Default Please help. Need a new pick-up for my sister

Does anyone know of any of these for sale in the North East area?

Mistsi L200 twin cab
Ford ranger Twin Cab
Toyota Hi-Lux Twin cab

My sister just wrote off her car. Towing a horse box when the hub fell to bits (on the horse box) causing the whole thing to jack knife and write off her new hi-lux (new to her)

does anyone know of anything for sale, she is really desparate as the loan car is no real match for the hi-lux (can't tow anything) and she is a vet so need to go through the feilds etc.

Thanks for anyhelp you can give me.

had a near j/k once v scary, I hope your sis got out without injury?

Can't help with actual pick-ups for sale, but I would recommend looking at Nissan Navara's (sp), and skip the L200's

Happy hunting

Rolled it down the road. Looked a right mess. However my sister and her mate plus the three dogs and the two horses were all fine. Not even a bruise. Bomb proof thoses things.

Hello

Well, that's a mis-leading heading if ever I saw one. I thought you were offering your sister to whoever replied!

Steve.

You wouldn't like her I'm sure, she is the spitting image of Uma Thurman.

How about importing a Holden SS Ute?

Got no idea of where in the N/E to buy anything though, sorry.

What's the budget?

But, it's as an important note this is one of the things where I feel that all trailers and caravans etc should undergo MOT or equivelant tests. Things like this could be avoided.

My dad has a motorbike trailer - it snapped a torsion beam on the one side...it looked ok, just a little lop sided - But he keeps using it when it's clearly unsafe...I took the wheels off it in the end and I told him he won't get them back 'til he sorts the suspension

I think that a brake shoe had come loose inside (possibly) locked the thing up and then it dropped to bits. On the face of it when it was bought it appeared to be in very good condidtion.


Budget is about £8-9k inc vat
