Landcruiser 79 series ute 4.5 v8 d4d

[K974]

Just wondering how much would (if it would sell) a 2009 landcruiser 79 series 4.5 turbo diesel v8 ute make in uk ? Would there be market,

Bull bar
Steel tray
Lightforce spot lights
Dual battery
Mud tyres
Factory snorkel

Asked similar question before about a patrol but have changed to a landcruiser now considering bringing it back but not going to if I've something that worth $35k here and valueless in uk

Thanks

Possibly about the same as UK spec 200 series, hard to value but those interested in buying would be using it abroad anyway so they'd know the value.

[K974]

Do you think?

Its the basically the same ute as this one taken out of google images, except its white. same bulbar and lights

I would think there would be a fair bit of interest however anything under 10 years old and RHD isn't easy to register in the UK
I would bring a older 75 seiries troopy or ute over 10 years old which would be a good seller and simple to import.

I can register it in ireland no problem, if it's on irish plates can it be imported to uk easily then? Is the 10yr thing for cars outside the eu

[K974]

Anyone have an opinion ?

Thanks

i think there would be plenty of interest. The combination of a utility vehicle but with a large bullet proof engine is what most people would think of as a perfect defender they never made.

what would it cost to buy and import?

they are quite expensive, being almost $65k brand new for a gxl, a gxl has such luxuries as a centre console and electric windows, so like a defender in that respect. The depreciation on them is very soft, a 09 would be worth $40k still,

mine has arb bulbar, lightforce lights, dual battery, mud tyres, winch I’d be happy to get in the region of GBP15k for it.

Would have about 120,000km, on it by time gets back.

As a 4.5 V8 Turbo Diesel Engine, same as the 200 series but single turbo.

Wonder what kind of interest there would be

Why would you do that, you have to pay the tax in Ireland (or apply for the VRT exemption, which if your not actually living in Ireland you may not be eligible for) and then have to pay tax when importing it to the UK.

As regards your "Ute" the only thing I can really see being of interest is the engine.

[K974]

Hi I can import to ireland duty and vat and vrt free as it's a change of residence I've no idea about uk regs but assumed if it was in irish plates it's straight forward and low
Cost to import to uk then

[skyrover]

yes I would say that would sell quite easily

[K974]

thanks for the reply , skyrover, any idea if it would make GBP15k?

that's the sort of kind of money id need not to be too far out of pocket

thanks again

[skyrover]

It's difficult to put a value on it.... any purchaser will probably have done their research and know what they want.

I would be looking at 10,000 to 15,000

Here are a few similar type car's for sale in the UK if it's any help to you, although yours is newer.

79s are rare, very rare with that brilliant engine in the UK. I can't say whether you would get that money (second hand cars being generally much cheaper here than in Australia) but there would certainly be a market. I spent a week in one whilst hunting outside Darwin last year and have been in them in Africa a lot. They are what the defender should have become (a long time ago).

massive value in the uk

utes in the UK sell for a fortune as it is

Ask Nene overland- they probably could give you an idea, or might even buy it off you.

http://www.neneoverland.co.uk/4x4-toyota/toyotaAE5... would be an idea of value for a cheaper truck

The UK has different rules for import duty/VAT and the Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) test if the car is a "personal" import. To qualify as a personal import, the car must have been owned for at least 6 months before import, and you must keep it for at least 12 months after it's registered in the UK.

no next summer, would there be a market in the uk? there is a dual cab for sale in Ireland at the moment. Silver around 80,00km steel tray and few other bits, thinks is a 2013 but its gxl

the only thing putting me off is you could be stuck with it? no market to sell it too

I'll keep you in mind !
What you think it be worth in uk
2009 say 180,000km
Usual arb stuff on it

Only thing I'm hesitant about is if I bring it back get sick of it , I can't sell it and access the money to use for something else

What you reckon it would be worth there?
