    Awsome vehicle. Simply the toughest 4x4 with the most amount of character out of the box of any car on the market. Very comfy and just eat up the Australian road like no other. Will run rings around any other out of the box 4x4 so no real need to do too many upgrades (did I say that? :O )

    80,000kms on my 07DEF and still going strong!

    Cheers,

    Thanks

    Thanks all for your comments. As it was said in another thread, by the time someone post on these forums they have pretty much made up their mind - I've got to say that is the case for me. The issue I now have to work through is to order now, sight unseen or wait until I return and take the chances of one being available in a dealership or a good low miles used one. I have had a look on carpoint.com. There are a few new vehicles available - is this a normal or are the dealers clearing these for the 11 model?

    Again, thanks for your advice.

    Wal

    110's from a dealer will always be available generally, providing you are happy with what colours and spec sells the most, and that will probably be a hard top. If you want to a red vehicle with the HD suspension up grade for instance, than a pre order will be the only way to go.
    Again a 110 second hand with low klms is not impossible, but you will have to be quick or Johnny on the spot, and possibly travel interstate to acquire.

    As for MY11, same as an MY07, go drive a bargain on a run out, the passing year is on your side.

    Essentially the only variation you will find on 110 station wagons in the showrooms is colour, rims, sun hatch (ie sun roof), and rear seats (ie seven seater). Almost all other accessories and vehicle modifications are done by the dealer. The rim choice is between standard alloys and the dual finish which are about $750 dollars extra (total for the five) and the sun hatch is $200. Metalic paint will add another $900. I think the only other 'factory fitted option' is Goodyear Wrangler MTR tyres but I have not seen these on any vehicle except a pre-release one.
