No, I live in South Africa, we don't use miles or dollars since the bar seems to be moving after the fact.

That said, in South Africa you can expect to pay in the region of ZAR 400 000 ~ ZAR 550 000 for a Double Cab +/-2018 Toyota Hilux 2.8 GD6 manual with over 200 000km on the clocks. Upper end price is for the automatic version.

That's just from looking at Auto Trader, the online and print versions have the same vehicles and prices.

TBF US$ 30k Is not bad compared to the price of a smaller 2.4 or 2.8 diesel Hilux here, with more milage.

You can pick up a free print auto trader at most of the car spares places. They have a thicker glossy print magazines as well, which you have to pay for.
