Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey guys, lookin at buyin a disco, have always beena V8 person, with the old man ownin several V8 rangies, and headed that way with a disco, but wonderin how the diesles go compared to them.. i will be usin the car for a daily driver and for camping trips, with the odd fouby trips thrown in.. also for jobs like gettin fire wood and tip runs..will be gettin a manual if i can, and i only have around 5000 to spend, so it will be a early 90s mod.. i especially like the 3 doors...

cheers, any opinions appriciated

For 5k your going to be pretty much limited to a early V8 Disco...Shop around for a 94 model as u will get slightly better diffs....

I would stay away from the diesels for that price.

Yep, 5k might get you a 3dr high k 200tdi disco but will get you a reasonable V8.

I've seen some good examples for that sort of brass. 94-95 model V8 with a 5 speed box I've seen for $5-6K in good condition. Less than perfect ones or high kilometer examples are cheaper but buyer beware.

Tdi's in that price range are a gamble. Probably be examples with 300+K and less than perfect, but sometimes you can strike it lucky

Just posted a 2 door 93 diesel 5 speed disco up the road (wollongong nsw) that needs a few bits of tlc for rego but looks sound for 4k
