Anyone have any knowledge of these Utes?
I would expect it to be fairly thirsty.

wouldn't touch the petrol myself, they are significantly underwhelming on performance and are thirsty as hell, also at that KMS I would be thinking that CV's and Clutch and Diff/Bearings, Shocks, Steering and rear Leaf suspension could all be in bad shape. also these things love to rust if left out in weather or chipped/scratched... the diesels are easy to fix and cheap, my one i used to have needed the head doing. cost me 750 bucks to do... and only 450 for a brand new turbo. heaps more torque than the petrol and could carry so much stuff and still rock along at 110kmh, fairly thirsty for a 2.5l however, but was great to shoot out from both the driver/passenger position and the back was really high up and great for spotlighting too. getting out and stress testing is a must before buying... that 5k could turn into a 12k car pretty quick with all the aforementioned issues, the petrol engine isnt as easy to fix either being a V6 and well, being a ford v6
