What would this be worth in the states? - 11/11/2007 1:28:13 AM    Mountainman   Posts: 64 Joined: 11/2/2006 Status: offline Hey Guys, Just trying to decide if its worth trying to bring my 110 back to the states when it turns 25.  Its an 1986 with about 230K with a 2.5 diesel in it.  Also, does anybody know the cost involved?                                                                         Thanks,                                                                              David Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) Post #: 1

RE: What would this be worth in the states? - 11/20/2007 9:45:16 AM    thecarpe   Posts: 7 Joined: 11/20/2007 Status: offline It would be worth somewhere between $12k and $18k, best bet.  The biggest challenge, when it turns 25, is not getting it here, but getting it to pass emissions tests.  Anything after 1974 has to get EPA certified.  The more work that needs done to it (certainly with that many miles) will offset the value to the guy who thinks he will buy it as a project truck (because he ultimately doesn't want to pay for a 1993 NAS 110).  He figures he'll throw down $15k or so for the truck, then put a 200tdi or 300tdi into it, then some random offroad stuff.  Essentially, that project is about $30k minimum and most guys just peter out before it gets done and they never really count the full cost as their eyes get bigger than their proverbial stomachs, so they sell their dream to someone else who will inch it along until it gets completed.

I can dig out their details for you if you'd like? (in reply to Mountainman) Post #: 7
