Hi all,
I am selling my Isuzu D-Max LS Dc.

www.trademe.co.nz...

This Ute had a wonderful life and has all the bells and whistles.
Extras I added, around $10,000.00

Nudgebar = when you need to touch-park;
Bonnet guard = protects the bonnet from stone chips and insects,
Door visors (tinted) = you can crack the window when you park to keep the interior cool or when you drive without the wind noise.
Reversing camera = easy to get into a tight park or to hitch a trailer,
Bluetooth head unit = sync your phone and have fun,
Towbar = if you want to hitch a trailer or if someone wants to touch park against you,
Canopy with netting over the windows = Our dogs like to live in luxury and stay cool.
Tray liner to protect the tray if / when you want to use it as a Ute,

This Ute was used almost exclusively to drive long distance when we visit the kids, first down South and later up North.

My daily commute is a 60km round trip and I would on the odd occasion use the Ute and it was parked in the garage except when we were on holiday.

The seats were covered in seat covers since day one and it was only removed today.

It had all the scheduled services on time every time and the full service record is available.
The battery was replaced 05/10/2022.
