Hi All,
I have been a forum member for a while and reading a lot of about Prados. Finally organised my finances to buy second hand Prado. I read about new 2.8l engines and DPF issues. So after searching, narrow down to two options. Budget $48.000-$50.000
1st option - 2015 GLX KDJ150R 3.0L (MY14) with 25.000km, $48.500 with towbar. Dealer used. Standard 1 year dealer warranty.
2nd option - 2016 GLX GDJ150R 2.8L with 33.000km, $49.000. 4 months original factory warranty remaining. Private sale (current owner due for a replacement, finance is all clear) Very clean, mainly city and occasional country driving. Last service August 18 checked service invoice no issues. No tow bar. Leased car. I asked owner if he had any issues with DPF, as far as he know s no issue what so ever.
Please share your opinions with me, which option would you go with and why?
Thank you
