i put a deposit on a rather clean 1993 ford raider 4wd its pretty big, not for offroad but **** it i'll take it to the farm anyway

from 14990 + onroads we got it down to 13000 w/ onroads it looks pretty tough, all WORKING electrics etc.

i was originally going to get a toyota 4runner for 15000+orc but we saw it where it was getting the clutch changed and it was rusted to the shit on the gas tank alone, to much offroad in its life for only a petrol engine

this raider is cool, and whats good is, it shares same parts as a ford courier and mazda utes so thats not a problem. needs a bit of paint work but not severe, a small bit of crows feet near the door, but no accidents. also we are getting an oven at work to paint glass splash backs, but its going to be about 6 foot x 4 foot x some very high hight, so we will do a full respray in that when the time comes :D i will post pics soon with more details

Looks nice...

Though... i wouldnt trust anyone at Car City!!

I used to work at a detailers that did 80% of the cars there.. and i saw sooooooooo many SH!T BOXES come in!! Most of them use quick fix answers too.. We used to pick the cars up from mechanics half the time.. and from this i wouldnt buy a car from there UNLESS i have it 150% checked over twice!! lol

Its an eye opener when your behind the scenes...

But hopefully your car is one of the few that are in good condtion for a good price!!

Good Luck with it!! :D
