Thread: Y62 patrol

Depreciation is a massive, massive factor.

For example, people that bought Ford F150's from ford in oz could sell them years later for as much or more than what they paid for them.

Also, a friend bought a GQ a few years ago, and it has been very reliable and cheap to own, and he could sell it for not much less than what he paid.

Contrarily, to give one example, when i bought my Rok i also considered a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I looked at their secondhand prices the other day, and if i had bought one at the time i did the Rok, and did the same number of kays, it looked like i would have lost around 40k in depreciation, in 3.5years. That would hurt.

What would hurt more would be to buy a GL320 for around $150k and ten years later sell it for $20k.

I dont think so. What i like about my diesel is that i can accelerate hard whenever i choose and not be worried about the fuel cost. I can kick V8's arze and use less fuel than them doing it. They can only beat me if they want to spend big bucks at the pump.

Your right to a degree but i can get stupid economy from our Macks tridents if i wanted too and drove like a idiot. Averaged 550kms per tank on the 110 if i wanted too i could easily do under 450kms. Thats 16-17ltrs per 100kms.

Not impressed so far by some of the arrogance on the patrol forum... seems that some are in the same category as cruiser owners...
AULRO has a totally different feel to it!!
