Really hard to say what it is worth. Small, reliable, and pickup truck is worthless to some, but valuable to others. And quite rare these days in N/A.
9500 USD seems a bit high to me. I like it all the same.

It is hard to view it as a collectible item so the price seems high.
I wish we could still find pick up with normal heights like the Mazda B1800/2000/2200. Seems to me this was much more practical than having to carry things at heights to put them in a truck bed.

I am not even sure these kind of low utes are still sold in Australia like they used to be until recently.
I'd be happy with something like this one, just so long as it worked dependably.

Good observation.
The locally built, sedan based utes by GM Holden and Ford haven't been built since around 2016. Of the Japanese brands, only Toyota does a 2wd ute, but theirs only comes in a cab-chassis configuration. No smooth bodywork with snazzy decals like that cool little Mazda.
As a result, prices for used utes down here are quite healthy.
Jorn,
You need to make a statement!

Love the look of that red and cream Ford. Not a fan of big tires and lift. Riding in my cousin's silver '75 Ford 4x4 as a kid, and my brother's lifted trucks, I don't see the point of trading ease of use for mods that don't increase off-road ability.
Those look great. They don't make pickups with beds like that anymore do they?
I'd need to build a second garage.
It would have to stay upstate. I owned an 06 diesel Chevy Silverado 2500 crew cab with an 6 1/2 foot bed and 2” lift kit. It was not easy to find a parking space or a garage space nor was it a reasonable use of money to park it in the city.
But I really really really miss that truck. Big Red. Really wish I still had it. Wish I had listened to my daughter who owned a Colorado when she said “Once you have one, you will never not own a pickup.”
I find that people who drive old trucks tend to be in less of a hurry, more pragmatic. A life approach defined by a tan left arm, a good pair of work gloves, and the acknowledgment that having a truck means volunteering yourself and the truck.
At least, that's what I'm aiming for.

These prices seem unusually low.

Speaking of expensive trucks...

^^^ Nice looking truck. Dad traded the '76 GMC pickup for a Ford Bronco in '80. He proceeded to endure a few years of issues, both self-inflicted (crossing a freshly painted yellow line and splattering the truck) and built-in (a series of build quality headaches such as loose window levers) before he got rid of it. It put him off Fords, but I still like the looks of their 70s-80s trucks.
Cheap compared to a Porsche I guess.
Saw that the guy with the purple Nissan also has the white Nissan out with a "For Sale" sign on it. Looks newer by a few years. Unfortunately right now I'd need a 4x4 to park where it is now and walk over to take a look at it. Hopefully he will move it to the usual spot at some point so I can take a look at it. Probably stupid to think it would be any cheaper. As in cheap enough for me, which is pretty damn cheap I am afraid.
