Comments from the seller
For Sale:
1999 series 3 vs commodore ute.
Column Shift automatic ex-Police. Original V6 engine.
Has been my day to day vehicle since 2011 and only selling due to needing a dual cab.
Asking $9000 “buy it now” price.
If you want to make a lower offer, I’ll wait a while and eventually give it to the highest bid.
Please make your first offer a good one as I don’t plan to spend too much time going back and forth.
Odometer reads approx 323,000- was broken for about 2 years. esitimated that about 15-20,000km driven in this time, so real kms closer to 343,000
Has had a bunch of stuff replaced/ repaired over the years. In the past few years:
New Alternator 2021
New oxy sensor and manifold gasket 2023
New radiator 2023
New water pump 2023
New Battery 2024
New power steering rack 2025
Front brakes and new fan belt 2025
New crank angle sensor 2025
New engine mount, transmission mount, and rocker cover gasket 2024
To be sold without roadworthy, although currently registered and driving on the roads.
Dual airbags, although presumably original and haven’t been tested.
Has cruise control, tow bar, air con, roof racks and tool box.
All possible issues known to me:
Tailgate replaced in late 2024 after being rear ended. No damage to chasis.
Fuel flap doesn’t ’click ‘ into place, but doesn’t flap around in the wind.
Cigarette lighter has no power
Plastic tub lining cut away on the wheel arch under the tool box ( to allow for tool box installation when I was young and foolish). The metal wheel arch was also slightly hammered down, can be hammered back into place. I covered this with flashing to protect from rust. See photos.
Car radio removed-original wiring and speakers still in place and should still be working
Slow oil/ something leak, can leave stains on driveway below engine. I had some hoses replaced / checked, which greatly improved this, but it is likely to still leak a little.
Glove box- RHS pin broke off. If opened without care, the whole thing falls out.
Side mirror adjustment button fell off and missing.
Buttons on central locking key ( see photo) fell apart so I did a home repair… needs to be pressed a bit more firmly but still works.
Several small dings, blemishes, rust spots. A few that aren’t so small too ( see pictures ).
Upholstery etc all very worn.
Tool box beginning to rust at bottom. Of the two tool box locks is missing a spring which needs replacing. Used chain and padlock for several years which was enough to foil a few attempts to break in.
Roof racks still very sturdy but have some surface rust and one small section of the side bar removed.
Indicator needle points inaccurately to park, neutral drive etc. Have to just count the clicks on the column shift. This has been fixed in the past, but led to slipping gears so was put back to how it was. Suggest leaving as is.
Tailgate handle screw comes a bit loose- free screwdriver comes with ute..
On the positive side- still very enjoyable to drive and has plenty of go.
Serious buyers only please.
