Help Me On This

[tiv]

Hi there friends,

Well recently I have a very appealing offer for my 2.5 N/A 90 (defender) in exchange for a Toyota Hilux (2007 yr)

of course there is a balance to be paid...

Well in terms of reliability and comfort my Landy is not the best but however she is of great sentimental value to me,

but according to my upcoming needs the hilux seems to be a sweet bargain too

though i'm feeling really bad on letting the landy go..

Please help on this, whats the best choice?

Thanks

If the hilux fills a need, then go for it.

Have being owning a Hilux for almost one and a half years it is a great vehicle,mainly its a daily outstation runner,now its got more than 70,000km on the clock not a single problem,but also owning a Defender is something else,you know what I mean right as you personally own one.In terms of the Hilux,do the services on time,you not have any issues how hard you use it.Good Luck

What sort of issues did you have with the 90 and when was it made?

No idea about new hilux made in Thailand..the older one made in Japan is really good i should say.

The defender is an 85' , it's a LR 90.. The earliest ones... The engine needs work besides there's

Always something up to fix

Besides aircon, electricals etc, the interior also is not the best, with horrid brakes,but i've been through a lot with it..

But she's got 33" tyres , warn winch, snorkel and the bits...

Geez I gotta make a decision today....
