Brad, our faithful steed that has taken us adventuring around Chile and Argentina, will be searching for new owners as our adventure comes to an end at the end of December. The vehicle is not for those looking for luxury and comfort at every turn and many of the bells and whistles have stopped ringing and whistling on this 89' Hilux Surf. Nonetheless, the important things work and it runs solid. We are 2 buddies in our mid 20's and we adventured the last few months and left our luxuries behind. We enjoyed getting to know the character of this car and we lived and slept happily and comfortably every night of the way. Upon selling it, it will be equipped to throw your bags in and go! We expect it to have around 270,000 kilometers when we come to sell it.
For Brad we are asking $4,500 US or best offer and will be selling him in Santiago NOW.
The diesel motor is very economic as diesel fuel is very affordable (ca. 70 cents per liter in Chile). The engine has got a 2.5 turbo diesel, It's manual transmission, 4X4, and has got a high clearance, which is perfect for a lot of smaller roads. It gets about 11km/l on the highway and a little less around town. As you don't need expensive computer diagnostics for the engine, it is also very convenient and affordable at the mechanic. Toyota Hilux It is a very common vehicle in Chile/South America, you can easily find a place to repair it, if something happens.
The wooden sleeping platform is 1,90 x 1,40 m. with a foam mattress that was put in in July 2016.
Underneath it has got 4 big plastic boxes and 6 smaller boxes to store food, kitchen stuff, clothes etc..and more storage space. We also installed a hidden safe for valuables like computers, camera, important documents, etc. There is a lot of space behind the two front seats, and you can also put on back seat up, if you want space for one more person (Great for hitchhikers!).
It's come with the boxes, air compressor, 20l. jerry can, 20L water jug, fire extinguisher (need for controls in Argentina), different tools, shovel, spare tire, solar shower, towing cable, car jack, safety triangle/life jacket, some cooking/camping equipment (for more details contact us)...CD player /Radio/ AUX plug included!
It's been well maintained and now it's nearly completely overhauled and the technical condition is very good to drive easily another 200 000 km.
