I saw plenty of utes that rich dad bought for spoilt sons that just got smashed and thrashed to bits. They paid top dollar for them too. Talking 10 to 12 k for wb utes in 1990 that cost less than that when they were new.
Speaking of prices, you don't see many cars making more than new price 6 to 10 years after they stopped making them!
Nothing wrong with it, just makes them worth heaps less when they try to sell them! I looked at a few 1999/2000 VSIII V8 utes before I bought the Cross8. I think I upset a few people with ex B&S utes when I went to walk away after 30 seconds when I saw all the holes under the sills and the places where the truck mudflaps had been fitted.
