It's a stunning looking Ute. Presents nicely. Yeah it it has some repro bits, they can be corrected over time.
253 is a big no-no! The price reflects "car yard" asking. I reckon if you keen on Sandman Ute's and the colour does it for you it would be negotiating on for sure.

Real price? Maybe $27 to $32K But if they take a trade in well that helps and might just get someone over the line.

It has a lot going for it.
