310 000 for 4.2 diesel

Post by slowLux »

g'day, is this too higher k's to buy? it's got a regular service history. But it's been used to tow a caravan.

Any thoughts?

drivelie incl i think these machines are just starting to wear in at these km's.... and allot of hiway kms by the sound....

no real dramas just get someone i the know to give it the once over....and factor into the price the resale will be poor....

most dont like to buy cars over 300km,,,,, just a fact of life!

Just did the 370,000km service on mine.

Uses abour a litre (max) between changes & that varies with how many trips I do in that time.

First owner was the fisheries, I dont know if it towed boats then, second owner (from 40,000km) was a friend of the family & they have horses so it towed a horse float (I have also found out since that they put a clutch in it but thats all driveline wise), third owner was my old man who towed with it regularly & also towed a caravan around Oz with it. It still has th clutch the second owner fitted to it & has never had any other driveline repairs at all.

It all comes down to treatment & maintinence.

At the moment there are no driveline noises, only the limited slip clutches are a bit rough but this is common so I am not worried about that.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.
Well they are all following you...
No they ain't, I'm just in front...............

Km's will be ok if serviced ok and with correct oil. When i rebuilt mine at 550,000 bore wear&bearing wear was minimal and still just within fact tolerances, but some camshaft lobes were a bit down and valve rockers and shaft needed replacing. Mine was using no oil between changes. I still ended up doing a complete rebuild though, but would have easily gone much further.

whats the price your getting it for? If its a whole heap cheaper, drive it till it dies and in the meantime hunt around for a low kms 4.2TD, do a swap over and sell the other motor...

getting it for $4250, so it's a pretty good deal i think. With the historyt it's got and the condition it's in. I think he said the injectors had been done a while ago just purely for preventative maintanence
