Looking at buying a GQ
Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 1:36 pm
Hey guys,
Done a bit of a search and answered a few of my questions, but still got a few.
Looking at spending about $4000-$7000. Looking at 88-91 LWB diesels, will settle for the right dual fuel though. Don't want anything crazy yet, just looking for something that can get me camping, hunting and a few easier tracks. Will probably start modding later on, but not just yet.
Obviously these are starting to get up in kms in this price range. Obviously it'll be on a case by case basis, but what sort of kms should I start getting worried at? Is there much life left in a TD42 after 370,000 kms? Can't afford to buy one only to have to tear the engine down in a few months time.
I've read a few things about the bodies cracking in various places, being new to fourbies is this a common problem with all makes? Anything that can't be fixed by MIGing it up?
Probably forgoten something, but I'll post up later when I remember.
