I unfortunately have to sell my truck. We're doing an addition to our house and the funds are needed there. Long story short, the timing belt blew and the truck needs some amount of work. I don't know exactly as I haven't fully investigated with a mechanic. As I understand, after speaking with Georg, Onur and a few other places I'm looking at anywhere between $10k and $25k for the repairs. I just don't have that money at the moment. SO, here I am.
The hook! It's a Cali registered truck. I just renewed for the year through to Sept. 2024. That's right, a RHD 1HZ with CA plates. I've seen lots of people asking about registaring a diesel truck here in CA. and heres one. About once a week someone would ask me if I was selling the truck and I should have taken numbers I just never thought I'd sell it.
I'm trying to figure out ... Do I sell the truck fixed up, ready to go? OR, let the next owner do the repairs under their own watch? I can see it both ways depending on the buyer. I'll work on getting more photos inside and out, but wanted to get this out there.
I also don't know how much to sell the truck for. When I look the price varies from BAT to Instagram. I feel ike the CA plates should give the sale a bump up in price though. Its hard parting with the truck. Attached is PDF with a list of work done to the truck. I'm going to put in here a place holder price of $36k.
** Long story (happy to get into the details and provide paperwork if someone is really interested) ** I could have sworn the timing belt was replaced when the head work was done, so when the timing belt light went on as the odometer turned 300,000 kilometers I thought it was just because of the mileage. Long story short … When the new head was installed I could have sworn the timing belt was replaced. I’m not sure it was, as it blew and now I have a cracked camshaft and maybe some bent piston heads. I recently found on here a few people selling parts for the truck as well.
