Hi All
Name is Nick i'm from central west of NSW in a town known for a certain race track........
Have been a member of PP for a little while and have always dreamt of one day owning a Prado however luck or money never seemed to be on my side until now, recently sold my VE SS and thought bugger it i'm getting a Prado. Many days/ weeks searching and found many nice looking 120's but the price seemed to be top dollar and most sellers were not willing to budge on price.
Week after week i would enquire on many Prado's with the same outcome and then i came across a 150. The kms were a little high but otherwise great condition, contacted the owner who is a top bloke who says it how it is and no beating around the bush. A week later finance has been approved and a plane ticket booked.
A plane ticket you ask? Yes did i forget to Mention the car was in QLD near emerald........ anyway got it for a good price with good service history and get to know the car better on my 1400km drive home, my partner, boss and colleges think i'm crazy going to all the effort that i am but i dont think so.
Car has ARB bull bar, brush rails and side steps with a couple of light force spotties, it has 173,000 Km's and is up to date on all services. Today i have purchased a provent 200 and fuel manager for it and very eager to install. Also bought myself Techstream for codes and feedback on the injectors
I would love to give it a full service and replace all filters once i get it home on the 1/4/17 but were do i get the part numbers so i can source genuine parts at a cheap price other than Toyota? i prefer not to start a war about genuine and aftermarket filter however for personal reasons i prefer genuine.
Anyways glad to finally have a post on here about my own soon to be prado and look forward to interacting you guys alot more.
Regards
Nick
