I wonder who entered them? Big hit to take.

Talking to someone recently that deals with tractor dealers. He has said they have quite a number of brand new tractors going into Euro Auctions in December as they have to meet a certain number of sales for there manufacture rebate.
I wonder if a dealer put them in. Can’t be easy being a dealer when vehicles currently being not available!!

At least 20k per vehicle hit. Something odd there.
I'd imagine someone ordered them on proviso of running em as a work truck
And obvs with not being commercial for van tax none of their lads will want them.
And yet if they were 90k Porsches they'd be fine. How fked is this country

Tractor dealers need to sharpen the pencils abit!! Yards have been full for over a year across the board, yet they still won’t budge on the over inflated covid prices!!

Another snippet from same cal tact was how they are struggling to move second generation tractors with new stuff having interest free credit. Why by a 3 year old when a new one is almost as cheap when finance costs are added.

OK, I'm converted
Like it or not, that has certainly hit the brief as a 'modern defender '
Yeah but for the same price you can get a land cruiser.

That company up north is importing the tray back version of that. They had a few v8's but mostly 2.8's now. Auto box in them now too.
Tbf I wouldn't mind the fortrunner which is a Hilux SUV but like the old surfs.
Currently at a complete loss at what to get my wife as a new car as they all seem to link size with accessories. We want a big car but only want the accessories and tech level of 20 years ago. And just about everything on the road seems to be riddled with problems.

Afaik the V8 has gone now
Saw some pretty nice decent useable SUV type things in NZ that we don't get.
Was looking at a grenadier again today. If that was 30k that would absolutely fly out ...it's just simply not a 70k car imo. Once they sort the gremlins it's got the potential
Oh look up the Toyota champ
a 10k pickup!!Actually not a daft idea .

I like the look of the mahimdras and tatas they get in nz. Very cheap but mostly less than 100hp some are 75hp. I would still have one I think. Look ideal.
The company importing the land cruisers did have a few v8s in stock but yes I think production is over. Unless you get a tundra tacoma or Sequoia
