Firstly thank you to all the members who gave me advice on the Pajero and Toyota 76 series. All of your input was constructive and informative.
I have been waiting for the GX to arrive for 6 months. Finally got to see one to-day and I bought it. (That
Snorkel has to go)
We had been looking at the 76 series and the Pajero Anniversary.
We were so close to buying the Pajero, the dealer let me take his demo
home last night, impressive I must say a very nice vehicle and good value for money.
In the end the 650NM was the winner. The Toyota will most likely be our last New Vehicle and I am planning to have it a while..
Price was great IMOP. $75k With Tow Bar, Drive Away. Traded in my X-Trail for $13000. (That was as high as anyone would give me for the trade in)
If some one tells me they got a GX for less I will SHOOT them javascript:emoticon('Laughing')
RMR is $83 Plus on roads.
Anyone want a 1992 HJ80 1HD-T Landcruiser. Its going to be hard to part with the old girl :-(
Cheers
Wayne B

You won't regret getting a 200, they are great though I am only slightly biased :)
Cheers

Good for you Wayne I can see the sense in that and would consider that myself.
$75 on road is about what I hoped they would be and was dissappointed when they quoted $78 basic.
I note that recent 4X4 Australia
test it came up quite
well although they did say that the
snorkel was to loud to use with the window down.
Enjoy it , it should give you years of fun.

Just a quick question. You say "In the end the 650NM was the winner", but looking at the website, Toyota shows 430Nm and Paj 441Nm.
Would just like to confirm.
Nice purchase either way.
Cheers
Steve
