    The D3 coiler has pretty ordinary ground clearance so if you go down this route and you want to go offroad a lift would have to be on the cards.

    i just picked up a D3 last wednesday, and id go the diesel everytime. The diesel is very smooth and quiet. Im sure the v8 would be great as well but prob not so good if fuel gets more expensive than it is currently. The diesel id imagine (ill find out soon) is re-mappable to similar levels of acceleration than the v8 has now.

    If you are buying a 200K D3 chances are you will be up for some suspension work anyway. I went the Dobinsons 50mm+ kit, depending on the load you want to carry you may want to forgo the heavy springs and keep a lighter rate.

    beware thou with having the old succsess curse. if you have a D3 dont take it to quotes ect cos people will think thier bills will be too much. I used to use a Bmw M3 for work when doing estimates, not so bad now as its getting older but when it was current model business dropped off
