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?
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
