    I though they'd be asking much more. Is it serviceable?
    I wonder how much IE would be asking for a single 2700 unit. Perhaps 2751 or 2753, the double cab units would be the most desireable. I'd say they'd be looking for more than 29,000 for a sigle unit would they.

    Are there any plans to sell them or are they just going to be used to reinstate the infamous "inchicore sound barrier".

    27xx are serviceable and only 14 years old. the above is 60+ years old and barely short of the scrap heap. Compare it to the sale of the 141s if anything, some of which went for a nominal $1 afaik or a couple of k at most.

    29k NZD is $18.5k plus moving costs of approx the same according to the ad.
