I can't say I know that model Hilux. but it could possibly be just a worn bush at the base of the shifter. which should be a very minor thing Someone else may be able to shed a bit more light on this :)

If it's the one with a common rail D4D motor, just walk away. The newer shape Hilux is much weaker in every aspect than the older model (1997-2003).

Possibly, but not for '05 models. To cut the long story short, injector seats and seals need replacing every 45 000kms, or you could risk major engine damage later on (150 000 to 200 000km). Injector pumps cost about $8000, and each aftermarket injector is $900 (X4).

That's the model I was thinking of. Some people may disagree with me, but in my experience, these are lemons. They are much "softer" than Hiluxes used to be. But, they are nice to drive and have good power.

That doesn't mean you won't get a good run out of it, I'm just saying what I experienced. I work at a country based garage where 80% of the vehicles are 4wd utes. Common rail diesels are very sensitive to contaminated fuel, and Toyota's factory filter just isn't quite good enough. We change them every 6 months and each time, they are covered in crap and rusty residue.
