Hi guys,
Well have decided on the 90 series Prado for our next family car. I want a 3.4ltr on gas (lpg). Has to have ABS and 8 seats.
Have done a bit of internet research and found out the following things:
- Everybody has said don't buy a used prado already converted to lpg. Buy a well looked after petrol one and convert it yourself.
- There are two lpg options for the prado. Conventional and vapour, with over $1000 between the two systems. Has anybody had any experience with these two systems on the prado? Pros and cons for each.
- Only the VX and Grande came with ABS in the 90 series?
- Do not want air suspension. Does VX have air suspension or only Grande?
- Has to tow a 1.5t caravan. Does auto come with transmission cooler?
So I believe I want a used 2000 to 2002 VX prado. They seem to be on the market for around $10,000 with about 150,000 on the clock. I will spend the extra to get it converted to lpg myself.
Any other points I should look out for? Going to test drive 3 this weekend.
