. My father has decided he *needs* to get a manual 4.5 GRX, and has tasked me to look out for one. Yes, I know, the 4.5 has slightly less power than the 4.8, but the chances of finding one over a 4.8 manual (my old man does not do the automatic thing) are much better. Also, I know that the 4.2 and 3.0 have better fuel consumption, but my father wants a petrol (sorry Cedric). He's a man of considerable taste that way... :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

In short: if anybody is stupid enough to want to dispose of their 4.5, please let me know. It is a serious buyer, and it will be a cash deal.

Thanks a stack.

Ian

Edit: Ideally, he would like a GRX. But he would settle for a GL too.

My 98 GRX might be up for sale - R 100 000.

Car is in good nick - please search some posts on it in here.

I'm saying "might", as I'm considering buying a newer model 4800 GL/GRX. In short - my gat jeuk eintlik maar net.

Let me know if you are interested.

Previous owner's details are available, and the car has also been maintained by Graham from GTECH - he also has some maintenance history on it.

Mileage is 200 000.

Petri,

I've seen all the threads on your Patrol, and I like it very much. If you're going to sell it, please, please, please keep me in the loop.

Thanks a stack.

Ian, 100 000 viskoppe and its yours. I'm in no rush, but if you guys are, it's OK.

I'm here for most of December.

That sluk sluk that I have is almost gone, the car really is in a great condition otherwise. I would suggest we sort of "meet" at GTECH or something first, and that you are all smiles, before I receive payment.

If you really are interested just let me know, and I'll then put you sort of 1st in the queue.

Maar ek verkoop die Trol met 'n lekker hart........sal nie my naam onnodig gat maak op 'n Oop Forum nie. :wink:

Patri,

100%. At work today, will chat to my old man this afternoon, and PM you tomorrow to work out when / where. Did you not mention that you still needed it for holiday this December ?

Would be great if I could only let it go after XMas etc etc Ian, but buyers don't want to wait - I know that, and no problem with that.

I have other vehicles etc etc, so it's actually no problem.

As I said, I really like Graham, he knows the car, and I'd like to sort of let him give the car a sort of "clean bill".......I'm not mechanically minded.

But, in 3000 km's, apart from that "sluk", NO issues whatsoever.

Graham gave me an Invoice of what he has done on this car at around 190 000 km........will mail that to you.

My email address is petri@isat.co.za

I'll be selling this with as much transparency as possible - that's for sure. As said, especially in here. :wink:

Petri,

No crises. Whilst my father really wants one, I think he will happily wait until after Christmas. So I don't think there will be crises. Shall confirm with him this evening and let you know.

I'll PM you my e-mail address now.

Thanks for the effort.

Jorrie,

It's a thought, and I'll get him signed up when I see him later on this week, but I'm not sure whether he'll be very active on the forum. He does not do the computer thing that much.

I'll send his cell number now.
