Thread: Very Tempting - D3

My neighbours recently traded their D2, 2002 model air bag rear, all the accessories professionally fitted, only 75 000km.
Got $20 000 8O
On a brand new Isuzu truck to tow their toys.

D3 deal is only on 2005 stock and runs out soon - you had better be quick.

Like the V8s its seems D2 TD5 prices are dropping but not as much - I have seem a couple of 100,000k 99-2001 cars at between $19K and $21K but most are still selling for about $24K so a trade in of around $20k should be about right - not sure if you would sell quickly privately.

My thoughts

seen this advert tonight on the TV

Very tempting indeed

thanks ron



























hey drivesafe what do you think about your V6 D3 ??? :wink:

Hi hiline, compering it to my D2, I’ll start with the cons.

The fuel tank is way WAY too small.

That’s it



Pros, Take one for a test drive, the ride alone will have you salivating.

Tons of room in both the front and second row seats.

Super quiet.

I haven’t run the WIFE’S in yet but it seams to have plenty of grunt ( and sounds Great ).

So far, it gets about 14 lts per 100 kms but I put this in the Pros as you will still be saving between 5 to 10 time the difference in what it would be with a diesel and what it costs you to buy a diesel ( this is the main reason I went for a V6 over the TDV6. If I keep the D3 for ten years it might cost me more in fuel than I save on a diesel and in your case with that special price, it would take you at least 20 years to burn up the savings over a diesel.

Huge rear cargo area even bigger the my rangy.

Lots of gadgets and play things ( if your into that in a vehicle and I am ).

That price is a winner in itself.

Can’t go wrong.

Cheers

Ok...any rumours of a long range tank in R&D?

This might be sometime as the spare sits under the vehicle :roll:

Cheers,

Purely out of curiosity could someone (Tim?) get a quote on a D3 taillight cluster thingy please.

I figure that will make all us Defender owners feel a WHOLE LOT BETTER about not having a D3.
