What your trucks are selling for in the UK
- Thread starter Oggers
- Start date
i sold a z car to sweden a few years ago - could have doubled my money on the car if i shipped it there myself and showed up at cars and coffee stockholm lol
i've seriously considered selling overseas, or importing - i know there's money in it if you know the right people...

Don't be in too much of a hurry to bring them over here Viperhauler!
The trucks already in the UK usually have much lower mileage, they're not really daily driver material here especially with parking issues and the fuel prices etc, they're more of a 'weekend chariot' and hobby.
With less choice for sale here prices are higher but I'd suggest the pool of buyers is much smaller. There's rarely more than 3-4 trucks for sale seriously in the UK. If you brought 6 over you'd probably crash the prices.....
I'd be willing to bet the OP enjoys the time on the spanners (when it's going well...) almost as much as driving it.

It's the Japanese stuff going your way from the uk that's on the make here, once it hits the magic 25 year mark they can go for serious moneys!

Have you had yours long, have prices gone anywhere?
Seems a few on eBay pistonheads etc from the same importer, looks like Americancarandtruck are bringing in a few? There all up for good money, which is good for us!
Haha enjoy is a strong word it's more necessity! Have yet to find anyone with good knowledge of viper motors loads of American car specialist in London but nothing Viper, OCW have a good rep and some bloke called Terry Harris for engine builds bits mostly Chevy stuff I think?!

in Australia rc are between 65-80k au$ and qc between 80-90au$
almost 40k pounds and $55usd
Not a massive market here so they don't sell very quickly

I've had it for a year and before that (don't flame me too hard VTCoA forum members...!) an F150. Unfortunately it didn't have the go to match the looks and found it frustrating to drive. The F150 was vat reclaimable which suited me but knew I'd made a mistake the first time I kicked it down a gear.
I had it for a year or two and sold it really easily within a week of advertising and started looking for a QC. Wasn't prepared to pay much over £20k unless very special. I paid £17k and have put about £6k in sorting all the usual bits and adding a bed cover. If I was buying one advertised at £25k I'd want to see proper history, not just a few stamps in the book from 5 years ago which counts as 'full service history' at most garages...
Finding anything at this age with a proper history is very hard and you could wait forever finding the colour, spec etc you want, their values IMO are based on the history of invoices for work done.
You're right about the lack of Vioer specialists in the UK. I've used AVS in Braintree who are ok, Redline American Muscle in Kent have a good reputation but I can never get anyone to answer the phone, engaged or rings forever.
Bought some spanners and a manual and doing the routine stuff myself now!
Hope your supercharger fine tuning works out!

PS Glad I don't live in Australia, sounds an expensive place to keep a truck!
