Coming Back

[chuck]

Well it looks like I am coming back to the fold after the sale of my D3 back in January and straying to a different brand.

Looks like I have sold the other vehicle with very little loss.

I would appreciate opinions on resale of a D4.

SDV6 with ediff in Fuji White or

SDV6 with Hi ICE, reverse camera & rear air in white, grey or black.

Which would be best for resale.

Also does anyone know how the standard stereo in a D4 compares to the stereo that was in the last of the D3's (9 button).

I am leaning toward the SDV6 SE over the TDV6 because of the very good pricing at the moment.

Cheers

Hi Chuck,
Welcome back mate. Sounds like you have seen the light.
SDV6 is a great choice. Try for the ediff for good resale.
Rear air is also good.
White, grey or black are normally good colours for resale.
As for the stereo, the standard system in the SE is awesome.
I am up in the city at least once a week if you want to check out or drive mine. Send me a PM.

Cheers, Craig

Off topic I know but what was that made you decide to sell the current vehicle?

"Cause Land Rovers are a far superior vehicle"
Hehe! :-)

Well the new owner picked up my Prado today.

Hopefully Bank Cheque clears OK.

The Prado was a limited edition Altitude D4D Auto fitted with all the usual ARB suspects.

Luckily I bought with a good fleet discount & lost very little.

One positive about Toyota's is their resale value.

If everything goes OK will be able to post replacement vehicle up on the weekend.

Santorini black
Ebony Interior
Hi Ice

Rear Air
GG AT's
Belt Moulds

Unfortunately no ediff but it was a stock car at a great price - hence the enquiry about the discrete winch mount.

SDV6 vis TDV6 is the S the petrol? Scuse ignorance :angel: :eek:

[sniegy]

PeterOz,
The "S" stands for "S"uper "D"ooper V6 :p

There is only 1 petrol variant now & that is the 5.0Ltr V8 in HSE guise only.
The V6 petrol was dropped at the end of the 09MY.

SDV6 was for high output 3.0Ltr TDV6's
TDV6 was kept for the 2.7Ltr variant, which are now NLA.

We are waiting on info from LRA for final wording of what will be what in the future so stay tuned.

Cheers

Well I have had the D4 for a week now & I have the permagrin.

Streets ahead of the Prado & an imprvement over the D3.

Towed a two tonne trailer today could hardly believe the performance of the car - very impressive.
