Saw that one also and thought the same. The old man brought a second hand vx Ltd 2003 model and sold it in about 2006 with about 70,000km on the clock and got about 65k I think

Awesome @BRADS, I love my 80 series. Any one got a good place to get parts though?

Get the same from the 1KZTE manual 4WD HiAce. Doesn't matter if it is just the van, the van with the transporter or the van with the transporter and 1.5 Tonne of firewood.

As a 80 series owner myself the Toyota brand/reputation and resale as a 4wd offroad vehicle has been irreparably damaged by the "sheep shagger" , while this has nothing to do with the 80/100 series the 200+percent parts cost over a ln106 hilux is a joke.

I would not expect any 20+year sheepshagger to be commanding near purchase price in the future.

@BRADS is a 20+ sheep shagger, I reckon a good looking man like himself commands a good price?

On a serious note, any one got a dash fan/temp controller for a 80 series I can borrow to do some fault finding? @shift14, @veitnamcam. .....

What series is 99 for the uninitiated sheep shaggers

Should be 100 series.

+1, If it's not it might be the seller that's having the last laugh

99 is a 100 series with beam axle front end, rare specifically for the Australian market that didn't want a weak as piss independent front end.

100 is ifs and 105 is solid I thought?
