appreciate advice on price. It would be like buying a new vehicle that has been

Poida, from d2au site. He was told to expect about $16k for the above.

Poida...all my mates who have pajero's....both petrol and diesel are very happy with them...it's like all vehicles...you have got to know their limitations and don't push them too far...that's all....not aware of any issues with them....one mate is a former disco owner and another a former nissan patrol owner..the other two used to drive rodeo's, one one still does...but all love their pajy's.

Presume you mean new to yourself not new from the show room floor ?? The only thing I can comment on that I have heard is the 2.8 D pajeros like to blow head gaskets. Lady at my work HAD one and did three heads traded it in on the third time. Yes it was very well serviced and didnt tow with it used it to transport her show dogs around. Wether it was just a lemon of a car ?? possible but I have heard it from other owners. There is a member on here that has one red in colour, cant remember there user name but he might be able to fill you in more if he reads your thread. Regards Steve M

Thanks guys. I think I'm swaying towards the pajero, I'm just not sure if I can put enough faith in a Disco again.

Shame though, they're pretty good when they work...

Hi Poida, can you tell me where you found the post for Harries Disco on d2au. I might be interested in that vehicle.

thanks
