Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Dagse Patrolmanne,
Ek beoog om n patrol in Kaapstad te koop maat ek is in Pta. Is daar iemand in Kaapstad wat dalk vir my die voertuig kan evalueer en toetsbestuur vir evaluasie asbvoordat ek self kan afrt asb.
Groete...Johan

Ek weet nie of Frans Fourie bereid sou wees om dit te doen nie, maar hy sou goed wees. Sy nommer is nul83 4nul9 25nul8.
Gerhard (GMan) ook. Sy besigheid is: https://www.brabys.com/za/western-cape/ ... x4-outdoor

I put this on the Cape whatsapp group so you might get some more offers of assistance. It would help if you said what suburb of Cape Town. Gerhard from GTech for example is way down south in the southern peninsula. Frans Fourie is out in the north. Further east towards the Winelands there are a million okes that could probably help you, it's patrol territory out there.

If you get on the WC whatsapp group the guys probably know the background of the car you're looking at

Like Spike said, it would help if we know where the vehicle is then we can see who can assist.

Hi Johann

ek kan ook gaan loer. Ek's in die Blouberg/Melkbos omgewing.

Sorry to hijack the thread.....but there's a WC whatsapp group? Is there a KZN one? Normal transmission will now continue

EDIT: Cause Im an idiot and ca't spell Hijack

Sorry....moes dalk bietjie meer spesifiek gewees het... dit is by WE BUY CARS in Montague Gardens in Kaapstad. Baie dankie vir al die reaksie. Dis n 2013 60th Anniversary Patrol met 87000km. Klink min kilos vir die 2013 kar... amper te min!

I just had a look at the advert. It says 2011, not 2013. Also the advert says manual where clearly it's an automatic albeit tiptronic.
That We Buy Cars is only 3 or 4 kilometres from my house actually but I'm a bit scared to be the guy that approves or vetoes it ..........
I'll make a turn there now and see what the story is. Friday afternoon n all but maybe I can make a plan to test drive it

That is a heck of a lot of money for a 2011 model, despite the low mileage and good condition..... Maybe R350k to R380k with R400 at the absolute most! - but it is your choice...

I also do not know how much value you can put on the DEKRA report when they describe it as a manual transmission and metallic paintwork!!

Ok so I've been there.

Unable to test drive. You have to be "pre-approved" meaning either good for the credit or that you have the cash to buy it outright.
I've got the contact details for a salesman that I can send you.

I have a million photos . You can let me know if I must post here with commentary, or send via whatsapp or email. Either way I'll need to edit them so I can point out the cosmetics.
Also got a photo of the VIN plate

It is very neat. Everything is clean and dry underneath, and new looking. Exhaust looks good. Under the bonnet looks super clean and neat, with some mild wear on the insulation at the back towards the firewall.

Iron Man bumper, suspension, steering damper, snorkel.
Bumper looks like it had a winch that was removed.
Ladder on the back made from a low profile round steel. Neat.
Aluminium bashplate under the front bumper

Bottom of radiator looks good
Radiator water looks the right (bluish) colour

Tyres look good. Right front a little bit pap, maybe slow puncture.
I shook it around and yanked on the wheels etc, but no noticeable play or noises.

The roof is mint. Got a gopro fitting up there.

Mild scuff marks below the gutter from a roofrack. Some of the scuff marks have surface rust.

Some sort of full screen double din system fitted. Could not see a brand name.

Front ashtray lid, in the centre console is broken.
Centre console armrest has screws missing on the hinge so it's floppy.
Gear lever no signs of wear

Rear number plate holder is floppy

The lid for the jack compartment is missing.

I removed the seat cover on the drivers seat. 99% condition. Two tiny cracks in the beading on the seam, and a teeny bit of wear evident.

No jump seats in the back

Steering wheel is in good nick, usually a good sign. The tiniest bit of wear on the edge of the leather where the right thumb would go.

Right rear wheel arch has about a one mil gap in a spot about120mm long.

Approximately four tiny chips on the bonnet. Three on the leading edge, and one closer to the middle.

The battery is marked 2014.

There is an aftermarket relay and inline fuse in the engine bay and a switch down by the subtank switch. I assume for some sort of accessory. Maybe not spots though because the fuse looks beefy.

The summary is that it looks really clean and neat, with a few bucks worth of accessories.

My personal cheapskate opinion though is it is still at least R100k over-priced, but different strokes for different folks


Afterthought: I didn't think to check the exhaust brand name. Looking at the photos it doesn't look OEM and looks similar to my PowerFlow silencer box
