the joys of being married to an accountant

At the end of the day, I need something that is my daily driver, which I can drive all over Adelaide on a daily basis for work, and isnt going to require me re-mortgaging my house just to put fuel in it.

Unless you do a lot of km or manage to sell your V8 at an inflated price/find a TD5 for cheap, you'll probably find the extra expense of changing from V8 to TD5 could of just been put towards the fuel costs... Plus you'll be starting all over again with an unknown vehicle with who knows what potential problems vs. a machine your familiar with...

Good points.

And yes I do a lot of Kim's. At the moment I am averaging $600 a month in fuel costs. Which is unsustainable.

You must be doing a lot of Kms to rack up that kind of fuel bill. Can understand why you'd want to change.

Fair enough then. The diesel would probably save you about $2,000.00 a year in fuel costs then.

The amount you're spending on fuel, it would be what, 6 months (12 max) til it's paid for itself??

You then keep your Disco (which you know) rather than buying something which you'll have to spend money on, it'll be cheaper to run than a diesel, and you keep the power you're used to also.
