Just passing through. Not sure if this fits the rules, but I’ve spammed all the other main shitpost communities, and this one kinda fit here

    On a budget?!? have you seen what these puppies go for? The absolutely cheapest drive-able used hilux in Denmark, is a two seater 2008 that’s done 228000 km, and looks like 300k. Even the navigation has been ripped out and replaced with some butt ugly off the shelf stereo. And the seller is still asking for €9300.

    I’d friggin love to have a hilux, but it’s definitely not budget enough.

        It was what piqued my interest in getting one, but I was broke and in school, so no hilux for me. But that the prices are still inflated is wild. I mean it was the 4th and 5th gen models that were unbreakable, and the one I found was 11years newer than 5th gen.

        But the age of the unbreakable hilux means that I can get them on a classic car registration, which comes with a low yearly registration fee, inspections every 8th year, vs 2nd for newer cars, and cheap insurance. I may have been looking the wrong places for a hilux.
