I have become four-wheeled scum.

[Hetzer]

Firstly, thanks to all you chaps who gave advice in the other thread, it was very helpful in making a choice.

I bought a Shogun today. A 1995, fully-loaded 3.5 V6 DOHC with 78k on the clock. Gasoline engine, never had a towbar fitted, was up at £2695, got it for £2400. Jesus, what a beast!

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220189828315&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D220189828315%26fvi%3D1

See those lights on the front? Night into day!

Shed-loads of electric dooberies to play with, features up the ying-yang. I had it in 4WD all the way home. £76 to fill the tank, I got 165 miles to half of it. Then I read the manual, it'll do more in 2WD mode.

It's in immaculate condition, inside and out. The auto gear-shift position lights under the lever stopped working on the way home (Neutral light stays lit regardless of the lever position), and the ABS light came on for a while, but apart from those niggles/possible issues everything works perfectly. No spare key either, so I'll need to order one.

Seems like a hell of a lot of car/truck/tank for the money. What do ya'll reckon?

Meh.

I have gone off of 4x4's since owning 4.

Eat to much petrol and lack the fun of a fast saloon/coupe/hatchback.

Its nice to sit above every one and feel safer, but I want fast and handling again.

Whats the handling like in that thing. Do you feel detached from it or do you get to actually feel what your doing ?

I used to have one of them.

Thirsty bugger, although does sound brilliant when you kick down and with the transmission in power mode and let the revs climb to 5,000 RPM.

That one looks in lovely condition there Hetz, although I see the lack of a tow bar as a negative (there's not a lot it won't tow), got similar sized lamps on the front to the ones I had, were brilliant for people who refused to dip their headlights.

Over time an LPG conversion will definitely pay for itself, when I got mine converted it took just under a year to get the costs back. Filling the petrol tank hurts.

Only criticism I of the model as a whole is that servicing the thing is a real pain the butt, as the spark plugs are well and truly buried.

As a side note, was that plate included, if so that could be worth something (possibly).

I'll have a dig around see if I've still got any of the spares left for it, you may as well have them as I've no longer got mine.

Very good find for 2.4K Hetz, well done

Nice mate

Coming offroading then?

That looks a very good deal indeed... you have bought it at Just over trade price, as I presume by the year it's a GLS model with extras?

All you need now is a trailor and a DIRT BIKE!
The Shogun will be ideal for the school run though.

Looks good and sounds a good price as well, spotlights are very good are turning darkness into daylight aren't they.

[colin1]

hetzer seems a bit flush. new motor, new leathers

ive been looking at cars myself of that age, cos of that age you can put them on classic car insurance. No problems with no no claims bonus as classic car insurance doesnt work that way.

is that what you have done ?
