Pajero - whats it worth as an off road toy?

[mat777]

Hi all,

My gliding club is possibly getting rid of its H-reg Mitsubishi Pajero - in the 2.8 diesel 5-door flavour. Like all our ground vehicles, it was donated to us a number of years ago as an MOT failure, what on I'm not sure. It drives all right given its age and mileage (about 200K if I remember correctly) and has a very fetching blue interior and 5-spoke fake split-rim wheels. Our reason for disposing of it is that the starter ring gear is missing a couple of teeth, so it sometimes takes a few goes to start it without whirring uselessly. It also has a fair size dent in one rear wing where it lost a fight with the front of our RB44. Other than that, it is IMO too good to scrap and we dont have the time or patience to part it out for spares.

I'm assuming the ideal sector to pitch this at would be the weekend pay'n'play toy brigade. I therefore ask the PH collective - how much should I advise the club committee to ask for the vehicle?

thanks,

Matt

sold my 2.5 on eBay for £400 and that had blown up completely. wouldnt be surprised if you got near to £1000

Having recently bought two 5 door petrol Shogun's from eBay I can give you my own experience; first petrol-turbo (BBR) one for £460 (with 'iffy' MoT) and a 3.0 V6 for £300 (without MoT), both were very tatty but we've made one good one out of them in the end. The donor truck went for scrap - we got £200 cash - so I'd not hold out too much hope for a big settlement or a high bid. Don't think the LWB models are sought after for off-road toys.
