Dealer with the 2001 silver was ok, just knows nothing about RR.
Dealer with the Autobiography is a real bastard.
Find a really nice P38, give it a good inspection.... Then steal it :)
Hi Mick, I have recently come back from 15,000 km up the centre and over to the west. I am currently having some work done on my P38 because of a bush mechanic at Onslow, WA.
The P38 was great towing a Tvan behind, we got to spend a couple of days at Boggy Hole on the Finke river. Travelled the Gibb River road, no troubles crossing the Pentecost River but the GRR was very rough up to El Questro and not bad after there.
Just make sure that the people who work on them are familar with them.

Craig, perhaps I should put the price of mine UP!!@
Trevor, I actually thought yours was sold - it's gone off allclassifieds??
Paul and I were discussing yours again last night.
Thank god its gone of all classifieds!! That explains why the scam emails have stopped coming.
Don't start me on sales falling through!! One day you have three serious buyers, then next day, none.
So its still available, check the 'markets' here.
So...... choose one of the following for value for money and give your reasons!! :)

Trevor - we are serious buyers! I think we've been convinced to get a Motronic though. I do keep coming back to yours as really good value for money, especially with the LPG. And it's been independantly verified that you know what you're doing and are a very nice bloke. That's far more praise than I direct to most people selling used cars :)
The red one appears to be pre "Motronic" upgrade (it has the older model wheels). I'd therefore check out the black one and offer a price between the two...say $14k. The back doors (hatch) on both appear to be properly "square" in their alignment so you may be lucky re. water leaks in the spare tyre well...but check with a hose anyway... plus all the other stuff you've been discussing...good luck!Quote:

I'll give my TOTALLY unbiased opinion of the GEMS/Thor debate, remembering that at the moment I have both!!
The Thor is definitely a better vehicle, but at what cost. I was able to purchase mine at a very good deal otherwise I would NOT spend the extra money.
When I was looking to upgrade to a Thor, a year ago, the changeover was in the order of $5000+. That's without factoring in the benefits of LPG.
There was no way I would pay that for an extra couple of wheels of traction control, a slightly better stereo system, supposedly a stronger front diff, (anyone ever break a front diff?), some very minor trim differences and a bit more power and slightly better fuel economy.
Obviously, the younger car would also be expected to be in better condition and have less mileage but this is not always the case.
Plus in my case, better the devil you know than the one you don't. I'd already done most of the usual bits.
But after making this momentous decision, (and investing in an update to the LPG system),my mate decides he needs a Rangie Sport so his Thor is available a price too good to say no to.
So, I now own two P38s and have begun the ritual of 'maintaining' the new one to my standards and installing LPG to gain back the economy I'm used to.
You can do a lot of travelling on 5 or 6 thousand dollars worth of LPG!
