Ads like this really turn me off from picking the phone up to ask questions about details the seller can't be bothered putting in the ad. 45 photos and all they can say is no hail damage then a lengthy blurb about themselves. Why do they do it? :confused:Quote:

Good idea. Leave it till after Xmas. There's not a lot of reasonable price D3s. I would go for an my 08 or 09 with more km than an older D3.Quote:

What I am also noticing is private sellers using the same identical script which describes the standard features. Yes I know it comes with "Airbags for my Protection"....Quote:

The few that are ex East, I might tell them to call me in the new year unless they are prepared to get realistic with their pricing.
Just got told today to buy a D2 as better off road anyway.....
I hear what you are saying about the later models but not sure if the budget will stretch...:o
D2 better off road, I don't think so, the D3 is far superior off road.Quote:

This car represents great value at $295,000.
You can imagine what the guy who wrote that script would be like at a dinner party...
I spend too much time on carsales. :angel:
Try for a later model if you can, even one with higher km. 2008/2009 MYs are well refined with nearly everything is well sorted on them. Oil pump is still an issue however.
Once I decided I wanted an RRS I test drove about 8 of them all up, mostly 2005/2006, 1 2007 and 1 2008. The 2008 had 150K (double the km of some of them) but drove better than all the others, was noticeable immediately to me, so that's the one I picked up. Interior is better too. I won't say it hasn't been trouble free - the alternator died and the transmission makes some wierd noises that I believe to be the torque converter (lack of trans service - didn't know about that until I bought it) but other than that it has proven to be an excellent and very solid vehicle with an extraordinary array of talents.
