Well, it was only for a hundred metres or so ... the rolling acceleration on the 3.0l engine is quite amazing given the size of the vehicle.

And it lowers at 160 into Autobahn mode

The 2.7 is struggling at this point

2) 2013 3.0 8 speed 150000km high $30’s

That's a tough decision. Though at your rate of KMs the 150k should be right. I sold the D3 with 290K and it was just getting a little long in the tooth. Having said that, whist I did look after it I also gave it a hard time with lots of beach work, offroad stuff and safe but impatient towing (read: foot to the floor passing). With a good 'lookerafterer' going +300k wouldn't be a problem.

But a car with only 85k is also appealing......

I reckon you know once you drive them.
