Recently I have been considering my options with respect to buying a second hand 100 LC. I have been considering the various engine options 6cyl petrol, diesel, turbo diesel and V8. I have noticed that the V8 vehicles do not retain a very high market value compared to the other models. Does anyone have reasonably valid reasons why this is so. Also if I was to go down the V8 track are there any significant issues in running these motors on gas.

G/Day Dindy, Don't forget your paying a lot less to start with!, New or old so the depreciation is not that bad, My V8 petrol is worth $2000, more than what i paid for it 18mths ago, Just hunt around!, Personally i would not put one on gas, if you are going for longlivety, But there are some around that don't seem to have had issues up to the 200,000km mark
Cheers Axle

from the enquiries I made a few years back, if you put it on LPG, you really should use the new sequential injection systems, as a backfire from the older type systems could be fatal to the 4.7
I have a TD myself, amd am pretty astonished at the resale for it. Seems ridiculous but I havent seen ANY selling for less than about $5K under what
mine cost. Ive put 3 years and 90K's on it in that time.
Id have to agree that surely the disparity between the petrol and TD's couldnt get any wider than it is now?
