2004 patrol

A 2004 for 36K is a good buy, depending on how many K's. Apart from training purposes, I would rather an auto, I reckon they do everything better other than downhill, and the Patrol's relatively high low range makes that worse.

Who knows if all the robems with the ZD30 are solved, some woul argue they aren't but the statistics seem to indicate the later models are better.

oh yeh sorry, 40kms

Hi db,

$36K for a 2004 auto ST with only 40Kms is a great buy, seems too cheap! I have the manual and have always had manual 4WD's, but wish I had got the auto 3.0TD (my brother in law has one). Reckon you couldn't go wrong with it if all is in good nick.

Cheers

Mate you wont go wrong with that, even if its stuffed!!

Hope not, but 10 mins ago I read this in our local paper

Dealership Add For new Patrol.

Patrol Ti Free gas conversion

Manual petrol But?? Nissan depreciation would be a worry for some?

Currently have a 2004 3l Patrol Auto with a little less than 40k, have been offered quite a bit more than $36k as a trade on a new 2006 unit with same spec so $36 seems like very good buying to me.
Previously had a 2002 3l Manual which was as trouble free as the auto has been, went up the Canning in the auto last year and was the only vehicle in our convoy of six (all others were manuals) that had no problem on sandhills, other vehicles included 80 and 100 series cruiser wagons and a troopie as well as a Jackeroo (which struggled a bit) Nissan would just keep pushing up the sandhills until the rear tyres started to lose traction, then the diff would lock up and push us over effortlessly, in the end my wife was doing much of the driving and loving it.
