100% mate, sandstorm is such an epic colour, especially when detailed. So many of these nice lanes are destined for the scrap heap. The elderly that bought them new have driven them to death and it simply isn’t worth fixing them with multiple issues. This is a one owner car and looking at receipts they’ve spent a lot on it in the last 5 years. He said it was a lovely car until his kids started using it 3 years ago.
Bringing my sportsman back was a decent effort. Me and my mate worked out what it would have cost if I got a mechanic to do all the work that’s been done. $8000 just in labour.
LWB have never been cars that fetch decent money, I think I’d be lucky to get 6-7k for my sportsman. It’s why so many will see the scrap heap. I worked out I’ve parted 5 in two years now, imagine how many the wreckers are parting or simply scrapping.
