am currently using a 2013 late Montero V98W GLX ( Diesel) which I got 3 years back when she had done only 35K +. Now she is slightly shy of 85K, but still in top nick and company maintained to the dot.
It’s a nice set of wheels , fun to ride with ample power and space. But refinement & creature comfort wise am wondering whether to upgrade to a Toyota Prado 150 or Land cruiser 200?
My budget is 14Mn which I may be able to stretch another 1/2 Mn. I need something which has equal power to the Monty or more, but more comfortable and refined ride.
i have been looking at a few 200 V8 Petrol LCs. As per the ads I think the best 200 I could afford would be something manufactured between 2008-2010. But fully loaded ZX or AX G special.
Do you think this is a wise move for me to do the switch? Am I jumping on to a money pit , as the Monty has been very cost effective in terms of maintenance. Fuel is not a major concern as I am getting company fuel pumped.
And if you think V8 is a smart move what should I be specifically looking at in the vehicle in terms of maintenance and what problems to anticipate
Or should I bin the V8 dream and go for 150 and call it a day?
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.
