milindu Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Hi! Delayed reply due to joining this forum so my apologies. Hope you have found your ideal 4x4. The older Monteros are here on Tsunami Permits. Good model but the GDI engines are messy to maintain. The Brandnew V6 is much more resilient but is high on fuel (4-4.5km/ltr City) and the suspension is quite hard for my liking. The older Prado TZ models seem the better buy. I have had one for 2-3 years (301-XXXX) but is still decent to drive. Just moved on to the new TZ with G spec. The 2700cc versions are pretty sluggish to get around in.
