I'm thinking of buying.....

Monkey Rich · Mar 17, 2012

I have been offered one for what I consider a pretty reasonable deal.... BUT I am interested in what any of you guys on here reckon...

Its a 90 TD5 pickup,
Year 2000, (on Irish plates),
Pretty good nick, except a few dents and dings here and there,
Good condition underneath,
118000 miles,
Supplied with a hard top, and roof rack.

What do you guys reckon she would be worth, roughly?????
Any advice or opinions would be much appreciated!!

Cheers,
Rich

Providing the Bulkhead and Chassis are sound then about £5500-£6000. Don't know how mileage affects the price of TD5's, as far as I can tell it doesn't make much difference to 200/300 tdi's

My personal advice from experience Always save a reasonable amount of your budget for unexpected faults.

I don't have any, I'm afraid! I has been offered by a friend of a friend, and is not currently being advertised anywhere...

I've had a look underneath, and looks pretty good mostly, although the rear crossmember looks a little shabby...

I'm going for a closer inspection over the weekend when I plan on making a decision!!

Cheers for replying!

Take some snaps

make sure when you test drive it you put it in low box a few times to make sure there are no problems.

Good advice!

Most of my budget will be blown away on the fender + tax & MOT...

That which I have left may well go towards some slightly more appealing Wheels/tyres....

Cheers for the reply!

Also as its a TD5 have a listen when its running for a buzzing coming from the back end, if theres no buzzing all is good if you hear a buzzing, get ready to buy a new fuel pump (thanks to WLM for telling me that whilst i was awaiting rescue!). As i found out with my works TD5 when i was borrowing it to get home.

Will do.

I've already taken it for a spin, but neglected to stick it low ratio... I'll do that next time.... If there are problems with the low ratio, it'll whine, right????
