The Used Toyota Hilux bakkie That Offers The Most Value For Money


.
For many people, a bakkie is purchased as a workhorse. It's a tool of the trade, so to speak. This means that affordability is vital – and a new bakkie may prove to be somewhat unaffordable. However, the great news is that there are lots of superb second-hand bakkies at Group 1 Cars and they're not as expensive as you may think.
.
It is possible to acquire a bakkie for less than R100 000! An investigation into used cars for sale online data provides a list of the ten lowest average priced single cab and double cab used Toyota Hilux variants (including average year and mileage).
.
Why the Hilux, you may ask? It's the top-selling new bakkie in South Africa (and indeed the top-selling vehicle irrespective of body type).
.
The history of the Toyota Hilux spans eight generations, during which this bakkie has earned an enviable reputation for being one of the world's most trusted and reliable commercial vehicles. It has sold more than 19 million units globally, while it remains South Africa's most popular bakkie – by far.
.
So, which used models exactly are up for grabs to South African customers?
.
We'll kick off with single cabs first – since they're almost always used as workhorses (recreational buyers are likely to opt for a double cab). When it comes to Hilux derivatives, it's possible to secure a Hilux 2400 for a mere R95 450 (the average selling price). It would come with an average mileage of 348 250km and an average model year of 1988. It features a 2.4-litre overhead camshaft, carburettor-equipped petrol engine.
.
Fancy a single cab with lower mileage? The Toyota Hilux 2.0 – average selling price R169 995, average mileage 95 000km and average year model 2015 – fits the bill.
.
When it comes to double cabs, the most affordable used Toyota Hilux option is the 3.0D, which features an average selling price of just R89 945, average mileage of 308 363km and an average year model of 1999. In contrast with the most affordable single cab, this particular Hilux is powered by a torquey three-litre diesel engine.
.
Want a double cab with half that mileage? The Toyota Hilux 2.7 – average selling price R262 625, average mileage 144 017km and average year model 2013 – should tick all your boxes. So, there you have it – whether affordability is paramount or you're after an affordable bakkie that boasts a low mileage, too – the used bakkie market delivers.
