Request for buying advice.
Hi!
I am looking to buy a second hand 4x4. Hopefully under 10 years old and under 100000km (60000miles). I want it to be a manual transmission diesel and to be a good off roader. I am looking for a short wheel base (hopefully not much over 4 meters) cargo capacity is not very important. This will be a daily driver, most of the time I will be ridding alone but it must, occasionally, take at least 5 persons reasonably comfortably for longer trips. So this excludes a Land Rover Defender 90 Td5 (longitudinal benches)(too underpowered). The newer versions are too expensive even second hand. I am not sure if there is a Wrangler diesel version that carries 5 (excluding the unlimited (too long)) Toyota Land Cruisers (heavy duty) are not imported here so the only option would be a kzj70 (probably too old) or kzj90 (light-duty, prado, land cruiser II) An Opel Monterey (Isuzu Trooper) (probably too old too) A Mitsubishi Pajero (Montero, Shogun) does not look like the best off roader but, well, looks can be deceiving. I have the impression that Suzukis in general are too weak and offer too little ground clearance. I probably like the looks of the kzj70 and the Opel Monterey the best. Yes if it looks too much like an egg I tend to doubt the car's off road abilities... ;-) So what do you nice guys advice? What would be the option that would be the best compromise between my requirements and good off road ability. Any other suggestions? Thank you very much. Best regards, José Rui |
