Everything old school made in the seventies was pretty good except the leyland p76 although I hear it was a good car just put together pretty roughly
Anything old is good. I've got a couple of Valiants (VG hardtop and VF ute) and an XE ute amongst the collection. Good assortment of 60's and 70's Toyota's as well.
Would love a Ford coupe to complete the Holden Ford Valiant trifecta. XA's and XB's will probably be out of the price range for a while. Maybe an XP coupe if one pops up at the right price.
At least ur buying a completely fixed ute.. nothing to do on it... everything has been replaced... Might be going CHEAP!!!
Old school cars have better line more characteristics than that of the new models. The 70's cars rock...
He's put a price on his so called turd. Poor old Q'ey. He probably expected brand new ute drivability and discovered that owning something like this means a little bit of give and take.
As for me, I'm like a monkey raised in a box, never wanting for the jungle. I only drive Q's so can't give a winging comparison to anything else.
Maybe it is a lemon. Plenty of people have had problem plagued Holden lemons just as in any other make. I know one particular white Holden ute that has bailed its owner up a few times, but the previous ute never gave any dramas. Also know of some other Sandman owners on this site who were put off ever buying another Holden after buying a lemon HZ station wagon lol........(they now have a few Holdens again now though).
my sandman is a lemon too sitting in the shed with a cover over it because i hate unreliable cars but they are vary basic cars so it only takes a bit of time and patience and at the moment i have no time but i would really like to take it to the drive in night on march 11 so hopefully another van will be back on the SA roads soon ........
Yup but never had problems with sandys tho....
