Yes, A duplicate thread wasnt really needed, expansion of your previous one would have worked as well.
I think bottom line you have to decide what you want, and more importantly, What can your budget afford.
Its no use pipe dreaming on a laden D4D Grande with all the trimmings if its 15K above what you really want to be spending. Simple theory.
As a note, bargains can be had with patience and looking.
My Ex-wife just recently picked up a Pearl white 07 GXL, 103k, Mickey Thompson 265/70 STZ's, Satnav, rear air, Sahara bar, D4D, Rear Roof DVD player, and full leather.. for $21500!! Owner was moving OS and needed to move it quick.
Figure what you want to spend and keep hunting.
A Pajero will give you many more bells and whistles, a lot cheaper as they have poor resale. I tow with them all the time thru a course of work and they are fine.

but very good service history and looks immaculate (and confirmed from service history that its must have been mostle highway kms). think we did pretty well for $21k. I totally agreed with a KDJ being a better option for us, but the Mrs is sick of Diesel fuel issues and i can understand it. Our last 2 cars have had diesel common rail engines and both have suffered very very expensive problems related to poor Australian fuel. Thanks all and if anyone has anything to add with regards to things i should double check on the this type of car? that would be great. Thanks for your help, and THANK goodness we are back in the Prado owning family again, what a great car.
