Well you have answered you own question then.
Has to be a diesel. Resell will be alot better on a diesel than a v8.

and if you are looking at 95-2000 then only the 99-2000 will be a td5, earlier will be 300tdi.

Or maybe he could go a V8 with LPG conversion ... :confused:

Depending on where you live and what you will be doing with it, I would go for a TD5 for long distance touring/towing or if you live in the North away from major civilisation. Or If you live in the South near major civilisation I would be going for a V8 running LPG.
