S/hand Navara

You would be many times better off with the 3ltr job. IE the x Patrol engine.
The 3.2 was sold turbo charged overseas and was ok but the non turbo as sold here is a bit of a dog in comparison.
It would be worth the extra $s.

Hi Hillie,

I did the same investigation in 2003, ie by second hand or current model.

I was told on numerous occassions that the 3.0 ltr model is a heaps better vehicle.

After purchasing a 3.0ltr ST-R in 2003, I must admit I was glad of the decision. The 3.0ltr diesel engine in a beaut, and 4x4 driving is a real pleasure (and fun) in this vehicle.

I would highly recommend you look into a later model that has the 3.0 TD

To let you know, we also have a 3.0ltr Patrol, and the navara has it all over the Patrol in torque and 4x4 driveability

Hope this helps

Guys,

Thanks for the feedback. i was a liitle apprehensive about the 'non-turbo' engine. it all got the better of me so i went down to the dealer this arvo to test drive it and i wasnt overly impressed and he couldn't give me enough for mum's taxi!!

the car had a bad vibration under load that felt like a tailshaft or diff problem. probably something the dealership "might" fix up prior to delivery but it is a problem i can do without??

i guess i will keep looking. it is not desperate that i find another 4by today, but i would rather find a good truck that will serve the family each weekend.

Happy 4bying

Hillie
