After 2 weeks from my car catching fire,and AAMI saying the money is being put into your account.And things not happening because staff are off for the day so a multi national company can't operate.
THE MONEY WAS FINALLY IN MY ACCOUNT on Friday night
I was tossing up between a 1998 100 series Toyota LandCruiser on Petrol
And a 2000 Nissan Patrol 3.0 turbo diesel.
Both capable of towing my Roadstar & LEGALLY TOO lol
After doing alot of research and asking alot of questions i came to the decision that I buy the Patrol
My reasons where the 100 series on petrol would pass everything except a petrol bowser lol
The 3.0 Patrol had alot of engine problems with the 2000 /2001 models but after asking some questions of the car yard that had it for sale I found that the Patrol had it's engine replace in 2004, so although the Patrol saye's 270K on the clock its really only done156K with the newer long motor,had a full service history and receipts for everything ever done to it
It also had a duel battery system,roof cage,all panels are straight and the inside seats upholstery floor etc where defiantly not of a car 11 years old.So all in all a well looked after 4x4
Did a deal with the owner of Quality used car at Smithfield Andrew
Who i might add is very helpful and not pushy.Kept the car for me till the money came thru .On my word over the phone with no deposit
Only a short drive back to the van park and one on Sunday to Elizabeth and back but drives nice and i feel comfortable in it and more importantly so does Barbara lol
Now to have a break controller & Anderson plug fitted.Then a uhf etc lol been a draining last few weeks
