Good buy or not?
« on: January 02, 2011, 12:25:41 PM »
Found this buggy for sale, approximately $3000.00. http://www.cars.com.na/car/sandrail-2004

Apparently it was built for the Mad Max movie they intended to shoot here in Namibia a few years back. It has a Nissan V6 engine in with an automatic gearbox, don't know which brand of shocks it is. Going to have a look at it tomorrow.

What do you reckon? Should I go for it?

Depends on what needed to complete.  Looks mostly there, and running.  If there is any documents on the movie thing, bonus.  But I like Mad Max movies. ;D

Might be well worth 3K. Hard to tell much from pics though.

I also think the parts alone will be $3000, I paid almost double that amount for my piranha a couple of years ago. I reckon with some work it can turn into quite a nice buggy.

The Mad Max movie was never filmed here at the end. I think there were some funding problems.
