[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 55954, member: 414"] Yes , but you can fit turbos to them for around $3000 and get 30 - 40 % more pony downside with those is air conditioning doesnt exist too The 6x6 Perrenti built landrovers do have turbos and eventually there will be crate motors and spare parts by the container load turning up at the same facilities to be sold. and yup , with second hand vehicles some fleet managers just flick them based on odometer readings regardless of maintenance costs sometimes they flick them out of fleet based on lease finance expiration ( 3 or 5 years ) sometimes a fleet is dumped into auction because of expiration of a contract regardless of k's , age or condition and other times a vehicle might get dumped "because it was a lemon from new and we were very unhappy with a failure to respond by the dealer and we will never buy another XYZ again" buying second hand has every variable on earth , and a trap for every unwary soul . but if you do your homework carefully you can get lucky sometimes. says me with the crossed fingers and toes I am still learning :/ [/QUOTE]
