    D3s are getting cheap

    In my ever staring gaze for an update to steering a D2,I see lower spec high KM D3s are getting very cheap.
    I would love a D4,but think it wil be a D3 to replace BlackBetty.
    Not me,but this is cheap.

    There is also one for $15000 listed,diesel with slightly less Ks,thats what I paid for my D2 when the cheap D2s were $20K plus.

    Like all up market cars loaded with electronics and all the other fruit.

    I could buy a 2008 Merc sedan that cost about 160k for 20k with 170k kms on it right now from a guy who has had it from new. Only mildly interested.

    The only saving grace with diesel TDV6 D3's is that Ford started using the same donk in Territories so there should be be plenty of spare motors around anytime soon.

    cheers, DL

    Your right Pedro,2005 isnt much newer.Realy would like a late D3 HSE,or a D4 SE or better.The Red Terror has a drinking problem compared to the D2,and it prefers to GULP 98.D2 is starting to feel old,especially after driving HER car.
    Anyhow,she cant drive at the moment so I get to choose from the Red Terror,the D2 and the Defender Xtreme.Funilly enough I havent driven the Defender since bringing it home from Debs work

    Wash your mouth out!

    One should not associate the word 'Cheap' with a quality product such as this. At that price, I believe the term is 'More Affordable'...

    I made that assumption from the pics - looks like a TR knob (the big round black one) and a height adjuster switch on the console (to the left) - I assume in the same general position as a Sport console.

    I looked at pics of other coil sprung D3s they are missing the switches there.Also a dash pic shows a terrain icon,plus the body is in a lifted position in the pics
