Reply With QuoteI'm not really sure. I honestly think that the 98 is over valued and for that price you might get a newer again D2 V8 which has more room and newer bits.

Depends what you want to do with it
Rough stuff etc., then I would go the Tdi
Comfort, family vehicle then the V8

TDI300 all the way...... only cos i already got a V8 in the drive way

SubscriberThe TDi 300 because:
- lower priced
- less gumpf to break and go wrong
- Better mileage out of each tank
$5,500 is quite a price difference even considering the '98 is 1 year and 50,000Km newer.
Anyway - that's my take on it.

I'd go the TDi - that looks a reasonable deal

Go the Tdi Sonny. Economy + less electronics to worry about as well.

I went the Tdi.
A workmate bought the V8 - I reckon he got ripped.
Wizard
wouldnt pay that much for either of them
