Am picking my new car up tomorrow as i want to get into 4wd'ing with other half but don't quite see myself in a navara/patrol/hilux/ranger etc etc
she's a 2009 TDV8 with 138km, i've pretty much had japanese imports all my life but there isn't really anything on offer to import from japan thats 4wd.
Being euro i organised for her to go to my mechanic to get fully checked over, needs about $1500 worth of work, so that was adjusted into the price,
one thing i found annoying is that 98% of them have pale interior [bighmmm] which is all good if you're an office worker lol, so seat covers and rubber mats will be high on the list.
took awhile to find her, i wanted at the most 170/180km but commonly over 200km and still relatively cheap, and most tdv6, found this one about an hour out of perth,
ticked the box being tdv8 and under 140km [smilebigeye] and full service history and work receipts
i can't wait

You'll never go back to oriental after a Range Rover.
Welcome to the forum.

The 3.6 has 2 turbos, one for each bank whereas the 4.4 has a primary and a secondary turbo, each shared by both banks.
