I have to buy 8 new utes for a job and am looking very seriously at the hail damaged hilux's. At the end of the day they are brand new, full manufacturers warranty, never been licensed. Because of our company insurance policy (it costs me the same to insure a 10 year old hilux as it does a brand new M3) insurance is simply not an issue. We also run a $5k excess so we fix our own minor fender benders.

The damage is not really massive. All the glass has to be replaced by the dealers.

Savings are approx $6k over new. What it boils down to is do you want a mint BT50 mazda or a sligthly damaged hilux for the same money? In my book I would much rather have the hilux.
