The good thing about them is they are cheap. They aren't as sought after as the later 4.5. The 4.5 is the better engine. Performance wise the 4 litre is on par with the 1hz non turbo diesel but uses twice the fuel. 4 litre is worth 5 grand in typical condition.

I have been thinking of a 4.5, what type of fuel usage do they get?

anywhere between 16 and 20 litres per 100 around town. more off road, and sometimes less on the highway.
a 3f is more like 18-24
