    Toyota HiLux 2005: What is causing my car to have engine issues?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 9 August 2019

    A number of vehicles of your vintage using that engine suffered from a lack of oil pressure due to accumulated contamination on the oil pickup. Remove the oil drain plug and inspect the oil pickup and make sure it isn’t clogged up with accumulated crud that could affect the oil pressure.

    What's a a good family ute for $12,000?
    Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 10 March 2016

    With your budget you’re looking at quite an old model, particularly if you want a 4WD dual-cab ute. You’d be looking at something around 2007-2008, but my concern with vehicles that old is that they will have done quite a lot of kilometres. If you want a dual-cab ute, and it sounds like the best option given your needs, go for a Toyota Hilux diesel. The alternative is an SUV, such as a Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Prado, but again you’ll be looking at older models.

    Toyota HiLux 2005: What's a good price?
    Answered by Graham Smith · 30 January 2015

    A rear-wheel drive model would sell for $10,000-$13,000 depending on condition, a four-wheel drive model would sell for $13,000 and $16,000, again depending on condition. With170,000 km on the odometer, yours would likely be at the high end of that range, if it were in tip-top shape.

    Answered by Paul Gover · 22 September 2014

    Not in a car that’s nine years old and six years out of warranty. Things go wrong, even in a Toyota.
