I must agree with Rezlo.
In South Africa I would NEVER buy a car without taking a look at it myself. This ebay selling and buying of vehicles just doesn't do it for me.

With the number of 1400 bakkies on our South African roads, one would think "hey, easy to find parts at a scrapyard and cheap". Well, it is just the other way around.I was looking for a bakkie's 5 speed for the GX and you guys would not believe me when I tell you that the Toyota T5 which is a stronger gearbox is cheaper and easier to obtain than a 5 speed.
The parts are not easily found and are very expensive. Again I must agree with Rezlo about build quality also. My 1977 GX is of better build quality than today's bakkies. My father was looking for a bakkie and I tagged along to check them. Really bad quality. Even the wire harnesses are not neatly done.
