    Scott - I have read your rather inspirational build thread, so those tyre comments come as no surprise at all. I’m imagining something similar to what you’ve done but not quite to the same extent. Not keen on towing much, myself.

    Thanks all!

    Terry, just to clarify, centre diff lock on all of them. e-diff option is the rear locking diff and although will certainly enhance off road capability, IMHO is probably not necessary unless you're getting really adventurous.

    This one does have rear a/c but seemingly not the e-diff. It is SDV6, has full length Rhino rack and the engine compartment looks suspiciously full... is that what a second battery and traxide system looks like?
    Yes, that is a Traxide dbs with the Optima 2nd battery. Excellent system.

    Rear air a plus
    SDV6 so a bit more grunt. Not really necessary but enjoyable
    HSE so a few more goodies
    Also still under warranty
    More kms - whether that worries you probably depends I guess on you want to keep it and how many kms you'll do...

    I can't even say how much I enjoy driving mine - around town and offroad it's a pleasure - such the permagrin. The kids (18, 15 , 11) all absolutely love it, the low sills and stadium seating, there's nothing else like it.

    If you find one you're really hot for, ask for the VIN - you can then check what it does/doesn't have on the TOPIx site, or ask someone here if you're having trouble.

    $70,000. Aren't they $78,000 brand new? I'd be looking to knock that down to at least $60 000. $55,000 would be good value. It does say negotiable...
