Around 15 years ago I was looking for a "scrubber" and ended up with my brother's old ute.
When it died a horrible death I bought a s/h BF2 ute, 100K kms, booted and spurred with ladder racks, etc for $8500.
Great purchase. Carries whatever I want and has the added benefit of keeping kms down on "good" cars.
If you regularly don't need seating for more than 2 I can thoroughly recommend a ute.

Yeah, problem is every parts vehicle I've bought has been to good to pull apart and are pressed into service as "scrubbers" and packhorses.
This falcon van was only supposed to last for a month now I'm getting tetchy about it in car parks.

Man, I gotta stop visiting ebay.
