[QUOTE="thesmithy, post: 55948, member: 427"] Headsup, I have heard the same from some buyers and even worse. of course the ones they transported to the show would have been the absolute best in class. needless to say I have not bought one. non turbo, 5 cylinder isuzi diesel. Slow as a wet week max speed 100 kph. I have this theory about 2nd hand vehicles........? selling to up grade....why just maybe you need a newer model.......especially if the company is buying. selling as its reached it's use by date. selling as we can't afford to repair it. buying a 4x4 just purchase what you can afford with all its faults and work you way through them. Remember the people that complain about your brand of 4x4 most probably has never owned one. There are plenty of good people on this forum that have a very sound knowledge on working on 4x4 vehicles. As well as most makes and models. an old Aircraft engineer once said to me OIL IS CHEAPER THAT METAL.......how true was he..45 years ago. [/QUOTE]
