Buying Your Perentie

Where

There are four ways to buy a Perentie: online auction through Australian Frontline Machinery, a private sale, a second-hand car yard, or through us.

Australian Frontline Machinery (AFM) is an Australian company with the contract to dispose of ex-military vehicles via auction. Auctions take place online through Pickles Auctions and are usually conducted once a month in various locations around Australia.

We also have access to a limited stock of Perenties. All of these vehicles receive a major service and complete inspection before sale. They can also be specified with any of our upgrades or accessories.

What

Without any prior knowledge of the Land Rover Perentie it can be a daunting task to figure out what each model is, what the history of any vehicle is, and of course what you should pay for one, and prices at auction vary greatly, but the Internet is your friend, and with a bit of searching these answers can be found, particularly on forums such as REMLR (The Registry of Ex-Military Land Rovers).

I’ve Bought One!

Post-purchase we highly recommend a full service and inspection. This is especially important if you intend to drive the vehicle interstate on its maiden voyage. Although these vehicles are maintained to the highest standard with almost no regard for cost they are still a twenty plus year old motor vehicle.

Items that must be checked include:

  • Wheelnuts and drive flange bolts
  • All oil levels
  • Drain and clean the fuel sedimentor
  • Clutch and brake fluid (remove the bell-housing wading plug)
  • Coolant
  • Lights (including dash lights)
  • Thorough visual inspection

This is by no means a complete list. From here they are a blank canvas to use as is, or modify and customize to your particular needs.

If you are buying from overseas, then you've come to the right place. KLR have the right knowledge and a great reputation, having helped many overseas customers through the buying, upgrading and shipping process.

So whatever path you decide to take, don't hesitate to contact KLR if you need any help or require some expertise in buying an amazing Perentie.
