Not too bad. Silver. The body is rough, but the mechanicals are awesome. Spent $8k in the last 3 years!
I am genuinely worried about my Ute Muster cred. It is definitely one of Australia's great cultural institutions and something I WILL attend one day. In a mate's car.
I was having second thoughts about a ute toward the end and the value of a Liberty vs Brumby (as mentioned above, by MofRp, they are badly over valued). Old Liberties are also undervalued. I've owned one before and they are WAY overengineered. So, for $1500 I get 2.2L, injected 4, full time 4wd with option of diff lock, AC, ABS, and a proper boot.
Thinking of a road trip in the ute, it would have been a massive pain cragging. Every time we left the car would have to move everything out of the tray and into the cabin to lock it. |
